Geometry problem + LandContact Q

[Deadfast 43]

Hello all.

For the first time I'm creating an object for ArmA (an ATM machine).

I got everything set up correctly and the model works just as intended.

Well, except for the collisions.

So far I understand that it's LOD called Geometry that works as a collision mesh. Also I know that the Geometry object has to be triangulated and edges sharpened.

Unfortunately no matter what I do I just can't get the thing to work.

The best I got so far is having bullets impact on the geometry (by using Component Convex Hull function).

Now for the question about LandContact.

Is there a way I can make the object's position relative to the Y axis instead of the ground?

i.e. the object will always aim straight upwards instead of tilting according to the terrain?

Thanks,

Deadfast

That's true for the ShadowVolume lod, not for the Geometry lod. See here for its criteria: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/LOD#Geometry

Yes dengibtsschon is right, GEO LOD can be 4 point faces, so long as its closed.

I suspect your problem is you haven't added mass to it and/or you haven't selected;

STRUCTURE -> TOPOLOGY -> FIND COMPONENTS

Ah, thanks guys, I'll get right back at you

On the "stands upright" ... not sure, but if you make it the same class as a house ... likely fix the problem.

Thanks again!

Forgot to add the mass...

Don't forget the components!

Don't worry, got it 100% working

But about that house class - could you elaborate a bit? If there's something I suck with more than O2 then it's configs
