Modified tank destruction

It just doesn't collide with vehicles in the first place, so it's kind of odd.
I'm wondering how come the turret spins constantly around whatever axis it wants, like the terrain only collides with one point on the turret.

[Vilespring]

Okay. I fixed the issue of spinning and (I think) phasing through buildings using invisible wheels.
Now, I'm thinking to solve the problem of vehicle collision is... (help me god) adding an invisible kettenkrad hull!

Post the code to your turret object.

[Vilespring]

Code: Select all

rem *** TigerDestroyedTurret ***
ObjectTemplate.create Bundle TigerDestroyedTurret
ObjectTemplate.geometry Tiger_Tow_M1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.hasResponsePhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.mass 1000
ObjectTemplate.destroyed 1
rem ObjectTemplate.sinkInToLandAfterDeathSpeed 1
ObjectTemplate.timetoliveafterdeath 60
ObjectTemplate.fadeAtTimeToLiveAfterDeath 0
rem --------------------------------------------------
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate e_FireSmallYellow
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate TigerGunBase
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0.325/1.295
rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate 
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate TigerTowerHatch
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -0.792/0.95/-0.232
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate tigerturretrubble
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0.5/0

tigerturretrubble is the invisible wheel set for stability on the ground.

Everything I've read so far seems to aim towards the collision mesh for "Tiger_Tow_M1"...
I see you have response and collision physics set, that's good.

... Okay, I looked at the vanilla game's wreckages code to see what we might be missing here. Have you tried out this line?

• ObjectTemplate.sinkInToLandAfterDeathSpeed 0.1

You have these lines ...

• ObjectTemplate.timetoliveafterdeath 60
  ObjectTemplate.fadeAtTimeToLiveAfterDeath 0

... but I think those are for PCOs!

(Vanilla code for Spitfire wreck)

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.create Bundle Wreck_Spitfire_3_m1
ObjectTemplate.saveInSeparateFile 1
ObjectTemplate.geometry Wreck_Spitfire_3_m1
ObjectTemplate.setHasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.setHasResponsePhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.destroyed 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.sinkInToLandAfterDeathSpeed 0.1
ObjectTemplate.mass 1200

Maybe it's the turret is just missing the collision mesh 2. I can live with that, with some invisible garbage...

[Vilespring]

maybe it's these two lines....

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.setHasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.setHasResponsePhysics 1

has "set" at the beginning.
BF 1942 can be so picky

[Swaffy]

Has anything changed by using those two lines?
