View Full Version : Feet sticking through ceiling.

There seems to be a problem with feet
showing through the ceiling. Bots tend to shot at the ceiling, and are able
to kill the players upstairs. It's also very unrealistic because you can see when someone is walking above you. (That ceiling is over16 units thick) One of the INF guys mentioned that it was a problem with the game, but I diden't see it in the patch list.

Yeah, in my mapping experience 16 units is about a foot, but at 32 it doesn't have that problem, but actors tend to show up through surfaces that are thinner than 32, occasionally even then, and since the player is an actor it applies as well, and the reason you can shoot through the ceiling is because of the fact you can shoot through walls in INF, this is also why when someone is standing near a window you can occasionally see their whole body...very odd but it happens.

Actually Gabriel, the surface is 34 units to be exact. When I say 34, I’m referring to the smallest unit on the grid, (1)
One of the INF developers said it was a problem with the game, and was going to be fixed. By the way, how do I run this map in the plain old Unreal-TU, to test this? It will not run, and I have no idea how to change the ini files. I just want to see if it happens in Tournament?

The reason the pic doesn’t work is probably becouse File-Planet has a special Syntex I think it’s called, you need to type in place of (WWW)

For example, if you have a picture on a CGI server, you need to replace the (WWW) With (fp)

EX: http://fp.beutifulchick.jpg.

However, CGI changed that Syntex once again, and doesn’t usually give it out to people, I would try asking File Planet what theirs is.

What was the picture?

Don't worry I used another one, because everyone seemes to not be able to see it.

It is just a pictured used by moderators to mark thread which have been offfcially added for the weekly update

Well I was able to get around the problem by modifying the floor, in some of the arias that were thinner in some parts of the room.

Floor is also now 38 units thick to be on the safe side.
Unfortunately if took away from the look I was shooting for, but that will just be another venture. :)
