Soldiers as Props [Solved]

Heya, it's me again

Qdin couldn't really help me, so I'll ask here again:

I want to place Clone-Soldiers as Props in my map, but I don't know how. I placed the ODF's out from the ODF-Folder in my world1-folder OR i placed the odf's out from the side folder, but they didn't even show up in ze, neither ingame. Then i tried placing the .msh's, trying both folders again. This time they showed up in ZE, although they were really strange looking... But Ingame there doesn't show up any of em... Does anyone know a "working" way to do it?

You need to set their ODF files up as props like a building would have, but even if you did that their arms and legs would be stretched out, and they wouldn't look very good.

Could it have anything to do with the layer?

Well the stetch probably has something to do with how they're animated.

well i tryed defining em as "armedbuilding" but it didn't work too... than i tryed that:

[GameObjectClass]

ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "rep_inf_trooper.msh"

[Properties]

GeometryName = "rep_inf_trooper"
GeometryLowRes = "rep_inf_trooper_low1"

but same problem as always, placing odf doesn't change anything, placing msh only shows up in ze (looking wierdly)...

qdin told me he used to do this before with gungans... but he couldn't explain how :-X

I just placed them... O.o

Because of that, they had full animations. Great fun to blast +50 gungans with 1 OVERPOWERED Nade

wow hey, there shows something up when i define them as "armedbuilding" and place the modified odf from the sides folder....

the things showing up look pretty weird, having about 2 heads and other lenghtened arms and so on...

would it work to define them as "animatedprop" and give them "standing"-animations? maybe like jabba or something... i'm not not familiar with the animation thingies

just put the unti template clone in the pose you need it and freeze the mesh and delete the skeleton and export, simple.

OR - just give them a normal prop-classlabel and make the .odf a prop?

I doubt you'll need them to be killed.. or what?

lol - too bad for you, Dymon - that it doesn't work wi thMod Tools

I already gave you another option, but if you want a 'statue' it's just to use the way Mini' said.

ouch.... this program looks... kind of complicated... confusing.... If it is that simple as you said, couldn't you just create em for me? I just need ep2_rifleman and clone commanders which are standing still, animations (breathing or something ^^) would be nice, but aren't necessary... Please, you masters of Maps and Mods, I would be soo delighted

I'll talk with you on TS or Xfire about this.

Unless a problem comes up, I'll keep this locked.
