I was wondering if anyone here that had some free time would like to help me out by making my spiral ramp all connected together. All it really needs is for the spiral ramp in the tube to be welded to the tube. PM me or post if you can help me out. Thanks.

er, its like a spiral ramp thing. its just a spring inside a tube so it looks nice. I just dont have the experiace to make it look like its all ones piece.

just remember the MC can only run up 45 degree angles...
or you could modify that in geurilla. whichever you do, be careful b/c ppl could just stroll right out of the level.

I know, if it's too much of an angle i can just make the spring have more turns. Do you guys think it looks too steep now?

This may sound like a dumb question but once you convert something to an editable mesh is there a way to still edit the radius or # of turns on a spring? i cant seem to find it...

i kno how to in max 6 and gmax u go to the thing u click on when u make it a editable mesh then clcik on the part where u made the spring but usually u get problems when u edit it if u moved it around to much...

uh, i dont understand what your trying to say..

If you right clicked convert to editable mesh then no, there is not. If you added editable mesh as a modifier then yes you can, just click the name at the bottom of the modifier list.

Sorry I cant help you but I do like the tower idea alot and cant wait for your map to be finished.

Yeah, i think im gonna work on it for a while today. Once i get it done i will try to export it to a 3ds file for everyone. I could also use some help with making my base. I only need one made because im just going to copy it and put it on the other side then change a few things my self. The inside isint going to be complex at all. If anyone is interested just email me at sales@massmods.com and i will email you the concept drawings and stuff.

Can i make the spring just go into th walls or is that gonna give me an over lapping face issue or such?

black_light · Post by **black_light** » Sun May 23, 2004 3:01 pm

I just tried that idea and ran an STL check and i got no errors. Does this mean my idea will work?
