I made a GLA unit amphibious using coolfile's amphibious troop crawler tutorial. However, I think all I did was change the model used and remove the animation. But now the water wave particle fx thing is used on land as well! Here is the code I have for the unit:

Could someone tell me how to fix my unit please?

[GuyInTheWindow]

I'm not sure about these things will fix your problem (gee I'm never certain), but you can try:

- does your new model have TreadFX01 and TreadFX02 bones?

- try adding:

ParticleSysBone    = TreadFX01 none
ParticleSysBone    = TreadFX02 none

to the default condition state.

- try hiding TreadFX01 and TreadFX02 bones in the default condition state.


As a side note, you don't need to specify the model in each condition state if it is the same as the default condition state. The default condition state will automatically plug in its data into each condition state unless something in that condition state overrides it.

The problem is that the code lacks a pure MOVING ConditionState. You should create one and either have no ParticleSysBone lines (for no particle effects) or add them and specify a land-appropriate trailing effectm, such as dust clouds.

Thanks, it worked exactly as I wanted it to.
