Weird effect, any suggestions ?

[Alliexx 10]

Hi all,

I really hate to create a new tread, but i really have tryed and looked true the forum, i'm sorry, but i have to ask.

The thing is, my addon seems to be all fine, except.... when you bump into the object you will pass true it, as if the object is not there. Now the weird thing is, that if i now shoot at the object, the bullet will hit the object, leaving a nice bullet hole and it even moves when the bullet hits. If you after shooting at it bump into it, you will bump into it, the object is there, you can even push the object ahead so to speak.

TATA, my new experiance, i have made a movie for you lott, it might explain the problem better...... Heres my first ever made movie on the internet :)

Ok i hope there is a solution.

Thanks,

Allie

Hmm that is weird. Do you have both a Geometry and FireGeometry LOD? or just one of them?

That kind of reminds me of something else, not that this is helpful: If a vehicle is on a platform capable of moving (like an aircraft carrier elevator), and the vehicle is perfectly still when the platform moves, it won't move with it but rather hover in the air. You need to shoot it to like "wake it up" and have it react to physics again heh.

Alliexx,

Looks like the Fire Geometry LOD is setup correctly, but not the Geometry LOD

JDog,

You may find that if the engine is left on/running in that vehicle, it will follow the elevator.

I did.

Its a thing object right?

Theres some wierd activation of the thing simulation, and unfortunately, what you show is fairly common...

[Alliexx 10]

Yes it is indeed a "thing", so you thin(g)k i should made a house base out of it ?

It does have a fire and geometry lod

The funny thing is, that yesterday i made a big sign out of letter, and made an addon out of it, in this object only the letter I is working as like in the ball, so when u shoot it it becomes solid, if it stops moving again you are able to walk true it.

But its the letters "RANDOM BINGO" as one object, but only the letter I is sometimes working.

haha, what do you think about that then.

Everytime i think i understand this stuff, and everytime you run into something weird.

Well, i'm still at the office, so im not able to test anything, but i will test tonight again and see if the "thing" base class can be changed to something else.

I'll keep you all posted.

Still no solution, i tried a bunch of different config file layouts, but no result.

I yesterday thought to be smart so i created just a cube, to make it very easy.

But after another night of trails and errors, still no result, when object is moving all is fine, as soon as the object doesn't move anymore, you can walk true it again.

Argggggggggggggg, crap "thing"

I will not give up, i want my object to be a "thing" class.

Hmmm, Animation .... hmmm, lets see tonight again :)

Later,

Its so frustrating, another couple of days down the drain, still no results :(

Just a question : is the weight set correctly in the Geo Lod ?

Seriously, does no one listen?

It is a limitation of the "thing" simulation type. There is a strange wake up/go to sleep sequence, which produces the results seen in the video:

1. It acts as if it has no geometry at all.

2. Shoot it, and it "wakes up"

3. Until it stops moving, it acts as if it has normal geometry.

4. Once it stops moving, it goes back to sleep.

5. Go to: 1

Nothing you, as an addon maker, can do about it, beyond raising a ticket on the CTS.

[Alliexx 10]

I did listen to you, its just that when a barrel can work, why wont my ball work.

I will give it up and make my addon house base.

Again its just the pure frustration that one model works and the other doesn't.

Ehhh what is CTS ? counter terrorism system ?

Thanks again, later.

Tnx ProfTournesol, its a weight issue.

Weight below 10 will give you the problems, anything from 10 and up will work, even with the thing thingy :)

Problem solved !

Thanks all.
