Well i put terrain cutters in a hill and then a path through it but the troops all get stuck as if the surface was still there,but it was invisible.

here's a ze pic
anybody have a solution?

try to give it a .msh.option file and write -nocollision into it

to do that all i would have to do is copy another option file and rename it no hex editing involved?

Edit: i tried what you said and it didnt work

Clean and re-munge. It won't munge msh.option files after the msh is already munged, at least not in my experience.

BTW just looking at what you were doing there, if you have a hill you would only need 2 terraincutters, one on either side. Think of the terrain as a piece of paper, if you raise part of the paper you only need two holes to see through it.

That being said too, you will need something to put between the two holes under the hill or everyone will fall as they enter. But we'll assume you were going to do that anyway

thanks for you help, but it just isnt working, it probably me though

On a test map, try and put a terraincutter halfway through the ground, then on the save pull down go to the bottom where it says Save as Type and select terrain, select the .ter file that shows up on the list and save. Then do a normal save, munge and play find the whole and if you fall through then you are doing things right.

Now on your map, do you have anything going through the hole you put in the hill? If so just move it up and see if you fall though the hole in the hill as well. It may be what you are putting into the hole that is stopping you.

thanks, i did that for both sides of the hill and i worked for one side but when i tried to re- do it for the other side both had collision

and i have no objects in the hill hole

You shouldn't need it but try making a .option file for the terraincutter msh you are using and put
-nocollision in it.

so as and example the filename would be cuttercube.msh.option

ok thank you, i tried that before but forgot to reference it in the odf, sorry for wasting your time

Edit:it was already in the odf nevermind, i dont know whats wrong
