Does anyone know why some times weapons stay standing up when they spawn or are dropped? When i drop the weapon it bounces and stays pointing in the direction if was pointing when it fell and they dont automatically lie flat. i'm sure i'm not the only one with this problem. if anyone has a fix for this help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming this only occurs for custom weapons?

No not always but my battle rifle has that problem.

Battle Rifle = Custom Weapon.

Why don't you log on and help me figure this out?

Its a check box in the weapon that is called "maintain z axis up" or something like that.

Yea its disabled and i checked it against a weapon that is normal and they are both unchecked.

I dunno then, maybe check in sapien to see if it was deliberately rotated in a particular map?

Learn to make a fricken #groundpoint marker.

This. I've made that mistake a few times.

Does it involve using 3dsmax to make one? if not make a simple explanation

You know all those little blue spheres? The ones on your weapon? Duplicate one, move it to the center of your model then rename it #ground point.

Well i guess i'm screwed because i cant import GBX models into 3dsmax with the gbx model importer.. it just didn't work for me.

Go into Guerilla, open both your assault rifle tag and your battle rifle tag (or whichever one you're having trouble with).

Go down to the markers section (below permutations) for the assault rifle, and look for the ground point marker. Leave the window there. Go to the other window, and look for the ground point node/marker in there as well. It'll either be under the Nodes section or the Markers section.

Copy the assault rifle's rotation coordinates onto your weapon's rotation coordinates. It will be the ones marked i, j, k, and w. Save it as a separate model, in case it isn't right. Test in-game. It SHOULD lie down right then, but some weapons are different from others.

That's just plain mean.


The GBXmodel importer works for me, if you import the Assault Rifle and the Battle Rifle somehow, then you can compare where the points are, and replace them, you can also do in Kornman00 what drillinstructor said, it's what you prefer, all it basically is is replacing stuff lol
This year i'm going for Kornman00, 3dsmax eats time!

Whenever I use the model importer the weapon isn't rigged.

its also plain true

and thats why you check off the box that says "import weights"
