The QC command $collisionmodel is used to embed a static collision mesh in a model, for use in VPhysics calculations. Animated models (including one that will become ragdolls) should use $collisionjoints instead.
Warning:Collision meshes should have extremely few polygons. See Collision mesh for examples.
Tip:Set the Console Variable vcollide_wireframe 1 to view collision meshes in-game.Syntax
$collisionmodel <collision mesh SMD> { <options> }
Options
$mass <float|kilograms>- Manually set the mass of the model, in kilograms. Tip:By default, the Player can +USE pick up 35KG max. The gravgun can pick up 250KG max.
$automass- Calculate the mass of the model based on the volume of the collision model and the material defined in its prop_data.
$concave- By default, studiomdl will generate a single convex hull by 'shrinkwrapping' any concavities. You can create a concave hull by including multiple convex shapes (potentially overlapping) in your SMD and passing this command.
$maxconvexpieces <int>- By default, the model compiler limits a concave collision model to twenty convex pieces. This command can be used to override the limit if you are creating an unusually large model.
Note:Introduced with the Orange Box. In the Ep1 engine, run studiomdl with -fullcollide(see below) instead. $masscenter <vector|offset>- Override the center of mass, in local coords.
$inertia <float|scale>- Inertia scale.
$damping <float|scale>- Linear damping scale.
$rotdamping <float|scale>- Rotational damping scale.
$drag <float|scale>- Scales air resistance.
Example
$collisionmodel "tree_deciduous_01a_physbox.smd"
{
$mass 350.0
$concave
}
-Fullcollide in ep1 via batch file
Open a text editor and copy and paste the following code in
@echo on- cd "%sourcesdk%\bin\ep1\bin\"
- studiomdl.exe -fullcollide %1
@pause
Save the text file, for example, as fullcollide.bat (make sure it's really a .bat file and not a .txt file)
After that, place fullcollide.bat into the same folder as your .qc file and drag and drop the .qc file onto the batch file, truncating will be disabled now.
