Solid Models

[madmonkey]

Is it posisble to make objects solid in game, in the same way that blocks built in the engine are solid?

 

I have been trying to make a solid fence using the models in the engine but have had no joy.

Yes, just add a shape to it : http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/shape/shapeconvexhull-r522

 

You can also do this under the physics tab in the edior for the entity. Remeber to give it mass aswell.

thank you, it seems obvious now! Though i now have a noth problem, It seems if my character colides with the object, it now jumps to the right leaving a gap to walk through anyway?

 

I think it might be the collision setting wrong.

Ah if you want to be static, collideable but not moveable, it should have mass 0.

Just a mass larger than the player, no? ( that way you can still knock over the fence with a truck or explosion if so desired)

is it possible to make the shape visible or switch between shape and model in the LE3 Editor? just for debugging

You can also right click the mdl file in the assets and select generate shape, polymesh, and it'll make a shape that matches the model itself. Although this works, it might not be the best solution all the time as the shape will be as detailed as the model, which might be overkill.

There's an option in the menu (I think it's "View Physics", don't have LE available right now) which shows the collision shapes as purple bodies (and the navmesh).
