I was thinking, you could make say... a HUGE script zone that take up the entire map. Than put a script on it, the script will than be triggered when someone leaves the script zone (enters blue hell) and it than teleports said person to a location. (to their base?)

Posted here too.

If you go under the "world box" for a map (which isn't actually there) it kills your character anyway.

He means you're supposed to die once under map. But that isn't the case if you're in a vehicle and lagging like mad when in blue hell (hard to exit). Sometimes if you're in blue hell (red in C&C_Islands), you just keep falling and then falling back up to where you helled and the process repeats.

In that case, a massive script zone wouldn't work. The best option is to just implement !killme

For now, I'm able to detect blue hell, but teleporting you out of it is something different. (Possible, but not as easy as just teleporting you). Actually when you are in blue hell you are extremely high above the map (or low, but then you get killed instantly and respawn). I'm still hoping to be able to prevent blue hell though.

Thats an good idea to be honest and I bet I know someone who could get it to work.

But testing it would be hard, re-creating bull hells when you want them is well.. hard to do.

It was much easier than I thought actually. Start a 1p lan game, mod the humvee engine torque to be 10 or 100 times as high as normal (using the edit_vehicle console command or in objects), make sure you can somewhat drive it, buy two and keep driving into the other humvee while pushing it into a corner. Driving into it under an angle seems to make it go somewhat faster.

As for it being a good idea, yes, it would probably detect blue hell, but there are other ways which I tested already and which seem to be working properly too.

I found a good way to reduce the possibility of getting blue hell is to change the vehicle's collision setting in LE from "Kill" to "Push". (Yes, you can still run people over.)

I know of a way, although i may not work.

Edit all the vehicles worldboxes to be more rounded instead of just being a box covering the vehicle (since that's what causes the problem, when they collide. Not quite sure exactally what would happen but it's worth a try is it not?

Or make the vehicles hull into the world box?

Like the APC body is the worldbox of the APC?

No, there's still a square worldbox around the APC. I remember playing a game, we parked one next to the bar, got ontop of the bar and jumped on it and we could stand on nothing over the front of the APC where the front slopes back.

I still don't get what Worldboxes are for (squishing?), Westwood could make it such that you just had to check the collision settings and the vehicle would collide...

I was gonna do this, I always thought that mabey blue hell was the cause of 2 different collsion types colliding one to push and one to kill and it just triggers it. Im probally wrong tho.

Worldboxes are for collisions. Only the mesh itself has the projectile collision setting and that's all. The worldbox has everything else.

So a vehicle without a worldbox would just fall through the ground?

No, if it had no world box the vehicle does not work.
Or, things pass threw it...

Been a long time since I modded vehicles. But i'm pretty sure all the vehicles bones must be inside the world box. Its the wheel bones that prevent it from falling threw the ground. There may actually be "two" boxes, a world box and another one I can't recall the name of, one for physical collisions, another for the vehicle bones, but the practically do the same thing.

The world mesh must be a box, because if it has too many corners, the game begins to have trouble calculating physical collisions. At least this is what I was told on the matter.

There may actually be "two" boxes, a world box and another one I can't recall the name of, one for physical collisions, another for the vehicle bones, but if there is, you have to have both, and they both have to be cubular.

The point of the boxes is that they are easy (relatively) to check collisions with. Mesh collisions are harder and require more cpu time.

The push/kill thing is interesting, I have little experiance with them, what do those settings actually do? Kill the other object when colliding / pushing the object away when colliding? Push actually works better than kill (in not getting blue hell that is)?

Viking, You don't even enter blue hell if you get killed in it, then you just respawn directly. It is a form of blue hell (the same bug probably) but it isn't seen as such.

how bout a speed detector, that if you are going faster than posssible in renvehs you die.
for helicopters you can really make a slightly more complex worldbox that is thinner at the tail.
the other box ithink is called a bounding box.

what if someone made a veh, exported it without its worldbox, then exported the worldbox seperately, and then used a script to make it have the exact coords of the veh, then if it goes flying further than 5m away from the veh its deleted and another is created and attached to the veh coords.

Someone needs to just export a vehic like the humvee with no world/boundin box and see what happens in game?

Make a new script that detects if a vehicle continues to go in a certain direction for so long that it will destroy it (this would be attached to the vehicle).
