How do I make collisions? [Solved]

Post by Lorul1 »

There's no hiding that I'm still a beginner to XSI. but after reading lots of tutorials I'm getting better...

I need to how to apply collisions to an object

I have a bunch of gray squares (that I copped from the death star create stack msh) inside one of my objects. I know that I will will have to hide them like a shadow mesh (pressing the H key), but my problem is turning them into collisions.

So my first question would be how do I change my gray squares properties into properties for collisions

also ...
a long time ago (on a planet not so far away) AceMastermind released the msh assets for the old "starwars: the clone wars" xbox game.
somehow those objects have the property for collisions inside the "stuff" that there made of.

I would like to know how to change the property of my model its self, or my gray boxes to make them into collisions. Thanks in advanced !!!

You flag them as collision meshes by naming them "collision". It's as simple as that, really.

It does, yes, but using the collision created by the munger is not recommended because 1) the collision generally isn't very good and 2) it can create a pretty bad frame rate drop.

Huh? Collision is good for preventing things from passing through a mesh. ;)
