Up Spring help

Post by aGorm »

Hi, another problem on my road to modding.. Up Spring. Its a realy easy question... How do I take an object thats a child of its parent and past it do its the parent.

If I click "swap" with both selected, everything but 1 disaperas.

If I try to past it it will always be a child object.

Its driving me nuts, I can't figure how this heierary stuff works on this thing!

Cut the child object, paste it in the root object, cut the former parent and paste it in the former child object so it becomes the new child. To move the the new parent/child simply cut the new parent and paste it elsewhere.

Are you sure? I've been testing this quite a lot. It can be that the new parent object just isnt opened in the object view. In that case just doubleclick it

Ah, but you see the parent is the Root... I cant seem to past it to ouside the root object. Unless someone knows how to link everything in wings so it imports right... But as far as I can see wings don't let you do heierarcy stuff. Basicly.. I need to swap the root object (which happens to be the chest) with one of its children (the pelvis).

No idea if you can swap the root object but you're probably faster off setting the s3o up from scratch. Just use the origins you used before from the old s3o, it's no more than a minute of work.
