I was trying out collisions groups for my spawned entities and the energy ball from the combine rifle, and none of them were working, but collision groups seem to have an effect on regular nades. Groups of 5, 8 and some others let the grenade and the player collide. Which is awesome!
The problem is that the grenades seem to hurt me on the other side of the panels I am spawning. Is this something that would do with collision groups too? Suppose I shall poke around a bit more in the grenade code... Thanks for the help so far Jay and Steve. - Aditya On Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 1:02 PM, Jay Stelly <[email protected]> wrote: > If you are using the frag grenades from hl2 they use collision groups to > specifically disable collisions between their physics objects and other > objects (NPCs for example).
