attachTo: How to enable collision for attached objects?

[Undeceived 392]

Hi guys!

 

Simply asked: Is there a way to prevent this? :D

 

 

How can I enable collision for the container so that it doesn't go through walls or other objects?

 

Thanks a lot!

I suppose you can use:

enableCollisionWith

[Undeceived 392]

Unfortunately the at first promising command didn't do anything. Even with named and editor-placed objects it didn't work. Unless I did something terribly wrong.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Or is it maybe somehow possible to widen/extend the "collision area" of the player himself? Let's say about 2 meters so that he would stop if he approaches a wall by 2 meters. Would look like the container colliding with the wall .

Yes it is possible to widen the collision area (geo LOD) of the player with an add-on, but you need quite some modding experience for that.

 

A better way would be to detect, if the two objects are colliding and adjusting the coordinates of the attachTo to prevent it. But thats also much work :)

[Undeceived 392]

Well, I don't have that experience unfortunately. :D

That's sad, I thought (hoped) that there would be an relatively easy way for it.

 

Thanks anyway!

What about the EpeContactStart Event handler?

[killzone_kid 1330]

Attachto removes collision from attached object and there is nothing you could do about it at the moment. Unfortunately workaround is rather complicated

[Undeceived 392]

Thanks, @killzone_kid. Do you think this will change anytime?

Undeceived, what is the chance to meet a dinosaur on the street? XD

 

[Undeceived 392]

Well, I just asked this knowing that kk has a rather closer contact to BI and deeper scripting insight than many here.

 

Ignoring this fact it was indeed a silly question.

 

Anyway, as he liked your post, I know the answer. Too sad...

 

[serena 151]

Undeceived, why so hopeless? The chance to meet a dinosaur is pretty good, 50/50: either meet or not XD

Let's get back to editing, shall we?

Serena, have you started on the gin early this evening? :D

 

@Undeceived, you could sense when the attached object crosses other object surfaces using lineIntersectsSurfaces. It would be a terrible faff to get working - I suspect the effort to make it work would outweigh the benefit unless you have a whole project that depends on it.

I'll look at you guys when BI officially announces that they are working on a brand new engine for Arma IV with superphysics for attached objects.

 

P.S. About editing. Interior interaction script in my signature allow to move and stack objects. Сan be useful.

It*s not a whole project, but I use the container in a mission of a new campaign. I'll see if I can do anything with lineIntersectsSurfaces, thanks for the hint.

Maybe the Orange DLC will be exactly that!! 

 

Ok, I'll check out your sig too - cheers.
