stableStrawPlane not showing ...

[W1der]

Just realized that the stableStrawPlane is not showing the "animation" and no straw is showing when loading on the map edit I am working on.
Straw is detected in the animal menu though.

The same for both cows and pigs ...

This is the first map I do ... so I am pretty clueless where to "troubleshoot" ...
Everything else regarding the animals seems to be working fine.

Any pointers?

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. In GE the animation doesn't seem to do anything here, so I tested mine in the game and it worked fine - I dropped straw in and it works.
But if you cant see it listed in your GE transforms, then you need to import it.
Here's what my scenegraph looks like


and the straw plane should be just out of sight under the stable floor, if that's any help.

OK ... my bad, as I do not know what the issue is I did not really know how to explain it.
But your reply helped me regarding this.

I will make some screenshots tonight to better explain the situation ...

"and the straw plane should be just out of sight under the stable floor, if that's any help."

As I know the height of the ground level ... do we know what the difference should be to the straw plane?

[masseyharris]

I don't know if the transform coordinates will be consistent between our different maps.
But my ground level is exactly 100 under the cow shed, and the height of my strawPlanes transform is 89.8. (stableStrawPlane and alpha are zero)

The strawPlanes transform is just out of sight under the ground and if I move it even a tiny bit upward it begins to show through the ground.

Just open another map and look how the plane is showing there. If I remember correctly it's in the editor completely visible. But take this with a pinch of salt. But if the straw is showing in the animal menue than it seems yo be a simple game of the right position.
Kind regards

OK ... so basically ... you guys think that the "level" of the plane is the issue!?

I allready tried adjusting it accordingly to the standard GCV map that I have been using as a "reference" for most stuff when creating my own map.
This was "just barely visible".
I will adjust it slightly higher than before and make a new test!

One thing that struck me ...
Is it possible that I "erased something" when recreating the navmeshes for the animals!?

BigC92 ...
I will respond to you in a PM (to avoid cluttering this "highly important" topic) ...

I tried adjusting the "height" of the "plane" ... but I can not get it to work.
(Compared it with the standard GCV "plane".)

Any other suggestions as to where to look for the problem?
