Proxys placed where

[Messiah 2]

Ok... i'm currently creating a static machine gun and have encountered a small problem with the fact that it appears to have a invisible box around it deflecting bullets - strange...

now, it may be because i have proxies in some of my non view LOD's, but i've never been sure which ones should have the proxy in it, or shouldn't

i currently have:

Geo

Fire Geo

Hit Points

with a proxy in... im assuming one of those is casuing the problems

Remove the proxy from the Geo lod that is the problem I think

[Messiah 2]

that didnt work.... i removed the proxys from all of those LOD's and nowt... it still hits an invisible box.... i seriosuly cant work it out

As Extraction said 'You dont want proxy in the geo lod'

but I dont think this would cause the problem.

If possible pics of your geo lod in bulldozer and the mgun in game might help us.

Quite the opposite, proxies should be present in the Geo LOD, otherwise collision detection with the proxies won't work.

Correct that you want the soldier proxies in the Geometry LOD,however there shouldn't be any in the hitpoints,memory lod or such.

You also do want them in your fire-geometry

I am not sure what your problem is,asides the settings in config.cpp that enable you to shoot the gunner.

You say there is a box around your addon.I have only seen this with errors usually regarding limits: (faces,geometry,size etc)

weird.... its a very small weapon

lol. stand corrected again.

I have only made 1 mgun and did put proxy in Geo.

@Messiah

if you like I can send you the p3d folder to compare to what you have.

Sometimes you may have to delete the geolod completely and recreate it from scratch.

klinkers... thats what im about to do seeing as this has worked in the past with pesky weapon muzzle flashes

ok... i think i know whats causing the problem... it was the proxy, but the use of 'find components' - now originally i had done it on the hit, fire and geo lod's - this caused a porblem, i then deleted the selections in the fire and hit and left them in geo (so the muzzle flash doesnt show) and now nothing can hit it... it wont be blown up and the guy wont be shot... weird...
