Map Collission Glitch?!

05H3T5KY · Post by **05H3T5KY** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 6:33 am

Hey everybody. I'm busy making my first map for Halo CE right now. Just last night I got the first alpha working and playable. I started messin around, and low and behold, there are several areas throughout the level that grenades and gunshots pass right through, and ghosts won't float on.....but you can still walk on those same exact areas w/o falling through yourself. O_o Has anyone else has this problem or know specifically how to fix it? I want to try to get this glitch sorted out before I continue detailing and texture mapping my level. Thanx in advance for your help.

Yeah i have that problem in one part of my base, my guess is just that your walls aren't thick enough

dude...the "walls" are infinitely thin...they're made of planes, no matter what level you choose. It's not the thinkness......the collision model must have gotten screwed up somehow...I'm just wondering if anyone knows what exactly causes this to happen and how to fix it w/o rebuilding the map from the ground up.

sorry to bump this, but someone has to know! I wanna move forward with my map, and until I know how to fix this error, I don't wanna do anymore work on it incase I have to do something drastic.......Someone who knows what I can do, please reply.

Do you mean just increase the space b/w my rooms??? (it's an indoor level) I don't see how that would accomplish anything, but I guess I'll try it later tonight or tomorrow...

I have had this same problem and it has nothing to do with the thickness of the walls. The walls have no thickness and there is no way to change that. There's something wrong with the collision model and I was able to fix most of these problems by recreating all the offending faces. I just deleted the bad faces and used the face create tool to replace them. Then I remade the UVW Map which may be entirely off-subject but I am telling you this just in case. Good luck.

ok... im not stupid, i know the walls are just surfaces this is what i posted in the other topic that is exactly like this

Sorry, I must have misunderstood what you said....I'm gonna try what Sorby said in a few minutes....I suspect that's all I'll have to do...but thanx for your suggestion anyway Gamble, and sorry I misunderstood.
