Why is that? I place weapons and ammo in the same way. After all, it's easy. But sometimes they are just not there where I placed them. I placed the ammo at the X...but in game it is not there.



This is the first problem.
My second problem is that some weapons are ok in the editor and the game (game engine mode) but when I build the game and run it there might be a shift...and weapons and ammo are shifted one FPSC segment, approx.

What's wrong?



coming soon...

Same thing happens to me. Don't know why. If somebody knows the answer, do tell.

You haven't accidentally gone up a level in the editor (pressing the plus key) and then placed them have you thinking you were on the level below? (this is just a wild guess).

I have been pretty much able to get things where I want after a while. It's always a problem placing a dynamic entity, especially when in close proximity to another dynamic entity. Try a little more distance between them and make sure you place them a little above the crate or other entity. If the crate is not static, making it so may help as well.

I learned this after playing around with entities on shelves. It takes a while. LOL

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Like Xplosys said, if a dynamic entity is inside (even partway) a static one, the dynamic entity will be flung out, may be that's what's happening then.

Or in its physics range, this is so with entities with physics on fly apart if they are put together on the start of the game. Weapons have physics turned on by default, so this physics thing will affect them.

Thanks for your answers. So it`s normal to keep trying until all weapons and ammo are set. LOL

@ NickyDude: I think you can get round this if you turn collisions off. Add 'coloff' into the script in the appropriate place.

For weapons and ammo it is not necessarily the physics that does it.

I tried stacking a bunch of ammo clips into a pile on a table one time, and when I got there in the game, all the clips had even spaced themselves out... some were compeltely off the table but they were not falling and retained the initial rotation that I gave them.

Dammit, Jim! I'm a programmer not a graphic designer!!!
