3D Editor Problem?

[soldier2390 0]

Hello community!

My appologizes if this is not in the right section. My problem is when creating a mission useing the 3D Editor I place alot of objects and save...then after it saved, everything is messed up. Meaning every object is serously out of place!

For example, say I place a Bunker then place a MG in it, when I save it the MG will be half in the Bunker and half throw the Bunker! Which can be annoying when I am building one of my Bases Templates. Any way to fix this? Or can BIS fix it in the up coming 1.60 finial release????

I dont think the 3d Editor has been touched by BIS since release of Arma2, dont expect 1.60 to have any fixes for it.

Theres also already threads about the 3d editor, you should do a search as that would be following the forum rules and see what other folks have found out.

Personally I find it faster to use the 2d editor.

recently had the same issue as you and found out, once saved & loaded everything is displaced. But now, readjust them again and save & load once again, most objects remain now placed correctly. There are a few which just wont keep their position but most will.

So after loading, readjust, save & load and (almost) everything is fine.

Thanks myke n gunter, myke I have noticed that two but that still is highly annoying...I'm known for my bases templates and recently lost an entire map with atleast a hundred objects... :(

i know it's annoying, i'm myself in the process of creating a mission using the 3D editor. Actually i set up a small bit (max 2 dozen objects), then save, newly adjust the now generated mess and then save again. From then on, they shouldn't mess up anymore and i can build up the next bit.

Myself i also would welcome if BIS would fix this but i'm affraid that this isn't something of high priority on their list.

3d editor is good for placing objects down to set the scene of a mission, but thats where its capabilities end im afraid. And yes, trying to do complex object stacking (like barrels stacked on top of each other, for example) will bug out every time you save. I found from my experience that so long as two objects are not touching (phasing into) eachother, they will save properly (but this still fails with large steel pipes for some reason)
