Title: Disappearing Item
Post by: kojak488 on August 11, 2013, 09:54:25 pm
I'm completely stumped.  I managed to get the head model in game, but when it was moved too close to the center of the axis, then the item wouldn't dispaly in-game (whereas it would display above the head before it got too close, then it'd disappear completely).

To troubleshoot my export options I made a totally new object in 3DSM and placed it near the center axis where the item should be.  I exported it as a .obj, converted it to a .m2 in Glitchy's, and then was able to load it in-game just fine.  No issues.  It appeared exactly where it should.

So then I added another random new object into the first model.  Suddenly I can move one of the two objects in the model to the center axis and it'll display both.  However, if both models are too close to the center axis, then neither displays in-game.  I even put the object I want on the center axis, got it to display in game (by having the other object further away), then deleted the other object... and the one that was displaying just fine then doesn't display.

Does anyone have a clue why it'd do that?  My solution right now is to just have another object further away and scaled so small that it isn't visible in game, which is working but is a ghetto-ass fix.

In the thumbnail you can barely see where the second object is further away from the center axis.  It displays in-game.  If I move it too close to the bigger object or even delete it, then the bigger object won't display in-game.
