Physics need editing

[SpiderMack]

Hi,

I have a model and i needed to rotate and resize the physix shape.

But it's not possible in Skyline

Only translation is available, did i miss something ?

The physics shapes are created based on the scale of a model.

In your particular case, you might be better off using the character controller as its capsule is adjustable and can be aligned to the horizontal axis.

I'm not sure if in Skyline is possible, but the way I was used to work was using two meshes, one for physics (which is invisible) and another one for visuals. Then I attach the visuals to the physics and try to move it with forces.

In your specific case you can have a cube mesh, which can be spawned and transformed by a script several times to cover all the parts of the spaceship, and make them collidable... at least that's how I would approach it. That's what I do for static meshes (scenery) but not sure if it would work with dinamic rigidbodies.

I have thought about hit boxes on my player character, the way I have thought about it is attaching basic geometry in places of legs, arms, chest and head, when they detect a collision and that collision is a bullet then the one(s) that detect the hit calls the players script and reduces the health of a player dependent on where the player is hit.

The pony problem I have faced on this is the player gets hit when shot in the space between the legs.

Using your space ship example you could place them where sub-systems are on that space ship and disable a part of it when it gets damaged xx percent. without effecting the overall health of the space ship if you wanted it that way, say engine is hit and knocked out but the rest of the ship is at 100%.

I don't know how this would work using the visual mechanics but using hit boxes is possible.
