The Collision Paint tool is used to set an object (TODO: Terrain?) trangle's behaviour upon impact with the player. TODO: What about NPCs?

How To Use

Collision Paint window
Collision Paint window

The Collision Paint window can be accessed in Edit Mode by navigating in the menu bar to Windows -> Collision Paint.

  • View the collision by checking View Collision
  • To paint whatever the cursor hovers over press B
  • To paint the whole object check Per-object
  • To paint per-triangle check per-triangle
    • To only paint the hovered triangle check Don't Spread
    • To paint the hovered triangle and adjacent triangles with the same orientation check Spread across flat surfaces
    • To spread to Triangles with similar orientation on the same object check Spread across similar normals
      • To set the range, move the slider to a value (between -1 & 1) TODO: How exactly does this work? why negative values?
  • To load press Load. Does nothing. TODO: Does it really do nothing?
  • When pressing Save, an error will appear. TODO: Does this really not work?

Configuration

The parameter checked in the lower box will be applied to the triangles by painting.

Floor

  • Slide:

Wall

TODO: add and confirm the effects

  • Wallrun: Allows wall running on those triangles if they're steep enough.
  • No wallrun: Won't allow wall running on those triangles.
  • Ledge:
  • Ragdoll: Character will ragdoll.
  • Ragdoll-death: Character will die.

Ceiling

  • Ceiling:

Unlabled

TODO: Confirm the effects

  • Clear: Will reset to the default collision behaviour. The color of the triangles will be desaturated. TODO:Is the default collision set according to the triangle's steepness? Are the Desaturated colors really just the indication for default collision?
  • No climb: Will make the character walk slower on steep triangles. Will redirect rolls to the slope's direction. Will make the character run downwards automatically if the slope's too steep. Will make the character Run downwards faster. TODO:Phrasing. TODO: Is that it?
    • To paint the 'no-climp' collision to all unlabled triangles, click Apply 'no climb' to all unlabled surfaces
