Hexen 2 origin brush for rotating entities doesn't work #124

Closed Bloodshot12 closed 7 years ago

Bloodshot12 commented 7 years ago

Posted in func_msgboard, posting here as well as it makes more sense. Hexen 2 supports the use of origin brushes like half-life for rotating entities, but qbsp with -hexen2 does not recognize it and treats it as a regular texture that shows up ingame

Tried to throw together origin brush support in cc71ad02

Here is a build: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/scnsbbasbt5nun18/artifacts/cmakebuild%2Ftyrutils-ericw-v0.15.9-2-gcc71ad0-win32.zip

Just name a texture "origin" and make an "origin" brush with said texture?

ericwa commented 7 years ago

Yeah, just a cube with all faces using a texture called "origin".

I tested it with hipnotic, and a func_rotate_entity + rotate_object + info_rotate setup. The origin brush goes in the rotate_object, and you can delete the info_rotate and the target connection between the rotate_object and the info_rotate. Not a huge advantage, but it saves an entity.

It might work with that "rotating func_wall in id1" hack.. not sure

Bloodshot12 commented 7 years ago

That was quick. Now hexen 2 has a new problem though, The entity has no collision when done this way. I assume it might have something to do with hexen 2 having true rotation and using the collision of the actual func_door_rotating?

ericwa commented 7 years ago

Cool, well at least it's partly working.. I'll need to test it out in Hexen 2. Yeah, Hexen 2 has true collision against rotating brushes unlike Quake.

@Bloodshot12 Found the bug! There is a test map included in the archive testmaps/h2rotation.map with a rotating door, collision is working for me now.
