One problem I seem to keep running in to at the moment is objects that are on the ground in the editor are floating in the air when in test mode. This is compounded by the problem with collision detection working intermittently at best. Even a simple box collision on an imported asset can have a collision box way off from the object and the object itself you can walk through.

Any thoughts?

Perhaps. If you made the model in Blender, did you Apply All (or at least apply the scale and location) before exporting?

As far as the floating object, did you place it on the ground in the editor, but it floats up when you run the game? If so, you may need to go to Advanced settings and check the IsImmoble box. If you can't see Advanced Settings on your right-side panel, go to Edit>Settings and, in the pop-up that appears, click the Developer tab (click Yes when it asks) and check the Display Developer Mode Object Features box toward the bottom). I'm just guessing here, though.

It would help if we had a screen shot to see what's happening. Even better, it would help if you had a model you could share that was doing this.

Its better than it was but i also still get models with collision issues especially with static Polygon.
I have reported it a couple of times. It seems to depend on Model and scale from my tests.

Hi @Argent_Arts, I have a standard process for exporting models, I always make scale, location and origins are in the correct position, so I don't think that is the issue, but I will double-check.

As for IsImmobile. That works a treat! I have all the advanced menus activated but have not been through every menu yet, so I appreciate the tip. This also made me re asses another problem that I had and have now sorted that too!

Do you find they work better with bigger models or smaller? I have a number of buildings as I have built a city scene, though some have arches and stairs that I would like to be interactive. I have tried hull Decomp, this seems to be hit-and-miss. Even models that come with GGMax stop working in some tests

My own models i create in feet and inches . Perfect every time ..
Ones from Sketchfab interiors for example are very hit and miss especially you you have to Guesstimate the scale as Original is usually the size of a match box and other selections are way off so it seems to be slider scaling where things go wrong for me.

Glad this helped. When the model has physics, it will move a bit, interacting with the environment. Checking IsImmobile keeps that from happening. But, if it's not sitting squarely on the ground, even without this checked, that could be an indicator that something is "off" with the model. I would try exporting a simple cube from Blender and bringing that into MAX to see if it sits nicely on the ground or if it floats a bit with IsImmobile turned off.

I will be exporting a few more custom models today so I will give it a go and post the results.

If you need someone to take a look at a model (i.e. you export a cube and it floats, etc.), feel free to share it and I'll take a look. If you can, share the .blend, if possible and/or the FBX. With the .blend, I can try to export it on my end to see if I end up with the same results as you do or if it works on my end.

Hello,

About the floating entities, I reported that problem on GG MAX Repository on GitHub https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues/1647 and it is now validated as a bug to be solved with a high priority.

(By the way, I noticed that the User Manual https://gameguru-max.document360.io/docs is at an advanced stage).
