Whatzit? Hierarchy? (3do)
2005-08-04, 8:50 AM #1
I undertook a new 3do project recently, a "natural bridge" 3do that's hollow on the inside, like a tremendous straw. "UNREALISM," right?

The 3do has exported like a charm, except that the "clickpoint" of the Thing is significantly distanced from the actual architecture of the 3do. The selection point is way off in space, to the extent that it won't fit in the same sector. Old problem for all you guys, I'm sure. What part of the 3do document do I have to fix? Hierarchy?

open the 3do and make sure it's near the center of the grid.

"I wonder to myself. Why? Simply why? Why why? Why do I ask why? Why do I need to find out why? Why do I have to ask why as a question? Why is why always used to find out why? Why is the answer to why always why? Why is there no final answer to why? Simply why not? Holy cow, this is pretty deep, meaningful **** I wrote. Glad I wrote it down. Oh man."

Thanks, but I'm afraid I've already tried this. Know any other ways?

look at the 3do's hierarchy and check where the position of the main parent node is, it may be far from the origin. Just cos the model is in the centre, doesnt mean its main dummy node is, ya dig daddio??? can ya dig it?

open 3do hierarchy and the positions of each node should be on the right, and simply change it to 0 0 0
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Get JOKE program, as it will be easier to spot the positioning error than in notepad.
This is retarded, and I mean drooling at the mouth
