How do I make a vehicle prop? [Solved]
I was wondering if there was any way to make a vehicle into a prop, so that, for example, i could have three at-st's lined up in a row, but instead of actual vehicles you can enter, they're simply props. I looked around the forums and tried an idea from one thread I found, but with no luck. Help would be much appreciated!

Re: How do I make a vehicle prop?
Which thread did you try an idea from?
In any regard, all you need to do (in most cases) is create a prop ODF for the vehicle.

Code: Select all

ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "vehicle_mesh_name.msh"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "vehicle_mesh_name"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

Re: How do I make a vehicle prop?
I honestly don't remember, ha ha. But I'm pretty sure it was the same thing you suggested to me. Anyways, I tried it, and it worked... kind of. This is what I wrote in the prop odf file, which I saved in my world's odf folder.
When I placed the prop in the editor as well as in-game it looked quite odd (i have screenshots ready to send but couldn't figure out how to embed pictures). I had no errors in my debug log either. So, what now?
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "imp_walk_atst.msh"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "imp_walk_atst"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

Re: How do I make a vehicle prop?
I believe that happens because you haven't assigned any animation to the prop.
Try this:
It will probably still look weird in Zero Editor but should look fine in-game. Be sure to copy the AT-ST animations to your map's munged folder.
Try this:
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "animatedprop"
GeometryName = "imp_walk_atst.msh"
[Properties]
GeometryName = "imp_walk_atst"
AnimationName = "imp_walk_atst"
Animation = "idle"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"

You can also find a static prop version of the stock AT-ST here:

Re: How do I make a vehicle prop?
So, everything seems to be in order now except, and I know this sounds crazy, the cockpit isn't in place. It's, like, half submerged in the ground.
UPDATE:
I found this error in the debug log, figured it would be helpful.
2nd update:
I went over everything again, and this time the solution AQT pointed me to worked. Everything is running smoothly now. Thanks a bunch for the help!
