Hello,

i found a bug at the omega destroyer from The Babylon Projekt,

when the engine is destroyed, the part is gone but there is still the glow of the engine. :confused:


Game engine feature/bug. Go to the Source Code Project forum. Report it there. Thanks. :)

Greetings Schorsch

It actually just indicates a model problem, not a code problem.  The game won't render a glow which is tied to a subobject which is destroyed or disrupted.  That it doesn't work in this case means that the glow isn't setup so that it is properly tied to the engine subobject that gets destroyed.

 
so i have to tell the modeller the problem?

Oh sorry Taylor. I wasn't aware you'd fixed that one. We kind of avoided having engines as destroyable geometry because of this original limitation so it's not something that comes up very often. If there any special way of connecting the geometry subobject to the engine subsystem? Or is it just done by subobject name?
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

AFAIK thrusterglows are always tied to one of the engine subsystems.
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light
