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

Also how would I get a custom bullet working?

If it is a custom projectile make sure that the empty is named Detail1 instead of Detail 32 or else it will disappear in the air.

Is the detail word on the names of empties case sensitive?
Is 'shape' case sensitive?

I'm having serious problems with the whole 'levels of detail' currently...

Ok, Im making a Turret type thing... will I need col0? Everytime I spawn the turret I crash, and I currently have Col0...

No its not.

If it's a player datablock then no.

[takato14]

It is, and I removed the col0, but it still crashes. This is all that comes up in my console when i load, if it helps.

Alright, I was able to get rid of all that console spam. Its still crashing whenever I spawn it. :c

EDIT: I fixed it. A stupid mistake on my part. Thanks anyways for the help :D

[takato14]

I dont crash when I spawn it, but Im having a new problem :/

No matter what I do, the scale of the model will NOT change in the export; Its always tiny as hell, Ive scaled it up several times using both the export scale option in the DTS exporter and by scaling the model itself and neither have worked. Help?

I changed the export scale to 100100.00 and it STILL isnt changing, wtf??

Ugh... NOW im getting this message in my console:

Code: [Select]

Error: shape Add-Ons/Vehicle_GammaCannon/Gamma Cannon Turret.dts-collision detail 0 (Collision-1) bounds box invalid!
Any idea of whats going on? :c

Oh ok

The collision box of a player type is in the script, not in the model. I don't really know what's going on here.

T_T

Well, Ill try some things....

Is there a size limit on a DTS? as in how big the model is?

EDIT: Re-exporting the model did the trick. Thanks for the help DarkStar :D

If I parent the fire animation to detail32 but I need it to rotate for my reload animation I can't rotate it!

Are you using the same bone for both animations? You gotta add a new animation and then re-keyframe the bone. And why are you saying you're parenting your animation, you can't parent your animation you parent the bones that display the animation and I'm assuming that's what you mean..
