Custom collision map Nifskope

[xBloodTigerx]

I cant seem to find a decent video or tutorial on how to make a custom collision map for fallout 4.

 

By "decent" i mean by being able to learn how the collisions work nifskope

 

 

for example:

there is a wall with a hole, i want the hole to be solid except the hole.

if i were to shoot at the wall the bullet would be blocked, fired upon the hole not

 

 

if anyone happens to know, please tell me

 

thanks.

You don't.

You don't.

?

You do not make decent collisions in nifksope for this game.

[xBloodTigerx]

i made an example up top, is that possuble?

Unless you're going to make it up out of collisions from other objects, you cannot do that in nifskope.

even with jury rigging collisions in nifskope, unless you have a window or hole the size you want in some other mesh you won't be able to do it.

if you want info on how to export and import collisions from one mesh to another you can find an amazing tutorial in the tutorial sticky in the mod talk section. You would need 2013 3ds max to make new collisions. It isn't like mesh editing where you can move a vert manually in nifskope, you'll be working blind with collision and you can not alter it like you can a mesh for fo4. There might be a way to manually change the values in the export/import function but you'll be working in the dark.

The absolute horrible way to do the example above (and I admit that I've done this just to get it out of the way quickly, yet temporarily), would be wipe (in Nifskope) the collision from the wall, replace with collision planes, cubes, etc with appropriate collision layers, in the Creation Kit.

 

Another better way, like Ethreon stated, would be to wipe the collision of the example object and copy collision data from other objects (using Nifskope) and place them appropriately into your example object.

 

There is a simple tutorial by JuJuguppy about copying collision somewhere in the Mod Talk forums.

maybe someone should export a ton of basic collison shapes at different dimensions and scales. including ones with holes. put them all in simple nifs with nothing much going on. then work without the mysterious 3ds max 2013 by using this pack of nifs users can just download , do copy and paste from the variety of "templates".
