try to simplify it for a dumb person like me

adrientd

Because it's not just stored as a 3D model.

mr.rubinshtein

its topology is used as well as collision?

mr.rubinshtein

am i right?

pegperegogaucho

No

pegperegogaucho

Collision in Asterix only has a mesh for where Asterix can stand and each edge can have a "Wall" that stops him from crossing it, this wall is always vertical and goes straight up meaning the top vertices align with the bottom ones on the x and y axis (assuming z is height)

adrientd

yup, here is some quick illustration in made in mspaint :ArtChamp:

adrientd

Collision model consists of three primitives: - ground, that Asterix can walk on, which is just a triangle, taking 3 vertices - finite wall, taking 2 vertices for the wall's base, and 2 numbers for the height (extending vertically from each vertex) - infinite wall, same finite wall, takes 2 vertices, but has no heights, instead it's assumed to be extended vertically infinitely

mr.rubinshtein

okay i see it more or less

adrientd

Note that, you cannot for example make a wall out of ground triangles, the game will fail to detect, you have to use the wall constructs

mr.rubinshtein

owwwwwww now i got it

mr.rubinshtein

thanks a lot this was very well illustrated and explained

mr.rubinshtein

so that means that there needs to be separate "walls" that will play the roles of collision and will calculate it the way you will set it up

mr.rubinshtein

and it needs to be exclusively quads to work out

mr.rubinshtein

because walls can be set to a specific height by connecting from A to B or they can have a hypothetical end somewhere where they connect and create infinite wall

pegperegogaucho

Yup

pegperegogaucho

Wall importing is definitely a milestone in XXL modding

adrientd

Note that that way limits how you can make walls, like if you want to make a triangle-shaped wall, you need to be creative using quads to form a triangle
