I just need an info whether SOLID_BBOX works correctly or uncorrectly as SOLID_SLIDEBOX.

Have you tried to recreate the entity on rotation or respawn it, will fix the rotation

I really need model and hitbox rotation, I can't figure it out. It's kinda tricky for me. I have a box and need to rotate it like being sloped.

thanks for bumping this, would've never found it otherwise, this is great stuff

basically you have to edit your model for this to work, either by changing some bits with HEX or just recompile model with a flag, see older posts for explanation

also entity needs to be SOLID_BBOX for it to work, and large size initially

gladius

Ok just to be sure. I need to edit model with those changes you explained me. After that, I should rotate it with no more stuffs than angles? (since size won't work for sloped rotations).

Thank you

Thank you

you can try with helicopter model provided in previous pages first to see if u can do the scripting part first

gladius

My plugin works great with helicopter, but I don't know how to patch or add that flag into my models :/

@gladius did you try online hex editors?

gladius

Sorry, I didnt response earlier. I already got it and works fine.

I'm Just curious with another question not 100% related with topic, if its possible when an entity is spinning (rotating around their axis) then a player standing above it should spin too. But I can't get it working, only if I set origin after each frame.

Your question deserves a new topic.
