Bomb target rotates

Daniel Radcliffe · Post by **Daniel Radcliffe** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 1:57 pm

Can someone please help me with this, its is the last error in my map.

The objective in my map is for the axis to destroy a train. I have the bomb working fine, but when i have it target the train i want to destroy my problem occurs.

I have created a script_object of the German armoured train, the train should be heading angled to 270 degrees, which it is the the .map file. After i compile the map, all appears fine except that you can walk through the train, easily enough sorted using metal clips.

The problem then comes when I create a obj game with the map, now the train has rotated 90 degrees to either left or right and cannot be seen in this position, but in its origional position. I know that train has rotated as it is now solid and so craeted an invisable wall going across the map, while the train that can be seen is still non-solid and in the correct position.

Please help me, this is damn irritating, once this is done all i have to do is finalise a few details and map will be ready.

Thx in advance

btw: The bomb is located with the drivers compartment.

I have managed to get is so that there is now only 1 train in the map (and its solid) , however is is still rotated 90 degrees to the right. Can anyone tell me how to rotate the train to how i want it? taking into consideration that its in the right position in the .map file.

Thx

How did you rotate it in the map file did you use the angle keys in the entity window or did you rotate it with the z key? Did you use key:angle
value: 270 or key:angles value 270 0 0

Ive rotated it using all of those methods and none of the work, i have now managed to get it right however. Ive had to rotate it using the selection/rotate/rotate Z menu from the top. And this does appear to have solved it.

Can anyone else tell me why this solved the problem and why none of the others would do so?

I think you are supose to use key: angles or angle or the entity window keys but if you did it wrong to start you may need to do it again to right it . I use the entity window keys without problems . Some of the time if you use the Z key at the top you can see in the 2d window that the bounding box rotated but in the 3d window the model looks the same . That is the wrong way as far as I know .
