Collision model is slightly (but noticeably) oversized #39

Closed jombo23 closed 10 years ago

jombo23 commented 10 years ago

The collision model for all props/objects is too large, as seen here

This could also be a possible cause for manwhore syndrome

Oh god that name is hilarious... Anyways these are the collision margins which are required for proper collision solving. I can't reduce them or I'll get a lot of problems with solving collisions (including the return of the evil inverted contact points)

jombo23 commented 10 years ago

Couldnt you shrink the original collision model and then have this "margin" the real size of the model? I mean, this really really messes up the precision of everything and causes collisions where they normally dont happen

DrChat commented 10 years ago

I could decrease the size and let the margin make up for it - but what's the point? It's a small gap that almost nobody notices.

you could disable gravity and let lua scripters apply it manually too, i mean, nobody cares about gravity

What? Literally the gap between objects created by the margins is barely noticeable and it's too much work for me to do the math to shrink the objects by their margins

GranPC commented 10 years ago

wow drchat you're slacking

It messes up tools that use the "easy" constraint system, which is in vanilla gmod. It leaves a huge ass gap in between props that doesnt happen with normal physics.

Sorry I've been less active, been working with some people on a banjo kazooie level editor
