So this doesn't only not work, but it's not implemented at all?

If you go back and re-read what I posted you'll see that bounding-sphere's are NOT used in collision detection with shells/torpedoes/DCs. An actual 3D model is used for this collision detection. So as the magnetic detonator never collides with the 3D model it never triggers

Can a transparent model be added to the torpedo? after say 500 meters a 1 meter tube model is redered around the torpedo that is transparent to account for the magetics.

I think the easier solution is to add to the DMG_col_x model of the ship. I'll post about that here soon after I finish my importing an SH3 unit into SH5.

And what I said was that they should've used bounding-spheres to simulate the ship's magnetic field.
So it basically needs a hack of some sort to make it work...
