Hi, I'm using PH_CHAR for player movement and I am getting a similar problem as described in this thread where the model floats a little bit above the ground regardless of the bounding box. From what I understand, the solution that Cristiano_Iost found was to manually rescale the model in MED. Does anyone know of an alternative solution?

Thanks,

Try something as follows:

my.scale_z = 0.8;
pXent_settype(...)
my.scale_z = 1;

Thanks for the suggestion. It works to scale it prior to setting the type; however, afterwards if I set my.scale_z=1; it reverts it back to its original floating height. I don't think leaving the model stretched out looks too well.

Hm that's weird. Then you probably have to use two models, one invisible model that does the collision detection (let's say with scale_z = 0.9) and one visible model hat is placed at the same position (with scale_z = 1) or a little below.

EDIT: Btw. I'm using an invisible player model for my game, too, that does not even rotate, but the visible, animated "clone" model does, and I'm not using the physics engine. It's a perfectly legit approach.

I had the same problem too.
Just use Object > Tarnsform Global > Center model in MED.
