Vehicle problem

[zupafly]

Hi,

A modeler made me a vehicle for my mod but i cant seem to get it ingame.
Ive imported into unrealed following udn svehiclecreation document etc.
He did not make bones for the suspension, just for the wheels + main body linked to it. I coded a quick class to get it ingame but he complains about the mesh not being a skeletal mesh in my log file once i try to summon it ingame. If i change the mesh to scorpion mesh it works so i know its the mesh but shouldnt it work ? Cause skeletal mesh is that there are bones in it right ?

What software are you using to build / setup the mesh?

IF you are building in Max, you don't need bones, but you MUST set up the hierarchy correctly for UEd to interpret as bones on import.

If you are using Maya....well...I don't have a clue

it does see the bones, unrealed i mean. The modeler used 3dmax and unrealed sees the bones, 5 of them, one for body and 4 for wheels. He didnt do suspension but is it neccesary to do so ? I can view the bone names etc in unrealed and still game doesnt show any mesh and give no skeletal mesh error in my log file

Hmm...assuming you had the thing as an editable mesh and fully triangulated, it ought to be fine.
Can't think of anything else that would cause the problem....
