I'm trying to get a model working that is falling out of the sky and it works now the problem is that the model is going through walls and floors ? it will not blocking or have a little bounce effect on it but it is still falling down to no where
I have tried multiple times with different functions:
* movegravity() - works but model is going through the floors or walls, all the brushes (also tried with Solid() function) but not working.
* moveto() - same as movegravity function it will going through the walls and floors to the end target of the vector (x,y,z)
* launch() - not working, unkown function error in codwaw ? this is what I have on the launch code: ent = model marked_position = location where it needs to go, it has: (x, y, z)
Code Snippet
Plaintext
ent launch((marked_position));
Code Snippet
Plaintext
ent launch(marked_position);
but the both does not work, I get the same message.
* PhysicsLaunch() - this works as well as the movegravity function but when I used this function my models that is falling down are dissappeared but they don't going through the floors and walls that I want in the console it says:
Failed to create Physic model 'model_name' .
but after I created a physic file and a phys_collmap, I get still the error and the model is still dissappeared.
and the strange thing is that custom model imported from another cod game does well work with the PhysicsLaunch function and the custom model doesn't have a physic and phys_collmap, but when I'm trying to use a world at war model then I get the console message with that it failed to create.
also is PhysicsLaunch function required in a level thread instead of thread ? example:
I want that if I'm into a building and the model is falling down, it most not possible that the model is going through the building.
I hope that any one can help me with this problem that will be very great
Why would you not just use MoveTo and make the end position be where you want it to land? Or use MoveGravity and set the amount of time it moves to the amount of time it will take the model to fall down where you want it to fall with the velocity you enter?

thank you for the comment.
I hope that it is so easy but not, what I mean is that if I throw a smoke grenade into a house (kinda of marker grenade to bring something to the smoke grenade) then the position will be into the house but then when the model is falling down it is going through the house
the only problem is that by MoveGravity that the model is going through all surface type of brushes and patches.
and I don't want models going through houses or other things
If you want it to just move in an arch like it is a "throw", you can get an end origin and check out the function "fake_physicslaunch" in _zombiemode_utility. If you want it to bounce, I would consider using a weapon file or something else because yes you can script it but it would take a while to script the physics perfectly.
Pretty sure that launch( x,y,z ); is dependent on a velocity not an origin. Thats all I can help with though haha
okay how does that work velocity ?

okay yeah I have earlier tested with a weapon file but, with the weapon thing is it also going through the ground and houses etc
but I use now triggers to check if the model is touching one of the triggers.

Wait with a weapon file it STILL goes through the floor? Well that means that your house has no collisions or anything which I don't see how exactly that is possible. Can I see the script?

sorry for a late reply, I have tried few more times and now it seems to work with the weapon file.
exactly what my fault is that I don't have setup the weapon file correct and I used a script to throw the model xD but now I use the weapon file to throw it and locate the model then.
thank you for commenting back.
I have a question if I get a problem can I ask you for help if that is possible and when you have time then of course
