Hi there,

i have a curios problem with my collision. I use a testplayer as placeholder. He has a simple walkanimation. I use it with POLYGON and for my objects too.

So when i go straight ahead a house, then i walk into the wall. At another house, i cant walk in the wall. But its the same model.

I've tryed the collision with POLYGON and the simple NARROW or FAT hull.

I only move my char with c_move and in the player init i call
c_setminmax(me).

Ive tryed to use c_updatehull but i dont know how.

Here is a small vid. I hope you know what i mean. At the end of the vid, i show the model from the editor. It have triangles.

Collisionproblem

I hope any one can help me.

items in a list format which might, or might not be, relevant / helpful / accurate:
1. c_setminmax(me) at beginning of (player) action
---OK
2. POLYGON flag OFF for moving ENTITIES (& player)
---my.POLYGON = OFF; // C-Script
---reset(me, POLYGON); // Lite-C
3. POLYGON flag ON for low-poly collision geometry (structures, buildings)
---my.POLYGON = ON; // C-Script
---set(me, POLYGON); // Lite-C
---FAT & NARROW flags should be ON?
-------just leave be if unnecessary (remove references to)?

If i use it without POLYGON, then now it works.
But the Bounding box is to small and in the middle of the player.
Anyway, if i set the boundingbox to the players real dimension, then i can go through the wall.

The Problem still exists.

If i use the "normal" collision (without setminmax or something else), then the collision work fine.

But if i use Polygon or the real boundingbox-dimensions, then i can run throug walls etc.

I tryed to make the models with more faces (smaler faces), but that doesnt help.

How can i fix this? I need the real dimension from my player for the collision.

I had a problem like this in the dark old days (early last year ).
It all boiled down to two things.
ONE: Make sure all imported models have NO open meshes (MED mesh tester)
TWO: Try to avoid walls that are too thin. If the wall is less then 8 quants,
either make the wall thicker, or scale the whole world up a notch till it is.

PS - you'll need POLYGON = ON for the houses, and preferably for the player too.
