Hello to all. I'm having this problem that I can't seem to fix. Here's the problem object placed in Zero Editor (the fan thing):
Hidden/Spoiler:

In game, most of the time this object is invisible:

But if you look at it at certain angle, it's visible:

Here's the object's .odf file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "eddie_prop_windmill01.msh"


[Properties]
GeometryName = "eddie_prop_windmill01"
GeometryScale = 5.0
and here is its .msh.option file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
-scale 5.0
Does anyone know how fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't scale it up to 5.0. Scaling an object any higher than about 2 will make the object disappear at certain angles. Either scale the object in XSI or use the TRAN chunk (http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=12263) to tweak the scale. Both of those will assure that you don't have this problem.

Thanks a lot, Mav. I'm going to try using the TRAN chunk tutorial although I'm having some trouble understanding it.
