Title: How to make turret debris?
Post by: aldo_14 on August 08, 2001, 11:15:00 am

ugh, grammar...

I'm making a nice new destroyer (no pictures yet, but it's class  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) ), and I'm making debris for the turrets.

So, if I;
make the turret as normally (i.e. glue light to barrel, glue combo to base),
create a debris object,
glue a light to it and name the combo turretxx-debris,
glue as sibling to the turret object

Will it work?

Thanks.

No...it won't.

The name needs to be <turretname>-destroyed, and it must be glued to the main hull.

and you must set an axis of rotation it's how FS figures wich way the debris will go flying.

You want debris to fly at you? You're after live debris then. You need a subobj in your detail's root group called debris-<subobjname>. This new subobj needs to have a rotation axis set. Good look getting this stuff to work. I sort of got it working but it made my model very unstable.

I always get you two mixed up....   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

And I just want to have broken debris lying on the ships hull, not live debris..... although maybe for another model  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

well I set it on the Golgothat spinny thing as well as several other unmentioned models and I havn't heard one complaint, you just have to do it one bit at a time and make sure it works before you move on.
