SSE Collision layers

[TyburnKetch]

I am currently using a couple of meshes that, for one reason or another, do not have collision. I can create collision boxes, for the most part, that can act as the meshes collision, however I can not find the right layer to stop the camera from moving through the mesh. Or clipping as it were.

 

I have stolen collision from another mesh and I am currently using that as an invisible collision solution. This does stop the camera, but it is not a very elegant solution.

 

I have tried numerous layer options on a collision primitive but none seem to stop the camera like a collision used from another mesh does.

 

Am I missing something? Is there a layer I can choose on the primitive tab that would do what I need? Or do I have to add invisible static meshes to everywhere I do not want the camera to clip through?

 

Thanks in advance.

You might try in NifSkope open your nif. If there is a bhkCollisionObject already select it - block-remove branch.

Select a Nitrishape in your nif that sort of outlines where you want the collision to go - Havok - Create Convex Shape. Keep default values. OK.

If show collision is turned on at the top you should see the collision as red lines around your shape.

There now should be a bhkCollisionObject at the bottom.

Then you MUST Spells - Sanitize - Reorder Blocks. That moves that block back up where it should be.

 

This seems to work for simple non-moving statics like a crate whose proportions you changed and want the collision to match..

Thank you very much for this!

 

I searched a while ago about creating basic collision in nifscope, but I missed this info. Took me a while to work out I needed to convert BS to NI to find the havoc setting (I used I nice little application called nifopt) but now I have, and converted back, my custom mesh now has collision.

 

Thanks again.
