Title: A few questions, and some funny phenomena
Post by: Anaz on February 14, 2002, 06:00:55 pm
Ok, the questions are as follows:

1) Alright, I have all of my turrets ready to go, named and everything, but when I go to glue them, it acts all funny, and won't let me have:

hull
-----Detail0
-----Turret01
-----Turret02

right, it does something like this:
-----Detail0
-------Turret02
-----Turret01

Yes, a cookie to the one who can figure out what I just said...


And the phenomena:
Messing around in fred 2, create 3 wings of fighters that are classed as 'unknown' because they are in storage. I decide to target one to see if it is all working properly, I target it, and 2 seconds later, it explodes! After another two seconds, all 'unknown' ships spontaniously combust creating a field of explosions...which looked cool I might add...but odd for the mission...

Are you making sure you glue all the turrets to the main hull before gluing the LOD objects to it?

Also, are you gluing as sibling?
