Chair

Post by Kingpin »

Is there any tutorials about how to take a msh and make it so a player can sit on it? I need this for a chair, and have searched the vast seas of Gametoast for one asset and have found nothing like it. Anyone know?

Easy. It just needs to be set up as a turret. You can use stock assets like the chairs used in space maps as an example.

Pretty sure a couple chair assets are around here somewhere, not sure in which pack though.

Do you know any of the .odf for the chairs used in space? I can't think of any.

Cool! Is there anyway I can edit the computer console out of that, leaving just the chair? I have never used XSI, is there some sort of hex edit around it?

There's not much you can do with hex editing, but there's already a chair asset out there in the DMI Prefab Pack: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=14474

That one has a small table with it, though, but I'm pretty sure there are others in the Battle Arena assets: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=27649

Hm. I checked the battle arena assets out a while ago, but did not have any success. Is there a basic way in XSI to get that panel off the space chair prop?

The entire operation is about as basic as you can get.
import msh>delete unwanted geometry>export msh

I am sure it will still be a challenge for me. Haha. Thanks!

EDIT: Well, I tried to just get the actual chair ingame, but everywhere it is placed on the map, it is not showing up. I checked my error log and found nothing.

Gonna need more than that to go on. For starters, let's see your ODF and a screenshot of it in ZE.

[img] tags do work, as do the rest, you just have to type them manually. Just an FYI.
