Can't click on items to pick them up.

07-17-2004, 02:50 AM

I made some custom items.. and now I can't click on them to pick them up. I can click and drag to highlight them, but when I try and click them to make him pick them up, he just moves to them, and I can't seem to click on them to highlight them, so what's the problem?

Heres a screenshot:

Could it be that my scaling value is 10 or because the armor type is ethereal? I dunno, I've never had this problem before.

th15	Make the selection scale bigger, that might help. You probably should make them ethereal either.

Are you exporting from Milkshape? If so, are you adding a collision shape? You need one. If you don't already have one, you can go about adding one like this:
- Open the exported MDL
- Find the PivotPoints section. Add a new pivot point at wherever you want the collison shape (click-to-select area) to be. The coordinates are listed as { forwards/backwards, left/right, up/down }
- Scroll down to the bottom and add this, changing the ObjectId to (whatever the highest one in your model is) + 1. Change the coordinate to whatever your new pivotpoint is.

Code:

CollisionShape "Collision" {
	ObjectId 1,
	Sphere,
	Vertices 1 {
		{ 0, 0, 0 },
	}
	BoundsRadius 60.0000,
}

HexenLordX	Oinkerwinkle.. you just completely lost me. the original model is extremely small, notice the size of the dragonballs after a scaling value of 10. They all use the same model. So how about I send you a copy of the .mdl and you can fix it for me, it would probably be much quicker that way.

th15	Did you make the model yourself? The game detects what you've clicked on based on the model's collision model

What would be a good coordinates for the pivot point? I tried -50, -50, 3.775 but nothing changed. and how do I find the objectID for the model?

Heres what I put at bottom of my .mdl.

Code:

PivotPoints 1 {
	{ -50, -50, 3.775 },
}
CollisionShape "Collision" {
	ObjectId 1,
	Sphere,
	Vertices 1 {
		{ -50, -50, 3.775 },
	}
	BoundsRadius 60.0000,
}

Nothing changed, though.

Yes I made the model myself.

Here's the end of an example MDL, before and after.

Code:

	Anim {
		MinimumExtent { -39.0094, -45.6624, -0.798131 },
		MaximumExtent { 42.5518, 39.6218, 78.7294 },
		BoundsRadius 59.9154,
	}
	Anim {
		MinimumExtent { -54.7756, -62.0368, -4.06235 },
		MaximumExtent { 55.3742, 45.583, 100.243 },
		BoundsRadius 76.3812,
	}
	Anim {
		MinimumExtent { 3.40282e+038, 3.40282e+038, 3.40282e+038 },
		MaximumExtent { -3.40282e+038, -3.40282e+038, -3.40282e+038 },
	}
	MaterialID 0,
	SelectionGroup 0,
}
Bone "Bone0" {
	ObjectId 0,
	GeosetAnimId None,
}
PivotPoints 1 {
	{ 0, 0, 0 },
}
