Making Collider meshes invisible?

Postby bnewton81 » Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:18 am

Having an issue making my collider meshes invisible. Like i have a mesh that is 7000 verts and of course i don't want to use triangle mesh collision on it, so i used a 16 vert. tube as a collider. But, even though the collider mesh is set to ztraspant or alpha 0 (I've tried both. Together and separately) it still reflects light when rendered.

You mustn't make colliders like that. Colliders and visible objects are different in Plasma, even through a visible object can have collision.
You must make your mesh (don't bother adding it a material), set it's collision type, and add this property in the logic panel:
string type collider
You can of course make you mesh wireframed in Blender if you want

Thanks for the help, but I'm not sure if that answers my question.

Works for me.
No material, and add this property in the logic panel:
string type collider

There should be nothing to render.
