Can this be done?

I have tried and the program just crashes, with no description of any kind.

I have tried changing my code to clone the objects instead, and this works.

The answer seems obvious but can anybody in the know confirm this please???

Thanks.

EDIT: Just to clarify, these are the commands I have used to create the geometry:

phy make static rigid body convex
phy make static rigid body mesh

I know the voices aren't real, but they have good ideas!

Are you creating the static physics geometry before you instance it?

@vorconan

Yeah, like I say I don't think its possible????


Although, if this is the case then it is not very efficient. I need it for my trees, I wanted to load one tree, instance it, then add collisions. To do this I have to use clone object.

you could just use one object, position it, apply physics, position it, apply physics, then instance.....

I'm not 100% sure about this, and I'm not at my machine with DBP on, but I don't think you can create multiple physics geometry with one graphics object?

Although, it is a good idea. I could use a low poly collision object and clone this and exclude it from the render.
