SOLVED POBJECTS fall through the ground when restarting the session.

[Dragonsteam37]

Hey,

I made some cones in 3dsmax that I want to use as movable/collidable objects on my new track in Assetto Corsa. First i just named the cones: AC_POBJECT_CONES_(NUMBERED). I tried it in AC and it worked, they were collidable and moved when hitting them. But when I pressed restart session some went back to their original position and some fell through the track. After trying it a few more times some always randomly fell through the ground, sometimes 2, sometimes 3,.. Then i looked at a track made with RTB to see how RTB makes these POBJECTS. They have a invisible collider around the cones linked (parent) to the cones. After using this method to make my cones collidable/moveable they again worked in game but some still fall through the ground but actually way less which i find kind of weird. Is that just how it works that some POBJECTS always fall through the ground when restarting the session or is there a way to fix that? Thanks in advance!

Thanks again for all the help from you guys here.. makes it so much easier and more fun!

where is your pivot point or origin for these objects ?
placing it at the bottom of the object might help. but not sure.

I just tried placing it at the bottom. Now they move differently but still same thing, some just always randomly fall through the ground :/

well, I'm out of ideas man !

What is the poly count of your movable objects ?
For any type of collision physics, it's recommended to keep the poly count to a minimum.

Should you need higher poly count, then use the hierarchy linking (basic shape, named AC_POBJECT_blabla), and high(er) poly named whatever you want, since it's just graphical. Then make the high poly a child to the AC_POBJECT_).

Also, make sure, the origin is above ground (you never know) .

Otherwise, your poles look very nice ! Good work !

I made the collision physics like you said and put the pivot/origin to middle of the object so it can actually fall over. But even if i put the cones like one meter above the ground some keep falling through the ground after reseting the session. Thanks for your help!

Hmm.. then maybe something wrong with the surface ?
What is the name of the road ?
Does the car has any problems ?
Are all the normals pointing up for the road ?
Are all the normals "normal" for the pole collision ?

Also, have you checked the logs ? Any errors there ?

I just tried it on Silverstone from kunos and even there some fall through the ground

Ha !
Then it means it's an engine issue. Maybe report it on official forum ?

Okay will do that. Thanks!
