Are the surface you're trying to use to merge the sectors adjoined to the other sectors? You can't merge non-adjoined sectors.

Well NO.. BUT There is LIke 5 sectors! that i need to be merged.. .. what about that?

Why do you need to merge sectors? If it's a 3do, then just export the model, and it will merge it all together for you.

Well is says expot sector(s) to 3do..i thaugh it had to be merged as one sector to make a 3do

Older versions of JED could only export one sector as a 3do. I think the tutorial on the subject came out when that restriction was still in effect.

Now, you can multiselect and export as many sectors as you like as one 3do. (I just learned this.)

What Quality said is correct. The tutorial says to merge all the sectors because it was made for an older version of Jed.

You have to make sure the model has the right mesh name. First, open up the 3do in JED, and select all the sectors, (there should be only one, since it's a 3do). Now hit enter, and change the layer to (I think) KYRHAND (I don't remember if that's right, but if it isn't, then someone can correct me...) Now, hit F4, and you will see a list of all the layers (there should be two, Layer0, and KYRHAND) Click on the button that says "Delete Unused." Now there should only be HYRHAND. Now, save the model as strv.3do I think that should help... The model should now show up in the internal view. You'll probably still need to do some tweaking to get it to line up properly, though... Some of the tutorials are *very* helpful when making new weapons...

Actaully Sarn_Cadrill, the name of the mesh and node names don't have to be k_rhand. JK doesn't care for this at all (I know since I made weapon meshs that don't use k_rhand at all and they still work). Try doing this to your model Spawn. Open up your 3do in JED and try to make the handle of your weapon be a seperate sector (or try to move the gun to a the center of the game world in JED so the the center of the handle is at around 0.0 0.0 0.0 on the grid) and export the 3do again. Then, open the 3do in wordpad and go down to the bottom where the 3do's hierarchy section is at and change the X Y Z position of the first (and only) node to "0.0 -0.01 0.0" This should place the gun's handle into the position of the player's right hand.

Ok I Did What You Said But It Didn't Work,, i Load up JK And Then Go To First Person Switch to my gun and i am shooting out of thin air.. can you help me there?

------------------
"I Am The Prince Of All Saiyans Once Again!"

i get everything about jk except the stupid weapon crap..i think the tutorials need to be rewritten for the weapins and they need to be a bit more specific on what exactly you do...there are points i feel that i they are assuming i know how to do something that i cant figure what they want me to do...

EXACTLY!
