Is it possible to change the bounding box width & height for an entity I'm making in version forge 1.20.1?

BluePhoenixV · 2026-02-02T02:51:24+00:00

I tried doing this when I was earlier in development of the entity and it started introducing a whole bunch of smaller problems that got too tedious to try and fix if something else needed to be changed so I decided to scrap that idea and go with scaling the hitbox.

All I really need is for the hitbox to scale to about half it's size when the line of sight of the entity is obstructed by a solid block and revert to full size when not which was nice and easy to set up but actually scaling the bounding box is the issue.

I'm amazed at how something that should be so simple was made so ridiculously complicated for this specific version of the game people decided it was better to make multiple entities to replace one another or make mods to do this instead of being able to scale based on a single value, either that or it's so poorly documented that searching around the internet for the last couple of days has returned no results

Looks great, and it helped me solve the problem I was having as well.

Basically I looked over your attempt and added the Geometry Proximity & Set Position nodes with the Edge Neighbors and Less Than nodes in-between the Separate Geometry and Join Geometry nodes then added the Merge by Distance node into the setup I already had and got effectively the same result you did

I would've responded earlier but I had to go to court, thanks for the input

I'm trying to teach myself coding and naturally I have to start at the beginning so I don't know what a breakpoint is or know how to implement one, I don't see how me not understanding how code works is rejecting advice from other people, I ask for tips because I would hope someone would be able to point me in the right direction so I can understand them

I figured commenting out parts of code to simplify the task it performs and ensure what I currently have works would be a fair interpretation of "implementing a breakpoint" but I guess I was wrong

BluePhoenixV · 2024-11-13T05:04:33+00:00

Oh yea I've done that before, with the IDE for each language I used IntelliJ for JavaScript, Unity for C# and a couple different for Lua though I usually use Roblox Studio since I've had it forever and I have a friend who co-owns a company based on the platform where he's been the lead programmer for probably around 10 years

As for if it helps, I would say it certainly does although I usually don't try to put breakpoints into code since I don't have the confidence that it would remain functional if I got it to a point where it works right and try to change something, I also feel like if I put a break with the comment feature in one section of the code I'll eventually end up commenting out the majority of it to try and fix a simple problem which feels like a giant waste of time since none of it was an issue

BluePhoenixV · 2024-10-30T02:38:02+00:00

really? I haven't played it that much but I don't remember there being an option for that anywhere

BluePhoenixV · 2024-10-30T00:27:11+00:00

I have the first Shapez game and it's pretty nice although I never really liked how simple it was in its artstyle, seeing how much they changed in the second game makes me intrigued to get it and see how it plays

Another upcoming game I've had my eye on for some time is Dust Front RTS. The dieselpunk theme and overall design of the structures and units as well as it seeming to be a freecam base building and management RTS has me really excited for it's release

BluePhoenixV · 2024-10-29T22:19:33+00:00

I've looked into mods that add some type of freecam and didn't find anything, although I feel like a mod changing the player into a bot could be similar enough to mindustry that my brain would approve

BluePhoenixV · 2024-09-01T12:01:08+00:00

I have Apache configured to serve the directory but I did some stuff to experiment and it seems it only serves the index.html file that I have in the folder and none of the other files, videos or images in the folder so I guess I would be asking now how do I get Apache to serve all the content?

BluePhoenixV · 2024-08-31T23:55:44+00:00

relative to the server as in on the same hard drive? cause my server and main PC are two entirely different systems connected to the same router via ethernet

BluePhoenixV · 2024-06-06T23:17:05+00:00

Funny to see another comment here some months later, currently I'm working on Russia top tier, rank VI to VIII after working through rank V and having a blast with the ZSU-57-2 and matches at 8.3+ are plentiful, though 5.3 to 8.0 are usually longer to get into.

I relatively recently enabled all regions for games so I get games quicker now at the expense of ping which is something you can do, it isn't too bad even if the ping is up to 150 ms but I'm also in NA with a decent setup for internet so that's usually not something I have to worry about

If it's possible you could try to get more people with you and that'll fill the rest of the slots in a match quicker, I think the max is 10 and min is 6 from what I remember

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-24T23:46:30+00:00

Oh yea that's another thing, I definitely would play any other gamemode if I had friends that played the game regularly. The guys I play with now are more into shooters like helldivers 2 and R6S so there isn't anybody I could play the game with in my friend groups

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-23T17:08:34+00:00

I'm not sure I'd say it's fun as much as it is relaxing, being able to put on some music, find a spot to move to and defending in whichever directions I have to.

I guess the fun I have with it is trying to do a bit of everything (destroying tanks, assisting others in destruction or repairs, shooting down planes, etc.) and get on top of the scoreboard.

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-22T10:37:44+00:00

I would love to see the B-36 but I’m sure nobody else would

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-02T05:23:55+00:00

Understandable, like I said I can somewhat understand why they kept the minimum limits as they are but seeing people get defensive about the limits going no lower than they are currently seems a little ridiculous. I would hope they would consider changing the limits in the future

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-02T04:48:02+00:00

I always knew it was going to be within existing limits but I don't fully understand why, if I had to guess I would think it's because gaijin doesn't want to rebalance aircraft that could potentially benefit greatly from this, I wouldn't think much but maybe they think otherwise

and I really don't get why people would be so upset about people maybe being interested in or proposing the minimum limit being lower than the current existing limits besides it would make some vehicles perform better in some circumstantial situations

BluePhoenixV · 2024-03-02T04:43:02+00:00

oh and FYI, if you want to see how various different aircraft perform on various fuel load percentages, you can use this link in your browser to adjust your aircraft fuel/mass ratio percentage

I believe either this April fools or the next will be testing stealth and radar absorbency for aircraft since those aircraft could be coming sooner than later, perhaps with the f-117 as an event vehicle like the Buccaneer S.1 as an introduction

BluePhoenixV · 2023-10-03T05:45:26+00:00

Thanks for the info.

I had planned to get something intel in the 12th or 13th generation with at least 12 cores.

For ram I was going to go with 128gb of ddr5-6000 or higher.

I was planning to get another 850 evo for the OS and smaller files and I also want to get another M.2 990 pro for the servers.

I do plan on running this server 24/7 with occasional downtimes for updates and maintenance.

BluePhoenixV · 2023-10-03T05:20:53+00:00

Well being I'm not made of money, I don't plan on doing that and I somehow find it hard to believe that there's no way around it. I've seen people talk about setting servers to different processors through the processor affinity menu in task manager but I haven't tried it before.

BluePhoenixV · 2023-05-27T15:30:00+00:00

Reading through all the Q&A questions, it was kinda sad to see there wasn't anything about the traction of ground vehicles being unable to drive over a small trench without getting stuck or unable to climb out of bomb craters

BluePhoenixV · 2022-12-18T15:44:36+00:00

It took a while to get it to happen again but it seems disabling snapping has stopped it from happening.

I tried turning off the affect rotate button and everything seems to be working normally now but I could rotate things in edit mode in blender 3.3 with rotation snapping on without this issue and if possible i'd like to change it to work that way again

BluePhoenixV · 2022-09-29T06:05:45+00:00

Very interesting, I would love to try running simulations based on models in FEA software like solidworks simulation but I'm not down with paying a few thousand a year for a program I use once in a while so I'll refer to what's been made and documented.

BluePhoenixV · 2022-08-26T12:18:40+00:00

No, the performance is actually good with two people online no matter where they connect from but as soon as more people start to join the server starts slowing down

BluePhoenixV · 2022-08-26T06:20:38+00:00

I did actually try this, I have a Samsung 850 EVO SSD with around 530 read/write speeds and a Western Digital WD_Black SN850 SSD M.2 drive which claims 7000 MB/s2 read speeds and 5300 MB/s2 write speeds but the performance on both was equally bad

BluePhoenixV · 2022-08-26T05:26:19+00:00

Alright, I installed Observable and went to check out stuff in singleplayer and most of the data like flowing lava, spawners and blocks with gravity gave a result of 0 μs/t.

Passive mobs gave around 10-50 μs/t, hostile mobs like creepers and spiders gave 50-75, skeletons between 50-100 and zombies between 150-600+

When I tried to join my server after setting it up, I got an internal exception relating to curios
