bloc? im trying to swap it with a Mode.... Vending machine.mode.... is that what im doing wrong?

...you can't shoot a model out. A model isn't even an object; engine can't handle it, so, capooey, crashes. That's DEFINITELY what you were doing wrong.

yeah, it is, but now i need an idea on fixing something.... when you spawn a LOT of soda machines, wierd stuff hapens, like say you have 55 soda machines on the ground, and the next one is placed on top, so it cant touch the ground, it will dissapear if it cant find the ground, and for what im planning, i need to pile a LOT of them, is there a way to stop them from dissapearing?

No; that's happening because of overloading. Same thing happens when you try to collect all of the fusion cores on, say, Waterworks, and put them into one pile. Eventually one or two disappear.

i dont mean it like that, it can happen with only 4 soda machines... and ive got a LOT more than 3 on headlong before, the only way i can force it to happen is when i try to put many soda machines ontop of eachother in a pile,
like, i can have so many sodamachines on the level it will cause extreme lag, they dont even dissapear then, the only time they start dissapeearing, is when i try to stack them ontop of eachother.....

bah, instead of explaining heres a vid... http://www.potholestudios.xmgfree.com/soda.wmv

the first half of the vid shows about 15 sodamachines in a small area dissapearing, in the second half, i went on a rampage ald left soda machines everywhere to see if i could get the game to lag, (if your wondering where the hanging beam and the panel are... thhey dissapeard before i got half that amount of soda machines out... they only dissapear when thier stacked... is there a way to disable that annoying dissapear shit? otherwise i will have to think of a new way to put a couppla hundred sodamachines flattening somone in the next vid of totally random.

I Agree.. This has happened to me before, something so simple, but you just cant rember lol

At least this forum is only filled with loving people who never flame and are always willing to help.

We are here for you . so anytime someone cant shoot something out msgs me, cuz its so simple even i can help lol

P.S. in part of that i was joking. can you guess which part COUGH loving people COUGH no flamers COUGH always willing to help COUGH
lol, i love this site. now i need to go and get some cough medicine

dazzajay · Post by **dazzajay** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 11:00 pm

lol, yeah, no flamers.... thats a good one... (says the person (me) who just finished doing a big flame on some noob wanting help with BOOSTING of all fucking things...)

so, anyone figure out why the soda machines dont like to stack?

SyrinEldarin · Post by **SyrinEldarin** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 6:43 am

That still seems to me like object overloading

. It's part of the game engine, I'm pretty sure, and it's not something you can change. No doubt I'll get pwned five ways sideways in a day or two when somebody finds it in a scnr meta property...

oh well, thats cool, i will just have to think up a different idea for the scene that falling sodamachines to be used in....

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 10:42 am

why do you want falling soda machines? Any way if you want falling soda machines just do what i did for the bus, set the spawn of the projectile higher and have it fall. It's funny when you set it too high and it falls on someone and kills them.

that is baisicly whats gonna happen, (its for the next ep of my series)
picture a dude walking sown the street, and theen lots of soda machines fall from the sky.... flattening him.... i would add more bit it gives away most of the storyline.

:::EDIT:::
well, i filmed in a different place, and i pulled it off, i will post a link in here to the vid when its done (probly tomorow)
