I'm struggling to get the collision correct on a model I'm working on (a helicopter). At the moment it's either no collision, or full collision (which includes the rotor blades, meaning you can't get very close to the model). I tried shrinking the collision box in the model importer, but no matter what collision setting I use, the end result is the same - a giant box encompassing the entire model, or no collision at all. Is the collision box editor in the model importer a WIP, or am I missing something?

you must edit the .fpe file, ---> enter collisionmode=1
The software I use? ... Autocad, sketchup, Spazio3D, pconplanner, Kerkythea, wings3d, paint.net, torque3d, AxixGameFactory, PD particles.

Nope, I already have collisionmode set to 1.

In the pdf file in the docs folder, there is a document called importing models into GameGuru.pdf.

In there is more collision options for you to try.

Let me know if this helps

Make sure the entity is in static mode. Dynamic entities don't support polygon collision.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I made a working Escalator, but the engine makes it a box collision.
I also tried everything. changed the fpe settings etc etc and changed static to dynamic or dynamic to static.
It appaears it Always makes it a box collision.

Even if set to static, it will be quasi-dynamic because of the animation unless you bake the lighting (which will kill the animation) and even then it may retain the box collision. Try disabling animation in the .FPE and defaulting to static to see if you get collision back.

Yeah i tried that. changed the fpe and disabled the animation. still box collision. set it to static. same result. dynamic, also.
Tried also several collisonmodes but with the same result.

Then I exported the model without animation. and the collision is back to normal and you can walk upstairs.
So it looks like the animation kills the pplygon collision

Have you tried doing it "Not" using the importer...
Manaully making the fpe etc and copying it to the entities folder ?

Just curious..

yes i also tried that, but with the same result.
I tried it later with the importer to change the collision box and manually manipulate, but also with the same result..
Maybe it is something with the exporter. i used the kw x exporter

Henry, you could put an invisible ramp under the escalator and the sides, that would hold the collision, then turn collision off on the escalator itself.

I tried putting it in static mode, but couldn't do so (there used to be a way of doing it in the editor in previous versions, but I didn't see the option). Editing the fpe file (adding defaultstatic = 1) didn't work, nor did using the model importer to import it as a static model. Very strange!
It doesn't matter, though - it is an animated model, so I'll live with the collision for now.
Thanks, Pirate Myke.

Saves headaches. and retains the animation.

Glad it helped.
