Mean ol' Model

[Mr. Chopper]

My model won't lay on it's side.

How can I force it to lay on its side? It's quite belligerent.

[Mr. Chopper]

ya know what? Nevermind!

[Mr. Chopper]

URRRGH... still not working

[War Master]

If it's for a single player map I would suggest giving it a spawnscript that instructs it to rotate 90 degrees down.

[rgoer]

If, however, it's for MP... you'll probably have to open up the .md3 file in milkshape and do the rotation in there... radiant only allows the rotation of misc_models about the "z" axis; for any other axis you need to do it in milkshape, then save the rotated model out as a new .md3 (which you place in /models/map_obejcts/your_map/).

Hey, the angles key. Beautiful; milkshape is for suckers ;^)

[Mr. Chopper]

Ya, I've already seen that too. That's why I initally put a "nevermind" post up, but that angles thing isn't working either, hence why I've continued posting.... how can I get my hands on a copy of milkshape?

[Leslie Judge]

For example by downloading it from c|net or tucows?

 

And I don't have an idea why that angles doesn't work for you, It works fine for me.

[Mr. Chopper]

Well how are you using it? In GTK radiant I do this

 

Key: Angles

Value: 0 180 0

 

for the entity properties.

I think that a normal "standing up" model would have "angles" values of "0 0 0" -- so if you want it to lie down (perpendicular to "up"), wouldn't you want "0 90 0" instead?

[Leslie Judge]

Exactly. Or try a very different value than 90 or 180 like 20 just to see what happens and to find the proper angle(s) you need.

[Mr. Chopper]

Um.... yeah..... right....I knew that....
