Animated Unit Addons

Post by Super_Clone »

Is there a way so your animated unit addon doesnt dissapear when your unit is flying with a jetpack or force hover ability, like a way to change the unit odf so it just wont dissapperate (am i spelling that right?[dis-ap-per-ate])into thin air?

Okay, an animated unit addon, i guess you mean for example the wookiee dreads? If so, these NEVER dissapear from the unit; he is one with the unit.. Could you show us an ingame pic of what you mean?

Attach an addon mesh like this:

AnimatedAddon = "NAMEITWHATEVERYOUWANT"
GeometryAddon = "msh_name"
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_name"

This addon will ALWAYS stay on the unit.. I don't see your point on flying or hovering.. An addon ALWAYS stays on the unit, since it's munged on the unit.. Hope this helps?

I can confirm that this happens, but I don't think there is a solution.
Only thing you can do is import the model, put the pauldron on the unit, do the other stuff like enveloping, then re-export.

Or just live with it.

Yep, the addon geometry disappearing when jet jumping is a known issue and there is no known solution, just work-arounds.
