I am having trouble instancing an object and setting the instanced object to sc_objectcollision. Can someone help? Here is the code:



Thanks for the help

This comes from a bug in DBP (or a limitation). You can't use make mesh from object on instances. I had to make a replacement command for NGC for it to be able to work with instances. I love NGC's open include file system. You can modify it however you wish to make almost anything possible. The only way I can think of to get it to work with sparky's would be:



Or just use clones.

That's how I do it with instances.

Here are my actual functions for it. These are replacement commands for Instance Object...

Doesn't DBP treat cloned or instanced objects at seperate entities? So would this be just as well as using clone or instance:



It's a shorter piece of code, but if yours is better for performance, then I will go with that.

Thanks for the help!!!

I don't understand why you would do that. You're loading the same object over and over again, which is very slow. Also, you're not using instances, which is the whole point of this.

Clones objects are real objects, exact copies of the original. Instanced objects are tied to their source object.

LiTs code would work in your game. The code I gave you were functions to use in place of the command "Instance Object" for use with Sparky's DLL. They are the functions that I use currently.
