Help?

hmm... it seems like there occurs(sp?) some errors when you use a model to something it ISNT

I tihnk its because you maybe can't use a unit's .ODF and unit model as a prop

try to maybe re-make the .odf so it becomes an object...?

Yes I got that kind of errors too in my Nowhere: New City map. I had put in a sat_fly_armchair in as an object.

I think its because the .odf settings is set as a Vehicle, Soldier or anything it ISNT

so change the .odf so it becomes an object/prop

A step by step guide would be good, surely as the soldier is animated don't you have problems converting it into a prop, I could find ODF's for dead Jawas in the assets but not for other units, obviously possible.. but how?

i thought jawas were diffrent... it uses a diffrent msh as well...

yeah but it's the only ODF for anything dead I could find, I'm not sure how you'd sort out the difference between a dead trooper, a jumping trooper or crouching trooper in terms of ODFs or similar, It must be easily possible, fred'll know.

You can place soldiers as props, but since the dead pose is the result of an animation it is impossible to simple place the body. I'm thinking you would have to remove the dead body from the msh, make it a new model, and give it a prop odf.

yeah - that's the 'hard' way to do it if there even IS another way to do it...

aren't the walking AT- AT's animations too? cos fred chain isle map is littered with them in the "fallen" position

There are a couple crashed ATATs in Hoth as objects. Fred I think did the midwalking ATAT models, I'm not sure.

but we're still no closer to unit corpses?

yea carbine, no luck with it yet.

How about utilising the human prone MSH in the shipped common animations (or similar), use this MSH to make a prop etc... does this help at all?

i dont think its possible .

i doubt theres anyway to do this > when a trooper dies he kinda falls over into a 'dead' position and drops his gun. Maybe that could be a way somehow . tho its probably hard coded or whatever.

Carbine, i did what u said eactly at the beginning, but it crashes the game.

Sorry I'm slightly confused... do you mean you've done something that I suggested (which I haven't as I haven't a clue how to do it, check the thread) or do you mean that you've tried to some how use the human prone MSH prior to my mentioning it as a possible step towards finding an answer (it's the only MSH I could find that may be of help)? if that's the case can you let me know how to make a start on the route to ammending it in order to make it into a prop, it maybe something small you need to change in order to get it working, however I'm a long way off from that stage at the moment.

Even if you could get the human props to not dissapear after you've shot them down that would work. Since I know what you're really wanting to do I'll give you my suggestion next time I see you on MSN.
