Hi
I posted more detailed questions in the other sections, but my main problem is why the setting of my.passable=off; is being ignored.
I have two models, one ball and one player. the player moves towards the ball and then simply passes through it. I have the passable box UN-CHECKED in their respective properties box.
I tried a test script for each model:
while(my.passable=off)
{
c_move(my, vector(0,0,-1), nullvector, activate_trigger);
wait(1);
}
and the while loops run ok.
any ideas Please, I'm tearing my hair out
Thanks

never mind found the problem.
After instantiating the model (standard hero.mdl) and scaling him up to fit my environment, his collision area went from his whole body to only his lower half.
I'll let you know if I find anything else
thanks

try while(my.passable == off)
Because you need a boolean here!
I'm not afraid of competition cos I'm know that I'm best

When conditional statements are involved, whether through an if statement or while loop, a double equal sign is needed. When assigning a value, a single equal sign is needed.
if (my_variable == 8) // I read it as "if my variable exactly equals eight"
{
my_other_variable = 4; // I read it as "my other variable equals four"
}
Just something to consider.

Hello,
sometimes you need to set the move_mode
of all models to ignore_passable and Ignore_passents.
I once forgot to do that and got similar problems.

Hi
that was a typo while(my.passable=off) it was
Problem solved, sort of.
The two models, one the standard hero.mdl and one I created (ball.mdl).
collision only works when the ball colides with the hero.mdl's legs (waist and below) not his chest,head, or arms.
The hero model was scaled up WED to fit the aspect ratio of the room.
I think this caused some sort of screw up.
I can explain this further if needed.
thanks for the help

there was a time that models should always be at or very close to a 1.00 acale in WED.... but this was for visual errors on some cards.... looks like this is another good reason to scale the model in MED so it's not scaled in WED.
Maybe try that, but i'm not certain if it will help as much as the previous answers...
