I am making a map in Gmax for my bothers and me to play over LAN. I have a problem though.

The Nod base has two Obelisks. I'm using the duplicate buildings setup from the Mod Release section so there's an Ob1 and Ob2, and each has its own mp_Nod_Obelisk controller like instructions say to do.

The problem: both obelisks don't fire at anything in front of them. They only hit what they see to the sides or behind them.

Any idea why this could happen? There's no objects obscuring the ob's line of sight.

Would those instructions be the same ones from this tutorial: http://renegadehelp.net/index.php?act=tutorial&id=10149

I did that for each, yes. But I was referring to Deathlink's readme here:

Quote:

This Gmax-Scene provides two more defenses and one more powerplants.
All together you have with your original buildings 3 AGTs, 3 obelisks and 2 powerplants for each faction.

### 2. Installation

-Just merge the builingds from this gmax-scene into your gmax-scene
-give every copy-building an own buildingcontroller in Leveledit

From what I know of setting up controllers for obelisks, doesn't sound like anything is wrong in how things are setup. Don't have any other ideas why it is malfunctioning like that. Sorry mate. =(

I repositioned it a little and now it works proper. I guess it has to do withe rotational facing of the house or something.

New problem though, yay...

when I host, I move fine, but any client has a problem. Specifically, the game thinks they're always facing northeast. So if they face northeast it's fine but if they face southwest, pressing forward makes them leg backwards.

What the heck, Renegade. Sneaky

Positioning of the map is messed up. You'll have to go back into gmax and re-center it. To do this, go to the Hierarchy, then select "Affect pivot only". Then do "Center to object".

...Or, if I'm wrong, just center the map by selecting the whole thing and making the coords 0,0,0 (THEN do the pivot thing). I dunno, never had this problem myself but if I recall this is why it happens.

I'll give that a shot and see how it goes.

Thanks for the help, everyone, I appreciate it Thumbs Up

EDIT: Your first suggestion didn't work, GZ. I'll try the other.

MORE EDIT: OK, second suggestion did it. Only aftereffect is that client's turnrate was down for some reason, while in vehs.

I'm pretty sure it was because of my positioning, I put it at the top and lowered it by -41, but I bet it was back too far and the front of the actual ob was blocking Line Of Sight.

That's my guess anyway.
