help my tank's turret tilts up istead of turns to the left/right. How do I fix this?

[Tebrey]

You need to align all the parts axis to the world in gmax.

you have probably rotated your barrel while editting it ... you should reset your Pivot

[Tebrey]

Here is a quick guide

Picture #1

The right side of your screen has your menu's. One of the is marked Hierarchy, click it.


Picture #2

With your entire model selected (use select all or drag select) Click the Effect Pivot Only, Then the Align to World. This makes everything line up right in game. You will see the pivots move when you do this. It is important to do this each time you make a new object in the scene, and each time you rotate or move anything.




Picture #3

This is to fix the green ball problem. Select the bones on your model, Use Ctrl-Click to select more than one at a time. Then click on the hammer menu. Then W3D Tools Menu (the first), W3d Export Settings will show up at the bottom. Make sure Export Transform is Clicked, and Export Geometry is not. That will fix it.

I fixed it because i found out it got rotated with out me knowing and i built the turret while it was rotated. Also I need one more question what w3d options do you use for the flashfx objects in gmax? Do you do the same as for the bones?

[sage_inferno]

if your using a weopon already in the game you only bones
the weapon takes care of it if its already in weapon.ini etc

like this conscript he uses a modified ak47

a tip
i normaly use the muzzlfx bone in the ini files
as launchbone and for the effects.
there fore you can fake them without putting them in gmax
generals will use for exampel the effects of the paladintankgun if your tank has it as primaryweapon.
sounds wierd? it works and saves time
