Landable buildings?

[VTB_Bingo]

Not sure if this has been posted on the forums or not. I tried searching on google and no results. I modeled a hangar and all I'm trying to figure out is how can I make it where I can land on it without going through it? All I have right now is a basic .edm. Is there anything else needed? Sorry :) :music_whistling: Any help would be much appreciative!

You need a collision shell.

 

Right click on the model and select 'Object Properties' > user Defined > and type

 

TYPE = "renderable|collision_shell";

 

Or make a lower res model and put

 

TYPE = "collision_shell";

 

in the Shapes folder you need a .LODS file

my example

model={
lods={
	{"WarningSign.EDM",2000.0};
	{"WarningSignL01.edm",3000.0};
	{"WarningSignL02.edm",9000.0}
	};
collision_shell="WarningSignCOLLISION.edm";
}

 

Might of changed since.

Thank you! One question though, what are those numbers in the .lods file? The size of the landable surface? or? Just trying to figure out what those numbers represents.

distance the LOD changes.

 

IF you are not going to have any LODs [Level Of detail] then scrape the L01 and L02

example > {"MyHangerModel.EDM",100,000.0};

 

{"WarningSign.EDM",2000.0}; < visable out to 2000 meters

then the model swaps to

{"WarningSignL01.edm",3000.0}; out to 3000 meters

then

{"WarningSignL02.edm",9000.0};
