Hi,

This message is more for the Developers than anyone else but if anyone has any ideas what can be done to resolve it I will greatly appreciate it.

I bough a model and thanks to smallg it's now imported to GG but has a small problem that we can't figure out. When you place it in the map Editor it looks fine but when you run Testmode or Stand Alone the model spawns 2 feet above ground level. I have tried tweaking the offy and Defaulthight from 0 all the way to -100 but it always spawns 2 feet above ground level during game.

below is the FPE and a small video of what it does. I would love to get this working 100%. I believe the hardest part was already been taken care of thanks to smallg and this must be a GG issue that won't let you orientate the model. Any though?

check the video below.

Does it still hover when scale is at 100%?

This is likely down to how it's rigged. Is the scene root at 0,0,0 in the 3D scene?

You can also open the x file in framgotion and take a look at the scene root, and modify if needed.

At 100% is fine. But looks too small.

Use Fragmotion to scale it up.
Import the x file then choose select all.. then transform options.
check only the scale. and dubbel check that mesh and bones are selected.

I will try this. Once i scale it up I should be setting it at 100% in the fpe correct?

Yep, fpe scaled characters now don't work correctly and offy is no longer in use. Shrunk/scaled characters sink into the ground and expanded ones float. I've just had to go through many, many characters and do what Harry outlined.

i was able to scale it but the animation stretches. Looks fine in fragMOTION but not in GG. Any other ideas?
