in D3D,Attached actors wont stick permanently to parent

Post by Veleran » Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:56 am

Using the super fast opengl the tank turrets might run ok,sticking to their body but,(although i have nt tested it since 2003)
however,in d3d they re left behind like they re not fixed in the body when that moves.

in d3d Pawns generally jerk a littlel when they move,their movement is nt completely smooth.
I know this last one does nt look like a major bug,but it may have something to do with the attached turrets bugs.



I was thinking setting up a small level with two mech like-blue against and red ,(using a lower poly lod version of a mech model i was making as 3d modelling exercise).

But,that small low poly mech has normal maps that make it look better-that needs d3d to run it.
Do you think the turret jerk bug could be fixed and there might be another release with the fix or
should i try making the actors stuff look acceptable just using a diffuse without normal maps?

That's not really a matter of opengl vs d3d. It's an issue depending on the frame rate. Please, test with the current release and see if this still happens.

It works fine when the skeletons between the slave and Master Pawn are exactly the same.
I tried this way another command instead the AttachToActor ,the AttachAccessory to Pawn Hat and it sticks fine on the master actor.
Before that i was trying to optimize the skeleton systems by having only two bones for the attachment actor instead of the same skeleton with the master.
