characters disapear

[cassius]

When I change the name of a character in its properties it falls thru the floor. Before changing the name everything works fine.

This is a recent occurence. I am using le 2.43

Any help?? Is it a bug?

It has to do with your specific setup because i can change the oildrum's name and it doesn't fall through the terrain. Without seeing exactly what you are doing all we could possibly do is guess.

It only happens with characters. If I want a second instance of a character and change the name to make it a new character it drops thru the floor.

also in the general tab enabled and active are set to false. Chaning them also causes the model to drop thru floor.

EDIT:Maybe its different for characters. I just did copies of crates and oildrums without problems.

With each new object script, is the key for 'collision' being set to 'COLLISION_PROP' ? New instances run the constructor script.

 

Not at home to test, but this might help you

function class:CreateObject(model)
       local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)
       object.model:SetKey("collision","COLLISION_PROP")
end

I just tried changing the name on the LE soldier model that was on the asset store a while back. No problems with him falling through the floor. Setting it to prop collision in the editor makes it go a little crazy though. I guess that's why you add it in script? Although I wouldn't think that would make a difference. Is it possible for you to upload the mesh you are using Cassius?

I have no problem with the original character, its when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it to make a copy and then change the name of the copy in order to make it a different character that the problem occurs. And its not just changing the name that causes the problem, its changing anything.

 

If I load the character into uu3d and save it with a new name then the editor sees it as a different character and it works fine.

I had 2.42 before, so just updated to 2.43 and still cant replicate this Have you tried with the LE soldier model? I can't find the animated version on the forum anymore, but I could always upload it in this thread for you If i'm allowed to do that.

Thanks everyone for advice. I did a clean install last night and updated relavent files in my project folder but it makes no difference.

Normally if I am the only one to have the problem I assume I am doing something wrong, but on a couple of occasions in the past it HAS turned out to be a bug. Time will tell.
