Invisible or hidden entity that records collision event

[Juggernaut]

Hello,

 

What is the difference between -

the invisible material

 

and this command -

Hide entity command.

 

Does Invisible material when applied to an entity also makes the entity such that it cannot record collision ?

 

Is there any simple function available that makes the entity transparent or hidden yet that entity retain

collision detection capability ?

 

Thanks,

[Josh]

HideEntity will disable collisions. The invisible material will just make it invisible to the renderer.

Thank you.

That's a highly specific question from someone who doesn't have a license. Any closer to deciding to buy one yet after 5 months of asking questions

Why don't you say it openly. I am not what you think.

 

I browse through the command reference and try to come up with a picture in my head of how easily I can work with the SDK. I do this for other engines too to ascertain my capability of using their library. Since my funds are very very limited and that I borrow for anything I buy it matters that I must be sure whether I am suitable for the engine.

Yes, I am getting closer each day. Has it been 5 months ? Really ???? Please accept my apology for being a boring potential customer.

Don't take offence please, lots of people pirate software and you are just exhibiting the typical tell tale signs of that even though you state you are not. I am always going to ask the question when I see those signs.

No hard feelings mate.
