Title: hole in the bridge Nogova
Post by: IanJensen on 13 Jun 2003, 17:26:41

Hey, has anybody found the hole that vehicles fall into on the main bridge on the island of Nogova, the hole is a the east end. IF you look on the map during editing, the end of the bridge is a little out of line of the road.
Anybody know how to stop the vehicles from falling down and getting stuck, as this is messing up my mission build.....

Thanks ;D

You must have quite a powerful computer...  :o

I had the same problem when I used to play with terrain resolution set on either "very high", "high", or "normal".
Set them on "(very) low", and you should have this prob no more...  ;)

Did you also see the vehicles bouncing after going stuck in the ground ? That was quite a sight, really, and I could set T-80s a-flying in no time...

Ah, all the things one can do in behalf of realism !

I do not have this problem and I am running terrrain in high resolution with a powerful computer.  So therefore I just blame it on a  :gunman: bug in the game.

Thanks,
I thought that more people would have had this problem by now. and BIS would have put a bug fix out.
Any way I have fixed the problem (I think), I just use a trigger for that BMP near the hole to [setpos] just past the hole, and you can hardly tell that the tank moved.....
It is a work around, but it would be nice not to have to do it, as other vehicles go down the hole too. If I drive fast enough in the sports car, it will just about jump it, and keep going, but jeeps, trucks etc; well down they go....
Regards

Here is an idea to fix your problem.  Have someone create an addon that is nothing more than an invisible flat rectangular piece about 3X3X1 meter.  Then use the getpos command in the init field when you place the peice in the mission editor so that it sits perfectly level with the bridge in the spot where the vehicles are falling through.  Think of it as a large invisible bridge patch...  The object has to be perfectly flat and solid so that vehicles will not fall through.  Hope this helps...
