    Large physics objects disappearing when almost off the srcn?

    When gluing a few objects, then adding placing physics on them...I notice when they're almost off the screen (you pass them or jump off them) they simply vanish.
    This is not for objects too close to the camera, just large glued physics objects.
    Does anyone know how to fix that?

    At a guess

    The object disappears when the pivot centre of the glue object reaches ythe edge of the screen?

    Unless you are rotating The glue group, move the pivot point closer to the front of the screen....

    Might be incorrect

    I tried this and it didn't work....good guess though.
    Also, when the pivot is at the very end, it changes the balance of the object...cause it to stand up on an end, etc.
    I know Elmonator has this down...I may ask him.

    Hi guys, just saw the thread.

    I have had this happen to me as well, but not enough to really make me try to find the solution. I have no idea what the cause is, but like you, I also only experience it with glued physics objects, often large with several pieces.

    Meenies guess was good, would make sense.. But the editor works in mysterious ways sometimes in my experience. Can it perhaps have something to do with the issue that happens sometimes when the cursor is persistently selecting another object than what I try to point it at from glued objects. Like the physics object is somehow corrupted, but still partially operational. I don't think there is anything to it, but hey, I'm just throwing something out there

    I'd love to know what the cause is as well, anyone bright care to enlighten us?

    This will only happen with glued objects to my knowledge. Similar things can happen with your outer walls to if they are all glued. I'm not sure why it happens exactly but to fix it just unglue the pieces. Just make sure to save the group to your favorites before you do that just in case.

    I was actually going to message you on this Elmonator...I guess there is no concrete answer?
    Clutch, you can unglue something...but if it acts as one object, it could be hard to have the physics work well...unless it's one piece. I'm sure you know this already.
