Spoilers not working

Postby Happyapple96 » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:32 pm

I have 4 spoilers on the aircraft, I named them as:
L_Spoiler01
L_Spoiler02
R_Spoiler01
R_Spoiler02

I've also done the animation as showed in MakeMDL.doc:
Speedbrake/Spoiler      Schweizer      R_Spoiler, L_Spoiler      Key 0 = Retracted,

Hi there,

your name tags are correct for the animation. do you use stock animation or did you animate it manually? it should be manually (actually animated. Stock Animations don't need to be animated )

Are all your other animations working? also make sure your spoilers are linked to the Fuselage., and your fuselage linked to an exterior dummy....

[edit]EDIT:

Your first spoiler should be named L_Spoiler or R_Spoiler.

Thanks for tha advice, It's working now.

Pleasure. Also, I prefer to work as editable Mesh instead of poly's. ;)
