Fritz,

The Devastator's heavily damaged model dissapears shortly after the devastator goes into the state of heavily damaged. When you order the unit to fire it reapears. Can this be easily fixed in g-max? If yes, then how?

Do you intend to make deadhulls for your models? For all of them? I would really appreciate that because I really like those models.

Greetz.

make sure you named it correctly in the INI's. You probably just missed a letter or something.

This would be easier if you posted the art section of that code so we can see it

I did not name it. I just placed the BIG file into the INI folder.

He's right because it happens on my system also.

It turns invisible and continues to fire so unless you have aircraft in the air to attack it in guard mod...your sunk because you can't see it.

I still have the first release of his mod and that problem was not in there.

I'm going to copy the art files and the code into my new project to see if that fixes it.

Hmmm, i use the same code Fritz used for the devastator, and i've never had this problem, maybe it's something to do with the .BIG files?

I'd like to see this problem fixed, because SOME noob is going to spread it online as an invisibilty trick/exploit.

Not much good there cause even if we can't see it the computer can and will still activate base defenses and guard/attack modes.

Well, if it helps, here's the code i use in the art parameters:

Yep that is the right code. I also fixed the bug. Fritz has used a different modelname for the MOVING heavily damaged model. Just copy the code our forumfriend gave and it's okay.

BTW remove the particlesysbone's for the devastator has no exhaustpipe.
