Where is the input field for custom collision types ?

Just set EnableLegacyFeatures to 1 and it will appear. Building the shape into the model file with convex hulls also works.

I expect the title of the next blog post will be "I realised that nobody uses the editor therefore I replaced it with makeGame() method".

I agree with Olby when do we get the Make HitAAAGame() button? I think current gen engines sorely are missing this feature. I think Valve is using it in HL3

Leadwerks 2 actually had a hidden command MakeFPSGame(). If you called it, the engine would play a video of Rick Roll.

Are "collision" shapes embedde in some FBX file still relevant ?

For example a complex static model can have a "collision" shape embedded on the FBX file, some times it is better made by ourselves than using convex decomposition.

 

Not so important point, but it can be good to keep that feature perhaps.

Yes, that works unchanged.

I'm now having second thoughts about this feature.

 

I really need the ability to have set a model to PolyMesh collision WITH Automatic asset reload. This allows me to have a automatically up to date collision mesh when I decide to test in the middle of modeling. And sometime the Convex Decomposition doesn't do as good a job as possible. The old ability to update a model and the physics at the same time automatically was invaluable.

 

Edit:

You cant generate a collision shape in game above a certain polygon count.

Thanks, it should be easy for me to add a polymesh option in the model editor, and much cleaner that way.

on steam version when started EnableLegacyFeatures value goes back to 0.
