[Tutorial]Making Add-Ons With Blender(Not Modeling)

[DarkStar]

Figured it out. I've gotten it to spawn in-game.

Next problem, how do I make a transaparent color? I tried using a transparent .png, but it just shows up lighter than it should, and you can't see through it.

You have to go to the materials tab in the exporter, select the material you want to be transparent and hit translucent, then hit additive.

Sweet, thanks. I'll try that.

[Deathwishez]

Is there any way to make it less transparent?

When it spawned in-game, it looked normal at first. But when I looked closer, I realized that the floor was missing. What happened??

[DarkStar]

How do I specify what part is paintable?

make it less transparent by having less opacity in the texture.

for the paintable part, use a completely transparent texture but don't enable translucency for it.

not sure, maybe a problem with the normals.

Never mind, it was just that the model was too complicated. No harm done

How many polys was it?

I never checked, but a lot. I had two fuel barrels on the back, which were really smoothed. When I removed them it got fixed

You assigned them wrong, somehow. I can't really help you with that :/
