Static Orb Problem - Pshyched - 06-29-2013

I have a problem, I am wondering if it is possible to make to make the 'Entities/Special/Orb' Entity Not static. I want to be able to move it, but I am unable to. Any way around this at all?


RE: Static Orb Problem - The chaser - 06-29-2013

You can create a new entity which you can grab and move. If you see yourself unable to do this, I can do it for you Wink


RE: Static Orb Problem - Pshyched - 06-29-2013

If you could, I would be extremely grateful! Smile

Here you have!

http://www.mediafire.com/download/61c59l43bafa0bg/orb_grab.zip

Installation: Decompress the .ent file to entities<special<orb
When releasing the story, make an "entity" folder, make another one called "orb_grab" and put the .ent there.


Enjoy Wink

Okay, so how do I make the orb_grab.ent work with the current orb model?

What? I'm afraid I don't understand your question, Pshyched:

What I have done is another entity with different settings for the orb: The mesh and almost everything is the same, but now the orb is like a box you can grab and throw.


RE: Static Orb Problem - Pshyched - 06-29-2013

My apologies, I was thinking it would override the other Orb. I figured it out, thank you.

Also, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I have tried and tried, but failed to see what is wrong. I have double checked everything, but of course it does not work.

No, I am not in Developer mode.
