Remove collision from power cables
New, NormalPublic

Description

Model of power cables with ropes/lianas hanging from them (Land_vn_misc_cable_ep1) has collision on both the cables and the lianas. As such, depending on how low they hang, vehicles driving under them will hit them. However, unlike the poles they're attached to, the cables/lianas are indestructible.

This will naturally lead to a big confusion on the part of driver (who'd expect his vehicle to break the cables), damage to the car, and (in worst case scenario) having vehicle stuck between cables and groud, with any action taken to move the vehicle (by script or Zeus) resulting in it's rapid unplanned disassembly.

It seems that removing collision from the cables (or at least the ropes/lianas) would be the best course of action - the other option would be to make them destructible like poles, but the resulting animation may not look particularly nice.

Additional Information

It seems that the worst offender are cables over the road from Ban Len to Phok Ham - they hang so low that even M54 truck cannot drive underneath.

Cables in Hai Phong slums - high enough for truck to drive under.

Cables on the road between Ban Len to Phok Ham - the truck will hit this part.

Cables on the road between Ban Len to Phok Ham - this is the worst offender, since that liana hangs over the middle of the road, and it's possible (depending on speed) to have the vehicle stuck.
