Model collision

Racer1

Will marine & alien models have one rectangular "box" used for detecting collisions? Or will it be broken up into parts -- for example, one for head, one for torso, and maybe one for each extremity.

Case in point: If there is a hole just big enough for a marine's head in a low ceiling, would the marine be able to poke his head through, but his body would be blocked?

Doing what you described would have its own problems, because the player camera is at head level...would your gun/crosshair be in the hole too? could you shoot?

One big box for collisions* would run faster in the engine as well, and hopefully prevent or limit silly things like getting stuck on the level architecture


*not to be confused with hitboxes, those need to be more detailed obviously
