Is it possible to stop a grenade spinning after it's thrown? If you don't know what I'm talking about, change the frag grenade to a rocket, compile, and test it ingame. Is it possible to make it fly straight?

i think it had something to do with changing the center of the bone, since it revolves around its axis... or don't rig it, just give give it a skin and don't give it weights, maybe that helps, i'd have to try it but i can't right now

i don't think what i said was right, i couldn't find spinning in either tag

it must be, look at the grenade arrows on paintswamp v1.

If you dont link the model to any frame, then it cant export or compile or be able to get ingame.

midway down the tag, "oriented along velocity" flag; that will aim it where its going.

EDIT: might want to note, "projectile" tag instead of just tag lol

Could it be animated to spin?

then it's good that i never said that you don't have to link it, stop making stuff up

what i meant in my post, is that if you don't weight it, it will just stay in the pose you exported it in. since it's not an animation, the moving, it will move along cus it moves the gbxmodel as a whole. the animation of spinning shouldn't happen and it should stay straight because the spinning is an animation, i think

or just zet all values if what kirby said is there somewhere

It's in the game engine or something. All grenades must spin D:

Thanks kirby though. It didn't stop it spinning, but it now does what I wanted it to do.

weighting it and linking it is the same thing. You link the model to the frame, it moves. You rig the model to the frame, it moves. You dont link or rig the model to the bones, it doesnt export.
And linking the model is easier than exporting it with a skin modifier. You should only use skin modifier when its a biped with bones.

could be the ground point. or the frame. im not sure, but i think both of those things are off to one side of the model, so move them back to the center and it should work
