Cry Engine 3 Geom Entity Question

p_drawhelpers 1 and check the collision for the asset.

If for some reason that asset doesn't have collision, you can just create a solid and assign a collision material to it, it wont be rendered ingame.

Maybe more information would help:

If I understand well your entities become physical when you step on them and you don't want that to happen?

Are you using custom models or stock ones? How are you adding them? From the title of the post, I'm guessing they are geometric entities. Have you tried using Brushes instead?

Or are you using an archetype entity from the game? Because those are usually RigidBodies which are made to become physical on impulses.

Maybe post a screenshot of the settings of one of these entities you're using

Or is your phrasing wrong and HP answered your question? Maybe you didn't export the mesh with collisions (check Physicalize in the material editor before exporting)

Cheers

uses brushes to add static models.

- BRUSHES:

Brushes are compiled geometry containing no extra data other than collision.

Typically, most levels are created with brushes as they are simple geometry.

- ENTITIY:

Entities, which the player can interact with in some form.

- ARCHETYPE ENTITIY:

An Archetype entity is based on a regular entity and specifies individual parameter

values for that regular entity. The main advantage of archetypes is that if the value of an

archetype parameter is changed, all instances of that archetype in the level will be updated

automatically.

- GEOM. ENTITY:

When objects are placed as Geom entities and it have user-defined properties

(discussed later), they become interactive entities with physical values, so they can behave

like real-life objects. It is similar to a basic entity, but simpler, more efficient, and has fewer

configurable parameters.

- PREFAB:

Prefabs are groups of objects that can be placed in the level as instances similar to archetype

entities. Altering one prefab universally applies the changes to each instance of the prefab

object.

got that from the CE3 cookbook. Maybe this brings some clarity

which subway pieces are you using? :3

Quote from Rick_D

which subway pieces are you using? :3

keep in mind, you can use vis areas to block out the time of day influence. it looks like you're getting shadows casted by the sun on those pillars.

Yes, use viz-areas to have interiors only! Just create a huge area that encompass all your level and be done with it. (Although you can go advanced and can connect one viz-area to another with a portal, tutorials soon hopefully )

Oh fuck yeah, we had loads of fun working on those subways! LD is from chris, the set pieces are from Tim B and level art from me!

lol

wish id of made um modular now, ran outa time

You may want to place an Actor:LocalPlayer node and connect its output to all those red inputs (Choose Entity), that'd be a start Chances are the nodes actually work but since you haven't told them to act on the player, they won't do anything.

Just FYI, there are nodes that will take the local player as input by default if you don't link an entity to them, for instance almost all of the debug nodes and some hud/image nodes too I think, but it's good rule to always link the localplayer to those nodes anyway, so you don't forget it when it's required It's usually nodes that could be used on AI too that require an entity, such as the Inventory one you're using. You can use it on AI, or any player, so you have to specify it. The stuff that shows things on the screen (debug for instance) is usually linked to the player by default, because you don't want to display those on the AI's screen
