Weapon for Melee Resource

by AndrewOsborne · in Artist Corner · 07/13/2007 (4:41 am) · 3 replies

Hi,

This seems like a really simple error but I cannot seem to figure it out..

We have implemented the "server side melee" resource which advises to embed a 'damageStart' and 'damageEnd' node into the weapon.

Below is my heirachy in 3dsmax

However when I swing it on an enemy it causes no damage, What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Andrew

Check to ensure those nodes actually made it do the DTS. Any dummy node that has nothing as a child to it gets culled at exporter time, as such it likely never made it into your DTS shape. To correct this use a CFG file and add these two nodes to your always export list.

Ahh great point, will try that when I get back into the office.

Other than that the Heirachy is correct yes?
