Caves

[DBR_ONIX]

Is it possible to have caves in OFP?
Like an addon that's a hill, with caves "cut" out it?
It could be cool, having 5 enemy troops run out of cave they've been hiding in, and ambush you..

I think phil commando made a cave, but if not you can use the getpos setpos thingy command (cant remember what its called at the mo  ) on some camera rocks found in the editor update

You have to make it as a specific object. CAT_SHIT also made some caves quite a while ago. But really this topic belongs in a different forum

Hmm, I might have a go at making a simple cave (In trueSpace3) tonight.
If I make a solid rock, and cut out a tunnel bit, and copy/paste it into the geometry LOD (I think, I'll look at tutorial for a static object it check).
You should be able to walk around inside right?

Roadway LOD is the one that determines if you can walk on a surface.

Yeah, I know about the roadway lod, but I mean the one that stops you being able to run though wall ect

I know some sod's who want to throw me through some walls, but I don't know what lod it is that holds them back.

I made a series of caves b4, and trust me, it's no easy task. While it can be done, it most definately will not have the same  effect as if you were just running around. Alot of falling through floors happens and things like that. But well to be honest I suppose it does work fairly well. as long as you do everything correctly, Falling throught floors is kept to a minimum. Well there's my 2 sense.
