I'm working with the pre-release and FBX import is working great. All the models come in with their textures correctly placed. My only problem is now when i run the level my player code (which uses c_move) doesn't recognize the model for collision. On my other model based levels i converted my models to .mdl so all i had to do was enable polygon in the entity properties to get collision working. But when imported directly into wed it doesn't have the polygon option. How do i enable polygon collision with these objects?

any help would be appreciated, thnx in advance.

You can't use AABB with concave blocks, only OBB. If that was your question.

Static models (FBX) don't use polygon collision?

i got this out of the manual under "Map Properties"

Quote:

Select convex or concave blocks for your level. When set at 'concave', no warning message will appear when blocks are distorted. For building a BSP Level, you have to select convex blocks. Concave blocks can only be used for a Simple Level without BSP Tree (not supported yet).

so just to make sure im understanding this correctly, i would have to remove use_aabb from c_move and build the level using the build simple map button in WED (which will be fully functional in the final release)?

thnx in advance

If I'm understanding this correctly, then you'd have to use another [invisible] model for collision... IDK...

Nope, just do as JCL stated: Have c_move use OBB and there you go...

i removed the use_aabb flag thinking that obb would be used by default (says so in the documention) but it still wont collide with my concave level here's the code does anyhting look out of place

Code:

  FUNCTION handle_movement(){
		temp.x = -1000;
		temp.y = 0;
		IF (upkey_var == 1 && dnkey_var == 0 && lfkey_var == 0 && rtkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan; }
		IF (dnkey_var == 1 && upkey_var == 0 && lfkey_var == 0 && rtkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan + 180; }
		IF (lfkey_var == 1 && dnkey_var == 0 && upkey_var == 0 && rtkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan + 90; }
		IF (rtkey_var == 1 && dnkey_var == 0 && lfkey_var == 0 && upkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan - 90; }
		IF (upkey_var == 1 && lfkey_var == 1 && rtkey_var == 0 && dnkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan + 45; }
		IF (upkey_var == 1 && rtkey_var == 1 && lfkey_var == 0 && dnkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan - 45; }
		IF (dnkey_var == 1 && lfkey_var == 1 && rtkey_var == 0 && upkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan + 135; }
		IF (dnkey_var == 1 && rtkey_var == 1 && lfkey_var == 0 && upkey_var == 0) { temp.x = camera.pan - 135; }
		IF (temp.x != -1000){ 
				IF (key_shift == 1){ temp.y = 10 * time; } ELSE { temp.y = 15* time;	}
		}
		my.move_x = fcos(temp.x,temp.y);
		my.move_y = fsin(temp.x,temp.y);
		c_move(my,nullvector,my.move_x, glide);
				
}

i droped this function inside my player action along with one to handle the camera and thats all.... any thoughts

thnx

Make sure that you've compiled the level with "Create Meshes".

i had that option set from the beginning but to no avail. i then tried both "build bsp map" option and the "build simple map" option. the bsp map will load in the engine but no colison on the concave blocks, and the simple map comes back with a "Error E1101 <test.wmb>: Bad WMB format" error and crashes the engine. is there somthing that i could be missing?

thnx again
