rockwelder Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Question: How does one get collision working in game...I am attempting to get collide-able trees. I have the type="collision_shell" set in object properties right but the planes fly right through... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Have you tried TreesTable.sht file in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar folder? Check line 12 "collidable = false;" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Also wouldn't a collision model be required for all of the tree models? Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yes you're right Nate, just had a quick test and it doesn't work, should of known it couldn't be as simple as switching a command from false to true :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Try copying and renaming the exiting model with a "collision" appended to the name? Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Try copying and renaming the exiting model with a "collision" appended to the name? Nate Might this also be a problem ? A3: To correct collision: Collision detection is no longer done by using a combination of a bounding box and non-renderable mesh. To create a collision model, Make a mesh that represents the basic shape of your model. In the "User Defined" tab of the mesh's properties, enter: TYPE = "collision_shell";. Possibly need a surface/mesh property change within the model itself. Martin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Might this also be a problem ? Possibly need a surface/mesh property change within the model itself. Martin... Very possibly, I have little idea of what is actually required. Note:- Collide-able trees could very well break CA if units can't route around them.

ALDEGA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Note:- Collide-able trees could very well break CA if units can't route around them.Can't AI units already do this for existing collidable objects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyTheLung Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Can't AI units already do this for existing collidable objects? ...they can to some extent. If you try placing ground units (with off-road waypoints) in the vicinity of a town/city they tend to get very confused System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockwelder Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I followed luckybob's guide...I tried renaming the file and puting in shapes folder and exported the file to shapes as well, but no go... Collision can be designed to allow vehicles to operate as normal but be leathal to aircraft and helecopters...I want to get this working so as to fully test my theory... I have an idea:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALDEGA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I followed luckybob's guide...I tried renaming the file and puting in shapes folder and exported the file to shapes as well, but no go...Luckybob's description matches the most recent info in ED's Wiki: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/w/images/7/7b/EDM_Buildings.doc (document is in Russian) The model of collisions in the same scene as the object itself. Although it is possible to create a model of collisions in another file, but for building the technology is not necessary. To model the collision, you must specify the parameters that differ from the rest of the geometry. This is done in an elementary way: right-click to go to the properties of an object Properties and the tab is written string User Definied TYPE = "collision_shell". Now this geometric object is drawn, and will be responsible only for the collision. Moreover, at the end of the document it mentions "effects" For the effects of structures are available wet surfaces, puddles on the roof, snowing.To apply these effects to create a set of textures which contain the alpha channel ...Interesting ...

104th_Cobra Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm curious about this project. This aspect is as important for immersion as to have the systems realistically modeled. If the vegetation and structures become opaque for various sensors and gain a collision model, it will be a milestone. I'm not a lot into graphic rendering, but does the current engine or will EDGE have the capability to use particles systems? Doesn't particle systems manage "more easily" fuzzy systems of various vegetation objects... at least the understorey layer or forest floor, leaving the canopy for collision model? 104th Cobra [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this, and it worked to block AI spotting each other, but Aircraft would not crash into it and ground units simply drove through it...

ALDEGA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) example: a box with the type= "collision_shell" parameter placed inside the actual model to be rendered?That's how I understood it. Did you also set collidable = true; in TreesTable.sht and ForestTable.sht? Edited June 5, 2012 by ALDEGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALDEGA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Note: it seems that collidable = true also has some effect with the default tree models. In my test mission, the AI cannot find a path around a forest with collidable = true ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
