Adjusting for JP's Jawa

JP-30 is allowing me to use his Jawa skin, but I need to compensate a bit on it since it's actually sunk up to the knees. When the player dies, it sinks below the floor. Can I use SetThingPos() or something on a killed message to raise it up out of the floor? I haven't tried yet, just wanted opinions.

Thats not a cog problem, rather an error in the model. You need to correct the offset.

GBK,

It's intentionally offset like that. The jawa is meant to be short. If I change the offset, he'll float.

I was just thinking of adding something to the killed message to move him up.

Make another model with the offset corrected. Put two models in kyle.cog: one for the normal jawa, one for the corrected one. In the killed message:
Code:
if(GetThingModel(player) == jawaModel) {
   SetThingModel(player, jawaCorrected);
}

And in the respawn or whatever message:
Code:
if(GetThingModel(player) == jawaCorrected) {
   SetThingModel(player, jawaModel);
}

Hope it helps.

Hmm...that might work.
