Collission Box`s

[georgeashby123 1]

Is there a way i can quickly add a collission box that fits around my whole object, people can go inside the object so i cant just use 1 box all around the object, is there a quicker way to add objects around it.

Yes. Add more boxes

Why cant my player walk on the collision boxes ingame, it just makes him hover

you need something called a 'roadway' everwhere you want the player to be able to walk, this is literally just a plane that says 'hey, this is a floor, you can walk here' if the player walks on a collision box there is nothing saying he can walk there hence the floating, refer here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/LODfor good info on all the LOD's you are looking for, geometry and roadway (geometry physX as well for vehicles)

And as for your original question as M1lkm8n said, you need to have the geometry (collision) made out of several boxes for each wall/object 

an example:

 

my object: https://gyazo.com/5f0895981ce9cf863305f0ed6c798d1e

 

my collision boxes: https://gyazo.com/1f6d69abe759b1361263b1453ba8cd7fBetter example of the different boxes: https://gyazo.com/58a0b401b3d1101550955a06c79f9391

Each wall has its own separate collision box, you can not just have one box that only allows for collision where the resolution LOD has faces.

How do i make it a step so i can walk up it? At this moment in time, i can only get on it by dropping ontop. I would like to be able to walk up the side.

[jimmybulmer 21]

so by that I take it you mean stairs/ramp to get to the top, thats simple its just a roadway up the stairs

Staircase: https://gyazo.com/8d542555f8a144a8c15d8887b3d385bd

Roadway: https://gyazo.com/f050c745213ba862871a9526f92170cb

StairCase+Roadway: https://gyazo.com/645b0511024b7b16d19b12dbf15abdf5(obviously these are on seperate layers im just showing how they overlap

 

So basically to do steps you set a roadway with one edge at 0 on the Z axis (height) and the opposite edge at the height of the other roadway

I have done that, but i cannot walk up the ramp, here is screenshots:

It does not even act as if there is a collision box there.

Ok first, you can use triangles for the GEO LOD so using a square there is not necessary,

 

are you saying that you cant walk up it and that you walk through it?

And how does one place a triangle? It is not in the create menu.

I think the way to do it with steps is to make individual step as it is on the actual model. so your collision boxes for steps should look like steps instead of one box.

Is it required to have it in the actual model?

wait if you don't have anything on the visual lod for the ramp you just want them to kinda walk up a 'invisible' ramp, you do not need any collision box what so ever, just the roadway, collision boxes should only be used to block the player walking through visual parts of the model or areas you dont want them to access. Also for steps no you do not need a different box for each individual step https://gyazo.com/0004c03f66a643eaec8f3c81187b8875that is my collision for the steps in the previous model, this works just fine as the player only needs a rough collision area, and the collision box themself have nothing to do with where the player can walk (ontop of that is, obviously it blocks areas) 

[jimmybulmer 21]

also note that is an old model so for instance where the railing has two seperate boxes that could just be one single box as this is only for player collision and one box that covers that area would work fine, of-course if you are using your player GEO for your bullet collision as well (not advised) then that would be the best way to do it

For some reason, i can still not walk on the roadway, it just noclip`s me through it, it pretends it isnt there, i do not have a collission box under it, i only have the roadway.

For the stairway, the roadway should be flat, a simple inclined plane.

What do you mean by this?

 

This is what my plane currently looks like: https://gyazo.com/fd3504889c705335e8f45192fc575f99- The ramp plane is selected, and the black line shows where the ramp is suppose to take me

 

Why is this not letting my walk up it?

[ProfTournesol 956]

Could you show that in 3d view

[jimmybulmer 21]

as george said, roadways are ONLY planes do not use a cube or anything else to make it just planes, so add a plane to your roadway LOD and put one edge of the plane at the same level as the rest of the roadway and the opposite one at the floor level (0) 

[georgeashby123 1]

This good enough?

It looks ok to me.

[georgeashby123 1]

It looks ok to me.

 

It is still not allowing me to walk up it ingame, i have no geometry collision LOD below the roadway LOD, is this alright?

Don't know, i never tried without a geo lod.
