-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I solved my problem using collision_groups as follows:
- I make all my bullet traceline calls part of a collision group (COLLISION_GROUP_PROJECTILE) using a tracefilter. - I make my hostage NPC part of a new collision group whenever someone grabs him (COLLISION_GROUP_IN_VEHICLE) - In CSDKGameRules::ShouldCollide, I make new rules for the following intereactions COLLISION_GROUP_PROJECTILE vs COLLISION_GROUP_IN_VEHICLE returns true COLLISION_GROUP_IN_VEHICLE vs "Any other collision group" returns false Now, the hostage doesnt collide with players, but is still able to get shot. I'm not sure if this will help with your trigger problem.. as I'm not exactly sure how triggers get set off, but you could try looking into collision groups. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 6:09 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] FSOLID_NOT_SOLID_SHOOTABLE flag not working.. > I've played with FSOLID flags for some time.
