No way to turn Static on/ off live via script?
I want to ScaleObject( obj, x, y, z ), and then make it
Static to save frame rate. I got it as bad as +~14 FPS because in order to detect call
the object number :g_Entity[e]['obj'] , it must be dynamic. (Sure looks this way,
if I'm wrong, any pointers?) I use isimmobile = yes, and need collision on.

if an object changes in any way it is not static so no you shouldn't scale a static object... if it is just one object eating up 14fps make sure the collision mode is correct and optimise the script if possible

issimobile=yes forces polygon collision mode so should only be used on low poly dynamic entities otherwise FPS will suffer!
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

"if it is just one object eating up 14fps"
BTW that's a total of 14-20 fps on the ticker, not a drop of that amount.
So far it's in the ~400 objects range as I'm messing with very basic procedural building stuff.
And since I did some modifications to the map, it's better. Turning off/ on static when needed
live game would just be handy tho.

Good to know AM, kinda seems strange, but now that I think of it, it seems right.
I wonder why it's not possible to pull the object number from g_Enity[e]['obj'] from
a static model? Moving static models is possible. So-

For FPS I will look into texture sizes if it comes to that....

with the way GGC works the AI pathing (and lightmapper if you use it) are worked out at the start of the game and so any static objects that change / move will now have wrong values - i.e. a static wall that is moved would still make the AI path around the old location (and show a shadow there) but the AI would just run right into it like they can't see it in the new location (and wouldn't have a shadow)... if you could treat static objects as dynamic there wouldn't be any need for static or vice versa.

it sounds like you would want a way to procedurally build your level via lua, swap them to static then recalculate the AI pathing afterwards.. unfortunately this is not possible without changing the engine code.
