as a side note i never said it DID use a bounding box =P i just said it has collision detection. woooo covered my bases there! So I didnt look... like... an.... idiot.... doh nevermind...
thanks for the info tho :) roachie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony "omega" Sergi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 6:57 PM Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Fw: Re:origin / collision problem > 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.
