What is this chunk?

I've been looking at the Pelican's phmo tag today to see if I could fix the problem with the collision. I noticed that the Phantom and Pelican have this chunk, but no other vehicle/object has it.

Now, what does this chunk do?

Try removing it and see what happens.

Where did you get your plugin from? A lot of the new plugins give me splitIdent errors, both the error box and the entity one.

I did. I'm currently away from my Xbox so I will have to try it out later.

You know whats odd, the "objects\weapons\multiplayer\ball\ball" has that chunk.

I wonder what it could be...

I think you found something, the soccer ball has it too.

It would make sense. Those are both circular objects that have spherical collision. I've heard that the Pelican has a spherical collision in the middle. But it just can't be this simple... I would think someone would have deleted this chunk and tried it already, but I'll give it a go anyway.

I can't delete it in entity, it gives me a .net Error when I add the meta to the map. It doesn't break the map it just gives an error message.

Same here, BUT I didn't use Entity.

Yes that's spherical physics, that plugins you have is obsolete.

Take this on which is mine and is still on "research" so there are a some incorrect value types because i was testing.

http://www.trashalo.hostgratos.net/plugins/phmo.ent

The pelican uses a sphere physic that's why it spins, but it also has physics boxes when its drived for some reason its a sphere when its on the ground and not used, i guess it's useful as rotation axis when flying, even halo 3 still have that xD

I tried to null out the reflexive and remove it but all i got is a black screen, because it's probably linked to something else in the phmo, as the sphere physics are enabled only when the pelican is on the ground.

I tried to modify some sphere physics proprietes but it only made the pelican flip in wreid ways xD
Besides that didn't affected how the pelican fly only how it reacts when landing on the ground.

In Halo 3 it just goes right through the ground.

But do you think deleting it would do the job?

Whenever I mess around with PHMO with the chunk adder, I usually end up freezing the map. I don't think deleting it would do much. Im not stopping anyone from trying though.

No.

Well, it didn't. It just froze.

Because that reflexive must be linked to something else on the phmo i didn't figure out all yet lol.
