Fatter projectile

by c-level · in Torque Game Engine · 03/23/2007 (6:12 pm) · 1 replies

How can I make my crossbow projectile bigger, like shooting a basketball instead of a bullet? I don't care about the look of the projectile, I simply want to make it easy to hit the target. (Maybe bigger than a basketball...).

Choosing a big model instead of 'projectile.dts' didn't change it's hit area.
What's the easiest way?

Projectile is hardcoded to only collide using its center, there's no collision detection except for the projectile position -> object collision mesh. Lookit Projectile::processTick for more information. Though it would be easy to bloat it and slow projectile code down if its not done properly. Hope that helps.
