Matt-Liell Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 You need to create the tag_flash at the top of your saber. Create a triangle and name it tag_flash and convert it to an editable poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt-Liell Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Ok, so you have your saber. lets say it is this I hope you are using gmax or 3DSM: l---------l-top l...........l l ......... l l ....... l l...........l l-------- l-bottom Now go to Shapes, then choose "line" and create a triangle. Rename the triangle to tag_flash. Then right click on it and scroll down to "Covert to" and choose "Editable poly" then the trian;ge will look like this: l\ l \ --- Then position the triangle like this where you want the blade to come out.

junior Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Hey Mike....I got the bale to show up by adding that tag statement you mentioned to the qc file shown below....but the sabre is pointing the wrong way.....it's not vertically out of the top of the hilt. Is there some parameter that i need to add to the tag statement? // Quake III Arena MD3 control file, generated by MilkShape 3D // $model "Models/weapons2/saber/model.md3" // reference frame //$frames -1 -1 // frame 1-1 $frames 1 1 $flags 0 $numskins 0 // you can have one or no parent tag //$parenttag "tag_flash" // tags $tag "tag_flash" // meshes (surfaces) $mesh "Lft-Legs" $skin "Models/weapons2/saber/Saber.jpg" $flags 0 $mesh "Han-Grp" $skin "Models/weapons2/saber/Saber.jpg" $flags 0 $mesh "Rt-legs" $skin "Models/weapons2/saber/Saber.jpg" $flags 0 $mesh "SP-Body" $skin "Models/weapons2/saber/Saber.jpg" $flags 0 $mesh "Spike" $skin "Models/weapons2/saber/Saber.jpg" $flags 0 Thanks man.
