Collisions don't work with scaling?

[David Will]

Hi, I pulled in a model that is 500x500ft- I scale it down to 0.01 and the collision doesn't seem to work. I tested scaling on one of the tunnel models and it took away the collision also, is there an option i've missed out? Thanks

From what I remember it wouldn't work because your models needs a .phy file to handle collisions. I'm guessing the .phy file isn't getting scaled the same as your model.

 

I don't see why it couldn't though. LE would need to look at the model scale and adjust the .phy file accordingly.

Scaling doesn't even work at the moment, for this specific reason. Josh has no intent to support it. Look at the tracker.

I can scale models in the editor. So that part is working.

Josh has no intent to support it.

 

Has he said that?

I would not rely on scaling at all, since Newton can't handle scaled matrices.

If it is not supported, it should be removed.

 

Yeah, I agree with that.

Newton doesn't like scaled matrices. That's it.

Instead of scaling (=using a scalar factor to multiply each vertex position), couldn't there be a command in LE which actually changes the vertex positions in the mesh and physics shape?
