[Solved] Need help. Cannot get a custom lock to render

[MrChoke]

I want to create a few different colored locks. I know we don't have the asset pack yet but I know we can use LoG1 models. I cannot seem to get the custom lock to render.

NOTE: I cannot even get it to render when I use one of LoG 2's lock models!!

I don't get it. I have made custom keys, even custom walls and they work. This lock will not. My simple code is:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "white_lock",
   	baseObject = "lock_gold",   	
  	components = {
  		{
   			class = "Model",
   			model = "assets/models/env/wall_lock.fbx",
	   	},
    },
    placement = "wall"
}

Notice how I am re-using a model in grimrock2.dat itself and it still won't render. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Looks like I need to specify offset values for these models. I thought it wasn't rendering until I pulled it out of the wall and into open space. And then I see it was half rendered into the floor and totally behind the wall, hence I couldn't see it.

I guess FYI for those that may have this problem in the future. Some of the models need an offset.

You can also easily reposition them with the Grimrock Model Toolkit using the translation feature. Have it generate a 3x3 room, and you can see where your model will reside by default (without offsets), then move the model(s). Take care, -Lark
