i was told that to make an object have no collision, aka the soldiers could just walk through it, you add an .msh.option file for the .msh and put "-nocollision" inside

i tried that, this is my .msh.option file:

kam_bldg_blast_door.msh.option


-nocollision


hopefully i am just forgetting something obvious. ty for responses

-nocollision just tells the game not to build the collision mesh. Instead it makes it use the actual geometry.

Wait, are you sure about that? For the secret areas in ESM I needed to remove the collision so i just added -nocollision which worked o.O

maybe the problem is how i made the .msh.option file....

i mean how exactly do you "make one" for an msh? i just copied another .option file, deleted the contents, and added "-nocollision" inside it...that should work, right?

You would have to rename it.

ie, you have a prop object that has collision called train_master_611.msh. Open a new Notepad document and type in the -nocollision line. THen click Save As.

Then, under the "Save as type" drop down bar, select 'All Files'.

Now go back up to the part that says "File Name".

In this bar, you type train_master_611.msh.option and it automatically then makes the train_master_611.msh lose its collision in game. Make sure you save it to the right place though.

So basically, the thing that ties a msh to its msh.option file is having the same name.

I prefer to right click, and go to "new" and select "text document", it makes one on the spot, you rename it to your .msh name, then add .option to the end of that, then you open it up and add
-nocollision, and save.

Those should do the same thing, I don't think how he created the file was his problem.

Oh, ok. In that case, he still has a problem.
