Below ground level

[sama 67]

Hello

A small issue i cant seem to work out.Here is a building ive made in blender

i place it in the editor and sink it into the ground so as  entrys are at a good height but when i "play" it launches into the air and  lands on the surface.Something to do with bounding box?How do you keep the building at the height i have initally set it?

There's a LandContact lod that should fix the problem.

Dosent the land contact LOD fix the item to the ground so the height cant be adjusted?  Buildings height needs to be adjustable for uneven ground i thought.

Read it in a rush sorry, I don't understand your problem tho. Is it defined as "house"?

see how in the pic some of the building is below ground level.When i put it in game it wont stay like that>The whole building is above ground.Perhaps it is in my config.I will check.

do you have a Geo Lod with a named property class = house? There is no need for a LandContact LOD for houses btw

If you intend on having some underground, how are you going to access it? I assume the terrain will clip into it unless you can somehow carve out a piece. 

 

So is the object center at the base of the building? Or situated where this basement level begins?

 

The object origin in blender usually equates to the ground plane in O2.

what your issue sounds like to me is that its treating it like a physX object and not a static structure make sure in your config it uses the house_f class

Thankyou for replys.My problem was config related.I have it working now.My building is a simple building with no destruction.All animations work correctly.Have i setup the first part of my config,from cfg patches to class animation sources correctly.? Just want to be sure i havent added anything not necessary.

your animations will break coz u have not defined the Land_ class. They will work in editor but will break if the building is hardcoded onto an island. you need to define Land_MEA_building1

[lappihuan 178]

You also overwrote the Baseclass House_F and therefore probably broke every other buidling ingame.
You need to define your own class that inherits from House_F and if you intend to place it on a terrain you have to create a Land_xx class as Auss suggests
