Do parachutes have 2 collision models?

[Technical Ben]

I\'m currently adding the finishing touches to a small mod. But I need to know, do parachutes have 2 collision models? One for closed and one for deployed?

If not, it\'s not the end of the world, but I had a great idea if they do allow for 2 modes on one object.

Chutes have a collision model? They go through the ground all the time for me...

[Technical Ben]

Hmmm. Must just be the cone then. I wondered if the chutes hit things too.

I know!

The chute has no collision, only the little cone. I don\'t think you can switch between models.

[Technical Ben]

Ok thanks. I\'ve found a 'workaround' then. I only need to know, how do I seperate the models to work?

I have exported successfully, but when I load, I get it loading with the deployed chutes model.

What do I name them to let the game know which is the chute, and which is the cover?

[Jack]

I\'m pretty sure the game only allows you to have one collision mesh.

[Technical Ben]

Ok, one last quick question needed before I finish up the model. Can I turn off the 'cable' or string to the chutes? I just want them stationary. A shorter string would even work for me.

[Killerhurtz]

You can, by texturing, but making it stationary is impossible as far as I know.

[Technical Ben]

Hmmm. That\'s a problem then. It keeps flipping the model over up side down.

[Technical Ben]

I did it!!! To see what, keep an eye on my update on the Command Pod landing retros! Let\'s just say, I\'ve avoided needing landing legs just yet.
