I made a simple tunnel I will use to create some tunnels in the game, but need to figure out how to make it hollow first so someone can walk through it. You can only walk directly up to it, and not into it, I need to be able to walk through it. I've done this before with open-roofed terrain, but this object won't work for some reason.

Here is the .x, .ms3d, and .fpe. Can anyone shed some light?

My best guess is that you will have to take it to segment editor and make a hole in it so it can be intreperted by the game engine.

I don't remember exactly how it's done, but look in the video tutorials of the segment editor and you'll find it out. It's used in making doors.

I'm pretty sure I know everything. Doubts are something rare in me and I am never wrong, as this signature can prove.

I saw that for making a tiled segment... but they are too small...

I am looking to bring in one chunky multilevel entity object. Like one modeled in Cshop or 3dWorld Studio. Maybe I will ask over there!

could you use several of the hole things? If not, I'm pretty sure your able to resize them... can't remmember how though.

When FPSC gets good enough, lets make a Redwall game!

use the poly one, but if your going to have a very big object...its going to KILL your frame rate.

for one small object like mine, it wasnt a problem, but when i did one of my space ships, it brought it down to like 10fps...

i cant imagine what anything bigger will do...

The only way I have gotten around this personally with large objects is to make a large object as two pieces and place them correctly together as one in editor. A closed object prevents player movement within with the box col on whereas one that is not completely closed does not so it seems with me at least.

Easy enough to do with symetrical or mirrored shapes but not with irregular ones as its difficult to match up the two parts quite obviously.

Hmmm.. interesting... so if I take off the roof and stitch it back on later, I might be able to get away with it?
