Hi, I have a problem when passing objects from the viewpoint to the atmosphera. I make a building in 3ds Max, I export it to mtx with the viewpoint exporter for 3ds max 4, later in the atmosphera I import it like object viewpoint. Until there, all well, but when I see it in the player, if collide this disabled I can enter to the building and to move for inside, but crossing the walls. Now, if I activate the collide, it doesn't allow me to enter to the building or to walk for inside.
Does somebody know as I can solve it?
From already thank you

Hi alejandro ( o hola, por si hablas español )

Attach this JS script to your Viewpoint Object in Builder to provide detailed collision:

this.gravPref = player.ignoreGravityPreference;
this.gravSett = player.forcedGravitySetting;
player.ignoreGravityPreference = true;
player.forcedGravitySetting = false;
if(this.type == "ViewpointObject")
{
this.timestep = function(n, d)
{
if(this.loaded)
{
this.pm = this.createPhysicalModel(0);
this.pm.collide = true;
player.ignoreGravityPreference = this.gravPref;
player.forcedGravitySetting = this.gravSett;
removeAnimator(this);
}
}
addAnimator(this);
}

Hope this help you

Hola, Apkalus. Desde ya muchas gracias por haberme contestado.
Mira, hice una prueba con el script que me pasaste y no hay caso, no hay manera de que pueda caminar por adentro del edificio con el collide activado. Tambien probe con el script bounds.js y no pude.
El tema es que yo hago un edificio en 3D studio, lo exporto directamente a mtx con el exportador de viewpoint para 3ds, despues lo importo como objeto viewpoint en Atmo y despues lo publico. Cuando quiero caminar por adentro del edificio sin el Collide activado me deja, pero donde activo el collide no hay manera, choco y no me deja pasar.
Si queres y tenes mail, te puedo mandar el archivo para que lo veas.

Gracias nuevamente y saludos.

In a related topic - I have an animated VPO (a door), the detailed bounds script is attached as detailed above. This is fine when the door is closed, as obviously you should not be able to walk through, but when it is open, you still cannot go through - is there a way of dynamically adjusting the bounds script based on the state of the VPO?

There does not seem much expertise in this area. A workaround could be to have an open and closed invisible door with collision-with no collision on the visibile door.

Preach have you tried several instances?

Let me throw this reminder into the mix . . .

It is possible to create separate physical models for individual Viewpoint Instances. If you have a complicated scene, it might be worthwhile to do this. For example, furniture could use a convex collision model for efficiency and be mobile, while architecture would need a more detailed, fixed model (e.g. zero mass).


myVPObject.createConvexPhysicalModelForMTSInstance(instance, mass);
and


myVPObject.createPhysicalModelForMTSInstance(instance, mass);
To see this technique in action, see the Adobe pool table demo. All the balls are in one scene, but each is given a separate physical model.


Thanks Ben! Thanks ErikC!
