Place the object on your map at X0,Y0,Z0. If you can't see the trail then it's because for some reason the vertices of something arn't attached to your model, rather the map.

P.S. Why do you use Norton?

Don't forget AVG! best and easiest to use Anti-Virus imo.

But remember never have both AVG or Avast! resident protection activated at one time unless you want to slow your computer down.

I wouldn't be worried about my computer being slowed down if I had two they would just detect each other as viruses probably lol.

As far as I can see you didnt bone/rig the vehicle at all?

What you need to do is bone the vehicle and make an animation for it (i suppose you want to have the top rotating as in red alert 2)

You can just follow this tutorial ->
http://www.renhelp.net/index.php?mod=Tutorials&action=view&id=58

With one exception my guess is the rotation on top works the best if you dont rig it as turret.

You can better make an invisible barrel/turret so it looks asif it was firred from the rotating part.

I hope this helps you out!

You can skip the .00 behind barrel.00 etc (they are only necesary if you make other LOD's of your model barrel.01 etc)

What you have to do is animate you model. Click the animate button and make a nice rotation (I can explain how to animate if needed)

well i DID animate it but more importantly atm is why do they only shoot the way they are facing, they dont aim at ALL.... arent the turret and barrel and muzzle supposed to b attached to each other?

muzzle to barrel and barrel to turret?

This is the way how everything should be attached (this is of a vehicle but turrets work the same)

http://www.renhelp.net/Tutorials/TUT_Vehicle_Bone/17.JPG

(from tutorial at renhelp -> http://www.renhelp.net/index.php?mod=Tutorials&action=view&id=59)

What is the base preset you used to make the tower? Did you set the turret tilt rate and turret tilt max etc (check a mediumtank what to fill in)

In the same 'settings tab' there is located a tab called 'animation' fill in the animation name there

For example in the cnc_gdi_orca it is ->
V_GDI_ORCA.V_GDI_ORCA (the name of your original file say prismtower.w3d -> then it is prismtower.prismtower)

I hope all will work then Smile

Hmmm weird, Well what you can do is this -> Select the turret preset Temp or add it. Then change the model to your prismtower, change the ids names (so it isnt named turret :0 ), then fill in the animation and weapons and try that.

If that doesnt works then there is probably something wrong in the gmax file (which I will need to see a screenie how it is linked and just a regular view)

Just to be sure now these are the link buttons ->

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g161/BrianOcho/linkbuttons.jpg

Select the object you want to link to another object and press the link button. Then click on the object you want to have it linked to. (always check in your subtree if it worked out)

I hope you can get it fixed now Smile
