Mount point(s) problem

by Kimberly Unger · in Torque Game Engine · 09/08/2003 (10:18 am) · 1 replies

We are trying to create a player that has two (2) weapons premounted. The player is a vehicle and we have created two mount points (mount0, and mount1). these points are about 160 degrees apart. The weapons Caled B and S have the following in there respective cs files

B.cs
.
.
mountPoint = 0;

S.cs
.
.
mountPoint = 1;

Weapon B mounts just fine on the ship's mount0, but Weapon S is getting mounted to Contrail0 and not Mount1;

We followed the examples given with Deathcar. What is happening?

Try mounting these to the next highest slot you have based on the number of seats you have.. Remeber that mount0 is the drivers position and each passenger takes a mount slot after that, so If you have a 2 person car, mounts 0 and 1 are used. Next mount your weapons on mount2 and 3..

In your weapons image datablock you should be able to set its offset in x, y, z and align the weapons up accordingly. The option may not be writen there but it does exist.

offSet = "x y z";

If you need an example of this I believe I have a working one, just let me know if you cannot get it working. There should be no reason to edit the engine for multiple mounts.
