There seems to be a phantom spot in the middle of the Waterhead bridge where you can fall right through. The spot is at a sim edge between Waterhead and Hawkshead (waterhead 138,255). Heres a snapshot of me floatin there. Heehee.

From: paulie Femto There seems to be a phantom spot in the middle of the Waterhead bridge where you can fall right through. The spot is at a sim edge between Waterhead and Hawkshead (waterhead 138,255). Heres a snapshot of me floatin there. Heehee. If I'm not mistaken, that's a known issue when building on simborders. |

this is a known issue. the problem is that what's in another sim is not calculated by the physics engine in an adjacent sim even if the object is visible. So, if an object's root is outside the sim you're in, any part of that linked object extending into your sim essentially is phantom. You'd thing simply joining two object exactly at the dividing line would be the solution but this isn't the case. The reason that doesn't work is there is about a 1 meter buffer on each side of the boarder where you stay in the sim you've been in. So, if you walk from one sim to the next, you actually don't get transfered until you're one meter into the next sim. This means if you walk across a bridge that has pieces touching exactly at the dividing line, you've still got about a meter on each side that you can fall through the next piece. The solution is to have a piece on each side extending into the next sim for a distance. so that the solid pieces on each side actually overlap for 2+ meters. This can look ugly if you use visible pieces so using totally transparent pieces overlapping the bridge might look better.
