Zmodeler 3 Model Problem

  • Hey all! It's been a few years now since I've done any modeling with Zmodeler3, it seems my brain has gone to shit and I can't remember how to properly mod anymore. Anyways, I've re-followed tutorials on youtube, I feel like I created my ELS lights right, but every time I spawn the model into the game, I'm getting a problem where the car isn't spawning in correctly and looks like this down bellow, also whenever I activate ELS it's flashing some of the model on and off... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If anyone has any advice how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.


    Thank you!

  • It looks like you may have hit the 128 hierachy object/bone limit for the vehicle. Easy way to tell is when you export it in the dialog box at the bottom it will say hierachy items and a number, if it says more then 128 it is probably the cause and you'll need to combine parts to get it under 128 so the car will spawn properly.

  • Thank you! That fixed one of my problems now I have another problem protruding-... The car is appearing to sit too low, the tires aren't appearing and the doors also aren't functioning after attaching the MicroPulse heads to them.. and extra_1 is stuck on. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here but it's certainly giving me a headache.

  • Make sure the car name dummy (charger_hi or whatever yours is in zmod) and the chassis are both centered on the world. If their axis looks off just use the Display tool Reset to World on them both and that might solve the issue as that can cause all sorts of parts to go out of whack. As for the Extra if you're using ELS it takes control of extras and can cause them to spawn on or off and not be toggled due to it taking over control, you'd need to set up an ELS file and flip the lights on and off to possibly fix that or try toggling once and then repair the car as that can force the toggle to work. If not ELS controling the extra then I'd check the meta and make sure no flags or extra sections are attempting to control extras on the car.
