vehicle collision
« on: April 19, 2009, 08:10:53 PM »
I read a post by wrongway which made me realize that we don't have vehicle collisions. Could anybody explain why. I was just wondering if that is coded in being that the whole collided with airplanes thing is crazy.

Also why is it that we can bump a tree and do nothing but flips but we can run through a gv. Not trying to start a war just wondering why.

IIRC there was a collision model for GV's at one point but it worked miserably so it was turned off.

still...you should be able to collide with enemy GVs.




remember how at 1 point, you could take a jeep drive into an enemy tank and kill the driver.

I mean.. Running over trees and other soft objects would be great, but it probably won't happen for the same reason craters don't happen anymore.

The question becomes what do you wish to happen when 2 vehicles collide?

Gets kinda dicey.....momentum moving of two moving vehicles versus one moving the other not, angle of impacts and weights.....physical properties of various materials involved in ther actual colliding......metal thicknesses, rubber elasticity.......just to mention a few variables.....

Obviously do not need to get that complicated......I rather imagine in the game when one vehicle collides with another the collider should be stopped.  If the collided vehicle was moving it too should be stopped.  Keep it simple.
