I have an object upgrade that adds a speaker tower to the supply truck much like the overlord upgrade... My towers show up in the right place, but kinda floating around, always horizontal no matter the terrain slope. I've been looking around the ini files for something to do with this, but cant find anything. Does anyone know how to properly attach a spawned object? EDIT: I'll bet it it's something in the model. Like the bone not being attached to the model or something. EDIT: I tried grouping the spawn bone to the main model, but that didn't help at all.

Can I see the code? I've got too many questions to write down that would all be answered by the code.

[quote]W3DTruckDraw[/quote] As I thought. Only the overlord draw module supports addons. This will fix some bugs, I don't know if it'll fix this one in particular. [quote] Model = Speakers[/quote] Is this a custom model? Is it supposed to be an overlord addon?

Posted by: NOP - Saturday, July 16, 2011 10:53:13 AM
If I replace the truck draw with overlord draw, the game crashes... The model speakers is a small speaker model which I made... It all works except that the tower sort of floats... Its for my supply trucks, which get the object upgrade speaker tower, which adds a speaker tower to the supply truck... Actually exactly like the overlords propaganda tower add-on...

[quote]If I replace the truck draw with overlord draw, the game crashes...[/quote] Truckdraw has aspects that tankdraw can't process. So try W3DOverlordTruckDraw. [quote]The model speakers is a small speaker model which I made... It all works except that the tower sort of floats...[/quote] Make sure it has the same bones as the normal overlord turrets.

[quote]So try W3DOverlordTruckDraw[/quote] Doesn't work... [quote]Make sure it has the same bones as the normal overlord turrets.[/quote] the EA add-ons have no bones that I can see... They just spawn on bones on the container model... Is it something in the code?

Posted by: Annihilationzh - Sunday, July 17, 2011 4:36:34 AM
Both were guesses. I don't know why W3DOverlordTruckDraw doesn't work. It's on my modulelist, which says it should. But if it's still crashing you may have to remove some of this section of the art code: [code] LeftFrontTireBone = Tire01 RightFrontTireBone = Tire02 MidLeftRearTireBone = Tire03 MidRightRearTireBone = Tire04 LeftRearTireBone = Tire05 RightRearTireBone = Tire06 TireRotationMultiplier = 0.2 ; this * speed = rotation. PowerslideRotationAddition = 2.5 ; This speed is added to the rotation speed when powersliding. Dust = RocketBuggyDust DirtSpray = RocketBuggyDirtSpray PowerslideSpray = RocketBuggyDirtPowerSlide[/code] As for the speakers, I have long assumed it must have unique bones, because only some models can be used as overlord addons without glitches occuring.

Well it cant be the speaker model, because even if I spawn the overlord speaker model, the same problem occurs... The tower appears at the right bone, only not attached to the model, always vertical, no matter the terrain slope... Might actually be a cool effect for something gyro-stabilised... It should be mentioned that the towers spawn on their side, so I have to flip them on their sides in renx for them to appear vertical in-game... So for some reason, my truck unit code or tower object code or something just isn't spawning them correctly...

if towers can't be attached to the truck then try make a new unit: suplly truck with speaker tower. instead add a tower to the unit make a new unit with a tower on it and add the propaganda effect (just like assault troop crawler). when the player upgrade the truck then just replace all suplly trucks (its just an idea, i don't even know anything about modding or making new units)
