Jbeam suggestion : All in one collision section

Hey! I would like to request a section that would replace the triangles and quads sections within jbeam.

It gets confusing if you have a jbeam structure that needs both, especially with the way jbeam "leaks" into other parts.

What I propose is something such as

Code:

"collision":[
  ["id1:", "id2:", "id3:", "id4:"],
  //a triangle
  ["x","y","z"]
  //a quad
  ["x","y","z","a"]
]

I have done some tests within vlua and it looks like you can indeed specify 3 values with a header that wants 4, and the 4th one will turn out to be nil.

With this way it would be a single unified section instead of multiple (which can get confusing).

 

so can i make all my collision stuff out of quads instead of triangles to save time?

 

I think that is why quads are made for?

 

I'm aware, but I usually wind up making a quad that touches the same node twice in order to not get in a mess with having both a triangles and quads section. Since iirc those are treated differently with lift/drag coefs, so you have to triple check that these things are all proper between both sections.
