"Hit Boxes" on custom objects - not being recognized

[+WTRAdmin 471]

Gents / All,

 

Could use a little help.  On a few custom models, when weapons such as bombs, rockets, etc. strike the model, the game is not registering a "hit".  And therefore, not displaying the destroyed .lod file.  We have set the armorvalue and damagepoints to 0 and used a stock destroyed .lod to validate, but the destroyed .lod never appears.  Any ideas on why that would be happening?

Does the model_DATA.ini have:

 

[GroundObjectData]
DamagedModel=
DestroyedModel=Tank_Destroyed.LOD     <---------- This entry
DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect

 

or

 

Is the model in the terrain_types.ini?

 

[TargetType001]
Name=barrack1
FullName=Barrack
ModelName=barrack1.lod
TargetType=BUILDING
ActiveYear=0
TargetValue=20
UseGroundObject=FALSE
DamagePoint=10.0
ArmorValue=0.0
ArmorType=0
RepairRate=0.150
StartDetectChance=0
StartIdentifiedChance=0
IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0
MaxVisibleDist=8000.0
DamagedModel=
DestroyedEffect=MediumShortStructureCollapse
DestroyedModel=barrack1_destroyed                   <---------- This entry
SecondaryChance=25
SecondaryEffect=SmallExplosionEffect

im assuming you have set collision co-ords and min max extents also...?

 

from my mig21 data.INI...

 

MinExtentPosition=-0.60,-6.12,-0.66
MaxExtentPosition= 0.60, 0.19, 1.06
CollisionPoint[001]= 0.00, 0.74, 1.06
CollisionPoint[002]= 0.00, 0.74,-0.60
CollisionPoint[003]= 0.60, 0.74, 0.00
CollisionPoint[004]=-0.60, 0.74, 0.00
CollisionPoint[005]= 0.00,-6.12,-0.49
CollisionPoint[006]= 0.00,-6.12, 0.49
CollisionPoint[007]= 0.49,-6.12, 0.00
CollisionPoint[008]=-0.49,-6.12, 0.00

Don't forget that after SF2: North Atlantic came out naval objects need a collision LOD.

Appreciate you taking time out to offer your suggestions!  This was for a terrain_types.ini building/factory object.  I believe we have resolved the error, but just need to run a few more tests to confirm.  Strangely enough, it appears to have been related to a DamagePoint entry being set too high...but still need to validate!
