Hello,

I got a problem to unload a combine.
If I simply use <pipe index="xx"/>, I can unload the combine in the trailer but the grain goes thrue the trailer.
If I use the more complex description :

<pipe numStates="2" unloadingStates="2" raycastNodeIndex="17|0" raycastDistance="6">
<node index="17" rotationSpeeds="11 25 0">
<state1 rotation="0 0 0"/>
<state2 rotation="40 -90 0"/>
</node>
</pipe>

the pipe move correctly but won't unload the combine.

I placed the "raycastNodeIndex" at the right place but I think my problem comes from "raycastDistance".

So, what is "raycastDistance" and use it ?

Thanks,

Best regards

The script does cast a ray starting at the raycastNode in the -1 Y direction of this node, with a maximal distance of raycastDistance. So you should make this big enough, that you can hit anything between the raycastNode and the ground (ie. the maximal distance of the raycastNode and the terrain you have under normal circumstances).

So you should make sture that the raycastNode is attached to the pipe at the right position, such that it is rotated with the pipe, and it should have Y axis that points upwards.

A raycastDistance of 6 is ok, unless you've created a really high combine.
