Collision for dropped virtual inventory

[Defragments]

Any chance collision for dropped inventory can be removed? Arma is clunky enough as it is without stuff like this anyway.

Added a poll for opinions too. I guess if everyone likes it then it can stay.

Not sure. I thought I got stuck between some inventory when I got on earlier.

Looks like there is still collision

Ah right. Does every item have collision? I remember a long time ago we actually dropped a variety of items instead of just a suitcase. I wonder if any of those would be better to use in place of it.

Never forget having to run around in a 20m radius trying to find all of your y.

I’m sorry, there’s just too many exploits I enjoy with collision.

I think you haven't played for a year. I will be referencing the following source from last year:

Also, wait up to 10 seconds for them to have collision disabled.

Why do we have to wait up to 10 seconds?

Still collides with vehicles though, been killed by them in the middle of the MSR while driving

No I didnt but vehicles are a bigger issue imo esp since the anti road littering script doesnt work when you die on the road
Oly handles it by not locking suitcases to the floor so when collided with they go flying instead of the driver dying.

I'm not going to enable simulation for every item dropped on the map, comes down to peformance again.

what prevents disabling collision with vehicles after 10 seconds like it does for players?

I play on and off all year every year. I miss a patch note sometimes.

Very unfortunate it has ten seconds though but I guess better than nothing. When someone dies and you get stuck on their inventory, it sucks. Do other items have smaller hitboxes that wouldn't be as bad? Like whatever painkillers used to be? I really don't know what assets arma has for this kind of thing but the suitcase is obnoxiously big.
