Would anyone be able to tell me how to make a marker in a model export without being linked to a node? (using the jms exporter script) I need some of the markers to be in the top "markers" part of the gbxmodel tag, instead of in the markers section under "permuations".
Heres what I mean:

Why do you want to move them? They still function the same unless you have multiple parts.

Most of the models will have multiple parts, and i need some markers to always be there and some to be attached to certain perms so they are only active when the perm is

You could always use HEK+'s Kornman00 guerilla mod to move them over...

Will it work if you just don't link them to a node?

Hmm...
I think you can only do it one way or the other...
So give each marker a unique name to signify it's position? Unless you have multiple type-specific ones such as primarytrigger...

Just name each marker the same and link it to each node.

I guess that would work... but every gbxmodel tag ive looked at wether its a weapon, vehicle, biped or whatever they have all the markers in the top section and none in the bottom section...

Actually, most vehicles have them linked to region permutations...

Though most of the time they are all linked to the frame of the model.

in all the vehicles i looked at the markers were also in the top section, and usually had multiple instances... I guess ill just have to leave them or spend ages moving them with kornman00 which is a pain because it usually errors on my new computer

Well just try not to leave any in the lower section. I'm going to assume it will crash if you have markers in both sections...

Its best if you don't mess with the markers in Guerilla.

Meh. I mess with them all the time, but mostly just changing position, and adding more. Just don't change the angles unless you know a working set, or know how to calculate the last value perfectly...

This is how most of the vehicles work in my grunt maps =P Took forever to position them on the warthog in a way that doesn't look completely crappy.
