Title: Invisible collisions.
Post by: [Sg]ShotGun on November 27, 2006, 12:44:06 AM

While attacking the radar instalation, my right eng (38) conked out with the prop all bent. I got the sound that I hit somthing, but what?? If I hit a building, would it not take the wing than bend the prop??  This happens alot when I attack the radar install.  :cry

Even when you destroy a structure in AH, it is still there. You're most likely colliding with the antenna, even though you can't see it.

Ya shoulda seen my face the first time i did that... My squadies were taking a V field and it was almost dont I was stffing about in a Yak doing low passes and rolls then all of a sudden

It has happened to be a few times as well.  I thought it was a bug in the radar tower destruction modeling.  I assume I have bent the prop on a few buildings as well, but when they are down, the overall frame of the building still remains and makes it easier to avoid.  The radar tower, when destroyed, is completely down.  As a result, your flight path looks clear and then BANG you hit the "shadow" of the previously standing antenna.

Come to think of it... same thing happens when driving a GV across a gun emplacement that has been destroyed.  The gun pad is empty, but sure as you try to drive across it, you hit an invisable solid object and come to an abrupt halt; thereby, ramming your cartoon face through the windshield becuase you neglected to wear your seatbelt.:lol In fact, I think you should get a GV pilot wound when you hit objects like that at full speed.

:D

Flying through the flames of destroied building will do the same some times

yeah, there are structures that can be hidden by the flame, especially the radar tower!

Now Im a little curious, collusions with invisible destroyed objects is a bug?  All field objects that Ive checked still have the same physical model as the original object.  The other night I was landing on hangers, then destroying them, and watching my plane sit on top of the invisible roof.

It's been that way for a loooooooonnnggg time...So long that I though there was a technical reason it had to be that way, lmao.
