Vehicle Problem

[Patrickssj6]

I made my vehicle and got into sapien and when i trie to build the catch file it says:


But doesn't the nodes have to be different from the collision?I mean you have to rename the markers in 3ds max for the collision or?
And what about the animation problem?

That means you did not make your collision properly, by nodes it means frames. So in the model where you have say a "frame hull" it needs to be in the same place in the collision. You dont need markers really for collision, unless you have special collision effects.(like a destructable vehicle)

so i can't delete these boxes wich are called frames.I have to rename the spheres and add some and delte some right?But what has to be linked to what?

These are the nodes that i need right?But which is to be linked to which?

[Patrickssj6]

Hello anyone?What do i need for the collsiion?What has to be linked to what?
PLZ HELP!!!

[[users]axem]

It doesnt allways matter for it to be linked to everything. But it is allways best for you to make it neatly orginized etc. Example: #gunturret would be properly linked to frame turret

[Patrickssj6]

for the collision i don't take the gunturret nodes

Remember, Nodes are frames. So if its in the old collision tag, you put them in the collision file. Otherwise good ol tool well see a error.

so the things i should rename in 3ds max for the collision are these boxes?i always renamed the spheres

[[users]axem]

The spheres are usually the markers. They mark places like smoke on a weapon. They Usually have a # sighn infront of there names.

Oh and the frames usually have frame gun or frame tire on them.

For the collision, you dont really need markers. Just the nodes. If you need new nodes then just use the gbx model importer. Delete the old, add the new.

do ineed the old ones or can i replace them completely?
