Christian Clavet Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi, I'm using the beta version on steam, using it on Window 10 Home (French) currently. My graphic card is a NVidia GTX 780 I've buyed yesterday the MERC model and tryied it in a quick level made with brushes. I really like it and it's so simple to use it! But I've seen some issues on how leadwerks seem to make NPC "see" in their environment. On the level made of brushes, I had to enter the room where the merc was to see me and then he started to chase. I've exported the map in .OBJ (Great feature!) and imported it in MAX then done a quick bake of lighting and imported it back, mostly to test if the scale/position was not changed in the export/import. Everything worked, I was able to make the collision shape from the tools provided in Leadwerks. Collision is working perfectly, and the map work as before except this: If the brushes are hidden or removed, the NPC will see me immediately and start chasing me (using the NAVMESH to get to me even if I'm behind a door / wall). For Leadwerks the level that has that problem has no brushes and only is composed of static meshes. So if I want to fix this temporary, I will have to create brushes and hide them inside the model, so the NPC`s will not be able to look thru the wall. Doing this will surely decrease the performance.

Rick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 What do you have as the collision type for you level model? I would guess a line of sight pick is done in the script? (I don't have it), so that may be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Clavet Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Collision type is prop. I changed it to SCENE the same as the brushes and now the NPC don't see me when I'm out of the room. Thanks Rick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If you look at this chart you'll see why (my guess). Prop and character collides (which is why you can still walk around), but LineOfSight and Prop do not cause a collision. The enemy NPC is probably doing a pick from it's position to yours with the LineOfSight collision type on it's ray, which doesn't collide with Prop types so it saw right through your model and to you. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/command-reference/collision-r778 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah, basically it is assumed that "prop" means smaller movable items, so we don't want the player to be able to sneak up on AI by picking up a crate or something.
