To HiTech question about Ports
« on: March 06, 2002, 02:36:19 PM »
Hello HiTech

To me the port shape is sort of flawd.
Not really a big deal but I could be missing something.

If the port shape is set to "can collide", it then can be destroyed by bombs or gun fire.
If "can collide" is not set, then PT boats can pass thru the dock section.
Problems with it even if set as runway or bombable.

The only way I can see is to set "can collide" and then increase the Hardness value or not have the "can collide" set and leave it at that.

Any input would be gratly appreciated

Try make it a runway, and set the can collide. Runways can't be destroyed.

Thanks for the reply HiTech

It doesn't matter what you set it for so far as I can see.  
I can't get it to stop Pt boat from passing thru it while at the same time keeping it from begin destroyed.

Combinations:

Set as Void:
Can Collide on: Pt boat collides, Port is destroyable
Can Collide off: Pt boat doesn't collide, Port not destroyable

Set as Runway:
Can Collide on: Pt boat doesn't collide, Port not destroyable
Can Collide off: Pt boat doesn't collide, Port not destroyable  

Set as Bombable:  
Can Collide on: Pt boat collides, Port is destroyable
Can Collide off: Pt boat doesn't collide, Port not destroyable

Even looked at ndisles.res at field P20
Which the port is not destroyable but also not Pt boat don't collide into the docks.
