Nah... I'lll check it out, but I already can make turrets.(That is if I had any skill with TS, even if I put a circle on top of a circle, I can make turets out of it)

Hey, Killmenow - do you now how to make LODs?


I've already asked this elsewhere, but no-one wants to answer  

[Styxx]

I didn't see your first question, then.

Just glue a light to the object on TS and rename it Detail1 to Detail3 (for LODs 1 to 3, three, obviously), and glue them as childs ot the main hull object. Voilà.

cheers, I'll try that

arg.. i tried this and it works for 1 turret but when i try top put two on the hierarchy looks like this... (it crashes FS using any compiler)

Code: [Select]

-hull
   -turret01
   -none
     -turret02
     -none
       -turret03
...

it should go like:

Code: [Select]

-hull
  -turret01
  -turret02
...

i added a bit down the bottom that puts it int eh right order - although i cant guarentee it since i dont use ts1 - but quite a few people have got muliple turrets to work with that system

[phreak]

thank you sir

I've recently found out that everything has to be glued as sibling, or you're going to have to fix it in TrueView.

[KillMeNow]

well my system works - i puts it into the same hieracry structure as is done using trueview. and lots of turrets work and teh bounding boxes are in the right place and there are no extra subobjects so i'm happy wiht the way i do it
