***** Static Mesh's ***** Help a poor fool out...

[legacy-Kzzz]

I have a problem. Some of my Static Mesh's I create are "solid" and others I can walk through. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a way to fix it? I tried fiddling with the properties but nothing seemed to work.

Example: I pulled the rocket launcher out of "WeaponStaticMesh.RocketLauncherPickup" package and made it a decoration in a large room. I was able to walk through it. Then from the same package I set a large RedeemerMissle and it was solid.

I've noticed about 3/4's the static mesh's I place in my room are walk through - ?

I appreciate anyones help.

2nd Question:

Do you know how to get to your map from the actual game, lets say if you are hosting a Lan server, is there a way to pull up your map? Do you have to code it for a particular gametype or put it in a certain folder?

Thanks in advance.

For your meshes you need to make collision.

2nd question

depending on your game type you need to name your map with the right formating

example

dm-mymapnamehere
ctf-mymapnamehere
ons-mymapnamehere

and so on

Can you explain to me how to do this?

- thanks for you help answering my other question.

Depending on which gameplay your maps set for use the proper tage, in front of the name of your level.

DM-
CTF-
ONS-
VCTF-

DM is deathmatch
CTF is capture the flag
ONS is onslaught
VCTF Vehicle Capture the flag

For the collison that I posted above just click on it its a link to a tutorial on the UDN site.

Also one other thing about collison if you have a really simple mesh like something thats pretty boxy. You can use the collision tool. Its in the static meshes browser window.
