LOS - Line Of Sight collision .. help !!!

by Jorgen Ewelonn · in Artist Corner · 03/17/2004 (8:17 am) · 1 replies

Hi, I'm really noobish and all and I have looked and looked all over the place for the info on LOS and LOScol
The result of this search is that LOS is used when dealing with bullets (of guns) and that is about it.

My questions are,
Where and when must I apply this (only to bullets or..) and is it supposed to be a "bounding" box like the Col mesh (the los is the marker right)??


many, many thx in advance ...

I think this is used only for collision of projectiles like bullets or lasers. The LOS is the marker and if your game used bullets you will need the LOScol mesh and it must be convex. It can be any convex shape. It is included with the player models that can be shot not on the bullet itself.
