any help?

Your materials are out of sequence ie: 134256
or there is something untextured.

I changed every polygon to 1 on the model,then retextured it,and after that it still gave me a error,I unhide all faces,a couple more appeared,and then I selected,set to 1,and then retextured,and I still have a problem,also does the frame need to have a texture or what?

Maybe when you are trying to give all the faces an id of 1, the backface select is checked?
Unhide all and make sure you have all faces selected, give id.
In material editor, in the 1st slot, reselect multimaterial and set # of materials to 1 ( if thats possible)
Drag to model.
If you are using any exporter other than Blitzkreig then you need to convert to mesh before export.

If multimaterials does not work then try using standard materials (or vise versa)

Well, I pretty much closed 3ds max,and loaded the model un edited (it is the halo 3r street cone model)and tried everything agian,didn't get that error,but got couldn't update edge, and started deleting faces that re overlapping/double faces,and now only have a few more to go :D

isnt the title "Error with CUSTOM model when trying to build model and collision.."? =\

dont lie pakar

first of all, in my first post guess what, I had a box called blob,just wanted to see if I could get it ingame,second post,I did the cone so yeah first it was custom now it's not :\

Cusotm Model? You mean the HALO 3 RIPPED STREET CONE?

yeah for my second post,when I posted it was just a box. then I deleted that,and now I am using the cone and am still working on getting it ingame. I took a long break.
