Post by gmsteuart »

I was wondering how do i make an object smaller in size, such the zanzibar gate. Using random numbers for example how do i make it where itstead of it being 11x8 but make it 5.5x4?

Edit the modle. It will still have the same collision. Also, you examples are only 2 dimensional. The gate its three dementions.

I believe he means extract the model and edit it, as I have never seen any values in the model tag for changing size. What you do is use a program like Entity/ADI/Darkmatter and extract the models into .obj or .x format and edit in a program like 3ds MAX or Blender, or even milkshape

in entity, goto your mode tag and then on other plugins there should be a model resizer and resize to your liking!

im not goin to worry about it right now, i had stuff i wanted into the map and i dont want to mess with it really, so i just erased the map, but i still have that version on my xbox which im glad. it just got gay, so i am goin to wait till next entity version comes out to mod my maps, because i had some sweet stuff. Plus its pretty much my first mod.

oh great, i guess kind of. I wanted to do all rooms but i thought i try one and see how it works. But then i thought why not one gate and this gate has a FRG behind it or something powerful! But the problem with the full rod gun is that it adds like 6mgs to the map, unless im wrong?
