Amazing Inaccessible Logs

[kobnach]

I'm used to the problem where one chops a tree, and the logs fall such that one cannot use them without chopping another tree. What I have now is a little different.

I chopped a tree and, I think, moved the logs onto the paved area beside an part built house. It's possible they fell there. I can see them, I can click to interact with them. But as with the ones that land on another tree, I can neither lift nor saw them.

jorb can you remove the bounding box on logs or something so you can pick them up no matter where they land? excluding water i suppose.

The log doesn't have a bounding box (You can walk through it, as you might have noticed). The character walks to the sprite's center coordinate when he's trying to pick it up. The problem is, rather, that no collision detection is done when the tree is first felled, which is loftar's table.

hmmm yeah i was afraid of something like that.

Then give it a bounding box
Seriously, if you could pick up a log by reaching any of it's edges, a lot of the inaccessible log issues would be solved.

There is no generic collision detection done on object creation, so that wouldn't really help.

[sabinati]

what about the edge thing

But isn't it a structure type object?
