It's funny you say that Tom E. I was just doing more testing and noticed the models are instances of the same entity, not copies lol. So if I shoot at one, the bullet hole shows up on all the "copies"!
Need to figure out a way to somehow make a copy of the entity instead of just setting the modelname to the same model. Thanks for the insight Tom L. Shall keep you guys updated if I find something, it'd be great if you could continue to throw some ideas around :) On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 4:44 AM, Tom Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am quite surprised. :-p Is it truly dynamic, or is it limited to the > number of hidden brushes you compile into the map? > > > > When you say "Without Physics" do you mean that everything will just > > walk through it? > > > Either that, or the physics collision box will stay the original size. > There must be a way of getting around that though: the simulator accepts > any size of collision model on entity spawn, so surely if you destroyed > the old model and created a new one the correct size it'd work? > > > > Aditya Gaddam wrote: > > Right on Tony P.!
