items falling through each other | Forums

so ive just started making levels on trials Evo, and came across a weird problem yesterday.

i set up a couple of logs to ride across on my level, a vertical log with a horizontal half log laid across it, with physics enabled to use it as kind of a see saw to reach a higher platform. i tested it a whole bunch of times, and it worked exactly how i planned it to.

hours later after adding more stuff to the track, i decided to run back through the course again from start/finish. only now when i approach the logs, the horizontal log actually falls through the vertical log when i get close to it (actually at exactly the same point every time) almost like it has no hitbox. it always stops when it hits the next vertical log (i have a few stacked on top of each other) and then when i drop off the edge to land on it, the log falls further, but only when i get closer to it. i didnt change any of the settings on it, so why is it doing this now?

i even tried deleting all the logs and resetting them all up in case, and i still get the same result. i also tried changing a bunch of settings like the hitpoints and friction of the top log and nothing is working. anyone know why this is happening and how i can fix it?

i would check to see if you have decoration only set or maybe one log is getting physics activation from the physics bubble before the other, if so the latter will be set to decoration until it hits the physics bubble, try turning on the visual aid in the physics bubble object and see if you can spot when its activated.

for a better explanation check out the video in this thread.
