another humble request from your favorite guy to mess with things he shouldn't
i'd like for this to be possible; right now you bounce of the submodel representing the shield (yes i know the effect is too strong yet)


much work? i can think of many situations where it could come in handy (holographic rotating displays etc.)
or am i too stupid to find a solution that already exists?

Well, there's no such subsystem flag but there's a submodel property you can use.

ooooooooooooooooooooh
cool
thanks

consider this problem dealth with...

Note that that submodel property only affects ships that are smaller than the ship that has a $no_collisions submodel. If a cruiser with a shield submodel like that rams a destroyer, collision detection just treats the smaller ship as a sphere and doesn't even check for submodels. I haven't tested what happens when two identical ships collide.

that could complicate things, thanks for letting me know
