My radar spinning around....my entire model!

[brsseb 0]

Hi

Made a small ship (class derived SmallShip) and wantet to have a radar. Made teh osa_radar in Memory LOD (two vertices) and a rectangular block in main lod named "radar". But once ingame it wont spin around its axis, but instead it seems to orbit the entire ship like a small satelitt or an anoying bug flying around in circles.

Is the osa_radar axis name wrong? Or is the answer in the configfile?

Hi brsseb

It seems the radar class for ships is different from the tank class. Here is the code I used in the tiger gunboats:

class IndicatorRadar

{

selection = "radar";

axis = "osa radaru"; // this is the axis point you need to change

angle = -360;

min = 0;

max = 1;

};

By the way check that you have 2 axis points for the axis, otherwise some strange animations happen.

Cheers

Hi

Changed the osa_radar selection to osa_radaru but it still wont work. Maybe its because ive inherited from SmallShip class and small ships dont have radar....?!?

Hmm. Should've worked. I inherited Bigship class, but as far as I know the PBR uses boatw which is inherited from smallship.

Sorry it didn't work.
