| is there any way to retrieve and display the entitybox and entityradius that's been assigned to an object? |
| ||
| No, you have to record them when you set them if you want to retrieve the values used. |
| ||
| Take a million and one little particle decals, fire them at your object from every concievable angle, with collision settings so they stop dead when they hit the bounding hitbox/radius ----------- hmm that was just a joke, but there is potential wiothin the idea.... |
| ||
| yeah well i fire bullets at it to see the outline of the box. it sucks really. i'll post a different question related to this in another thread. |
| ||
| actualy a good question...i have no idea about the answer but ..a good Question.. |

| You could create a sphere or box the same size as the bounding box, set it's EntityAlpha value to something low and parent it to the entity. |

| Hi Folks, I think someone has put up a code snippet for this - check the archives. Later, Jes |

| autobox? i found it didn't work. i'm not sure what it was confused by. i think if the origin wasn't in the middle because you used fitmesh or something, it got confused, but i haven't looked deeply into it. |

| The collision raduis is basically the same scale as the size of a sphere. So if the collision raduis is 1, create a sphere size 1, parent it and put it at the centre of your mesh. |

| You could create a sphere or box the same size as the bounding box, set it's EntityAlpha value to something low and parent it to the entity. That's by far the best way! |
