HL2 Model Boundary Box

[couto_607]

Well, I successfully created and compiled my edited model for TF2, but for some reason the boundary box is huge... I really don't know why it's doing this to me:

This is the QC:

$modelname "props_trainyard/red_bomb_cart.mdl"

$model "Body" "red_bomb_cart_ref.smd"

$cdmaterials "models/props_trainyard/"

$hboxset "default"

// Model uses material "red_cart_bas.vmt"

// Model uses material "red_cart_crates.vmt"

// Model uses material "red_cart_dis.vmt"

$surfaceprop "default"

$illumposition -1.390 0.000 22.614

$sequence idle "idle" fps 30.00

$collisionmodel "red_bomb_cart_phys.smd" {


	$concave

	$mass 11093.6

	$inertia 1.00

	$damping 0.00

	$rotdamping 0.00

}

The original QC had this extra line, which I got rid of because I was getting some errors when compiling:

$hbox 0 "static_prop" -63.532 -30.833 -26.812 60.752 30.833 72.039

Any ideas how I can fix the box? Does it have anything to do with the Collision model or something?

Thanks.

I don't have enought experience at Source compiling models but I don't mind that it's adviced to use decompiled .qc ! Try make your own and to understand how it's work. Moreover check how many physbox you made with your "red_bomb_cart_phys.smd" and try to reduce its at 20. Good luck !

Make sure that:

- every shape in the collision model is a seperate editable poly

- each of these shapes / edit polys has a unique smooth group applied to it (eg if your collision model has 7 boxes then each one should have a seperate unique smooth groupbetween 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

- each box in the collision model has the model's texture applied to it (or at least a material with the same exact name as the one you had applied to your original model when you exported your SMD's

- each box is tied to the model's bone

Here is an example of one of my QC files that I know will work, assuming that you have made and exported all your files correctly.

$modelname model_directory\model_name.mdl

$cdmaterials models\model_directory

$body "Body" "model_name_ref.smd"


$scale 1.0

$staticprop

$surfaceprop "Metal"



$sequence "idle" "model_name_idle" fps 30


$collisionmodel "model_name_phys.smd"

{

  $concave

}
