The grenade doesn't use the bounding box to collide either. It uses its center point.
(I can't see the pics mind you) but remember, hl deals with bounding BOXES. And they're Axis aligned. So from some angles, they won't line up properly. You'll have to do your own collision detection if you need precise things, such as spheres. omega Blackened Interactive - http://www.blackened-interactive.com Wavelength - http://www.thewavelength.net > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roachfood <www.the-coming.com> > Sent: June 23, 2003 7:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Fw: Re:origin / collision problem > > the grenade in HL is pretty small and it has collision detection... so i > dunno about the size of it... but "nice" numbers seems like a good idea :) > > roachie > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeroen "ShadowLord" Bogers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 4:56 PM > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Fw: Re:origin / collision problem > > > > I might be wrong here, but that ball looks really tiny. > > > > Could it be possible that HL rounds the collision boxes to make it > easier > to > > work with them?
