pass flag to middle

Post by mathiaz »

Hi,

I pass flag to the middle while dropping it on non standard surface (pyramid, teleport ...).
It works, but when there is a meshbloc middle, the flag goes in it. So what is the algorythm behind this pass? why the flag is not put ON the bloc?

Thanks

Is it specifically a "meshbox" object you're using, or is it a "mesh" object? If it's a "mesh" object, you can add an inside point somewhere inside the object to make it a solid object. I believe that in that situation, the flag would then fly back to the base instead of the center, at least if you don't have any safety zones.

If I'm not mistaken, the '-fb' option will likely be needed as well.
Simply pass it as an option within BZFS or include it within the 'options' section of your map.

Code: Select all

options
  -fb
end

Tried using a box instead of a meshbox? I don't think there much of any reason to use the mesh variants of our primitive objects. The normal box and pyramid objects can use mesh options like materials.

It is not a meshbox that is causing you trouble, but a regular box. Specifically, this box here:

Code: Select all

# Line
box
  position -7 -2 0
  size 16 16 15
  rotation 12.467799419733344
  color 0.1 0.1 0.1 1
end
The issue here is that you are trying to add a color attribute to a normal box. Doing that breaks essentially everything that it can break. For example, adding the drivethrough attribute to that object would make it glitch really hard when trying to drive through it.

You want to do one of the two things, either:

1. turn that box into a meshbox (recommended), or
2. remove the color attribute and keep it as a normal box

One of the primary advantages of a meshbox in comparison to a normal box, is the attributes that you can actually use without the object misbehaving.

In fact, I would recommend you turn all boxes into meshboxes, for possible future adjustments.

Ah, yes, I was mistakenly thinking that it was meshboxes that had the glitchy behavior, but it is indeed the 'meshed' box (normal box with mesh attributes added) that has the drivethrough glitch.
