I've made a unit 3x its usual size and it works fine, but when I try and shoot it I can only hit its feet (basically, the space that the regular sized one takes up)

How do I give it an accurate collision? I tried using collisionrootscale and collisionscale but that did nothing

I believe that I read somewhere that units can only be scaled to 200% of their original size before things start going messy...

Units can be scaled up huge without things "going messy" visually - the collision is the main problem. I know Dann_Boeing did some crazy things with Wampas and Han Solos.

Which map is that in again? I wanna look at it and see if I can figure anything out from it

i think there was scaled up wampas in rhen var

it looks like he just made all the hunter's weapons track directly to the enemy therefore eliminating the need for an accurate hitbox :/

Indeed, which is why I said collision is the main problem.

is there anything that could possibly done besides scaling up the model in XSI manually?

i dont think so and i doubt that scaling up the skeleton in xi will help eithersince it seems like the hitbox is independend from that

I give up :/

I guess the Giant Gamorrean just isn't to be....

Acklays have custom hitboxes, don't they?

every unit has a different hitbox, it depends on the model... butif it goes over 2x normal size the hitbox( = collision) becomes a square

yeah, but they are acklays, not normal units, just like the droidekas are
@bob: i doubt that, if it was like this collisionrootscale and offsetlines in the odf wouldnt be necessary, but they are.

Could I possibly make a collision for mr. gamorrean the same way vehicle collisions are made?

no, unitcollisions are mostly handled hardcoded, except for the few odflines for tweaking custom skeletons.

mreh :(
