Spring RTS Engine

I have this object


base
-cube
-hat

I want it to be

cube
-base
--hat
(I will the rename cube to base, and base to body...)

I can get as far as

base
-cube
--base
---hat

But I can't delete parent objects... either tell me how I can do it... or concider this a request for an update to upspring...

Start over.

ok, first... create a blank object under hat ... base2

paste base in that... so that base 2 is the same as base

cut cube and paste it on the old base...

paste a second hat... hat 2

paste base 2 on hat

then copy hat 2 onto what used to be base2...



easy.

Would you like to give me a detailed step by step tutorial on exporting a UV mapped 3 piece object from wings and making sure it's imported with the correct hierarchy?

Becaue I did start over again when I found out that importing the three objects individually corrupted the UV mapping...

@Smoth... I don't get it... how can I replace one object with another? when I cut/copy and then paste... it pastes as a child object

@Smoth... I don't get it... how can I replace one object with another? when I cut/copy and then paste... it pastes as a child object

lets' make this simple

I have

Parent
-Child

I want

Child
-Parent

step one would be to copy parent to child

Parent
-Child
--Parent2

step 2 would be to make Child the base object...

your saying to "replace Parent with Child"... that's exactly what I am trying to do.. please explain dow to do so.

Figured out that I can save the object, and then import it to replace the baser object...

Well, you could do it with replaceing and renameing, or start over in upsrping.
But the root must be called 'base', or else it will get borged.

I guess I can add a swap button...

Use the trick noize posted about, just cut everything before creating a new empty, then paste over the empty, tada, new base.

ah... I didn't understand the way he said it somehow... that'll work.
