The reason why your legs stick out of the wall if you hide in a corner

EA should atleast reprogram them so the hitbox doesn't have any effect if damage is implied during that glitch.

Or maybe they can fix their terribly unoptimized game engine so they could actually make the soldiers collision mesh effectively be the BODY of the person and interect properly with static objects?

that would lag like crap

the collision mesh is only for static objects, the actualy model is what the bullets are lookin for (don't need a model around that - just some numbers to calculate).

So that big jewel box isn't what to aim for - it's what can't go through static objects. Because of the dynamic nature of this mobile (the soldier) collision mesh, it is necessary to have it at a VERY low poly level. This is because the closer you get to a static mesh in BF2, the more calculations are done.

This is why the ESSEX is like 3 or 4 different collision models in one, in order to ensure that the calculations don't get too large for something getting close to the front of the carrier. This way, the back of the carrier won't be included in those calculations

how did you figure that out? did you extract some files or what?

You probably did not see the piscture in the first post. sometimes it takes a while to load.

I get those using bf2 editor.

o but of course
never thought of that
i really gotta learn that stuff....

Yeah I've made a few guilty kills by shooting peoples exposed legs.

Yeah, same here... doesn't feel like a legit kill eh? I wonder if there's a way they can program it so that anything proned against a wall perpendicularly will bend their legs or something (i.e collapse into the wall rather than go through them). Then again, we should stop making such suggestions, and work on having EA and DICE fix the damn thing once and for all- returning the game to it's once un-nerfed, un-boosted, and un-bug-infested state.

I wish they would just fix it, since its been around since BF1942.

meh..its been around in a ton of games...i remember killing ppl in CS 1.5 cuz their arms popped thru walls.

legs arent the only things that pop thru, ive shot someone in the head cuz it was clipping thru the walls.

Haven't we all? :p

This is why many times I kneel instead of prone while hiding in a corner.

Damn I never knew my belly could do so much..

I knife the legs. Fun, lol.

I never go in the corner. I go in enough to prevent this.

Brr...I don't want to think about trying to program some of that stuff. Went through a crash course of physics for games, most of its is simple and can be done readily. But yes, the higher the number of polygons thecalcuation goes up. Though watching the physics in the game blow up would be awesome, I'd say crouch instead of proning when next to a wall.

thats why sometimes you kill yourself firing an AT round over some railing only to explode yourself because your belly wasn't above the railing.

that always makes you feel like an idiot. No enemies around, except for the tank facing the other direction.

And you kill yourself.

Re: The reason why your legs stick out of the wall if you hide in a corner

i just squat rather than lie down if im hiding in a corner that why i dont stick out.

Even if it was made so you couldnt be shot in your exposed legs it wouldn't really matter because it would still give away your position.

Re: The reason why your legs stick out of the wall if you hide in a corner

I never lie in a corner because of this problem. I always stand or stay away from the wall enough to avoid this issue. No one killed me from behind a wall because of this so far, but I did it with others many times.

It seems that they cannot make a dynamic mesh that changes shape accordingly.

If that model is to go by, then wouldn't your arms stick through too?
