I can't enter my vehicle

[Shrooms]

I scaled the sherman to a large size now I can't drive it..... ???? I also set up a spawn point for the allied team on this map which enters the vehicle on spawn but that spawn point does not show up! The debugger doesn't give me any errors on map load. How should I go about seeing how to fix this? It can blow up and be repaired like normal too.

[BotHunter]

Enter on spawn I think is only for bots. The reason you cant get in is probably because the entry radius is too small. Try enlarging that.

[Shrooms]

I've tried changing the entry radius to many differing values and positions. Is there a possibility that if a pco has an animated bundle assigned and the .ske and .skn for that object aren't properly made would that lead to shutting down pco operations?

[Vilespring]

I don't know what your problem is, I'm betting the entry radius. Put it's code in for us.
I know that a PCO can run with barely anything, because I made a barrel that somebody can hide in, and it could be pushed around, smashed, and exploded. So, I doubt a bad animated bundle is the problem.

[Shrooms]

OK here's the code

I just found out part of the problem now but it's impractical to pilot at the shape it's in. You can see how it floats and it also shakes..

[Django]

I believe you just scaled the mainmesh up in 3DSMAX. And you moved the origin of the mesh this way. All invisible parts of the vehicle ( the invisible wheels, the springs, the player positions...) are usually bound to the origin. So the origin should be still at 0/0/0.
If you open your vehicle via the vehicle Importer of the MDT you will get the idea.

[Vilespring]

you scaled the position of all the parts, didn't you?
some positions do not get scaled

[Shrooms]

I did scale all of the parts and I've accommodated the positions for each object. Here I've added a box to the geometry of the pco and it has balanced the tank.

[BotHunter]

How did adding a box help?
