Ok if you press 'b' It seems to center the entity in themiddle of the square. What do you press to get it to snap to a wall, like say you were placeing a wall lamp and didn't want to do guesswork. Im not looking to place a lamp, but a wall type entity where a wall should be. The answer to this question will result in a semi decent reward for the community in models and media.

No accually that's for stacking. Here is what I'm trying to do. I made a wall out of multiple pieces, 9 in fact. Nad Im hoping to create a wall that when an explosion occurs will blow the dynamic pieces away, making a breakable wall. I'm haveing doubts it will work though

The thing is all the entities have to be placed exactly in the same spot.

I would model the fake wall, animate it and then set up the fpe to have the animation frames, then make a fpi file for activating the animation when you blow some thing up. You would add the script to say, a box, destroy it and the entity will play. But give the box the same name as the fake wall for the if used name.

Thanks higgins, I was thinking of doing the box destroy type of animation but was hopeing to do a wall that accually used physics to tell where the pieces went, But i think the pysics may work against me. Kinda like building a wall with bricks like you and I discussed, but with jagged pieces instead.

I could model you an accurate exploding wall which would look like the physics engine, if you want?
