The Bounding Box is a simple, rectilinear box that encloses all the Solid parts of a model; ie. its Collision Hull, Hitboxes, etc.
- Any geometry outside the Bounding Box (eg a Viewcone) will be regarded as NotSolid to Bullets, Line of Sight and Solid Objects.
- It is used only for crude proximity tests so that no sophisticated (expensive) collision tests need to be performed against objects which do not enter the Bounding Box.
