I have a flagpole model, with one skin and I have a flag model with 9 skins. I want to merge them into one model, with the flagpole using it’s one skin, and when I use “my.skin = n;” I want it to only affect the flag part.

Is this possible, if so then how?

I think you have two ways to do it:

1) merge the two models in just one, unwrap, create 9 skins where the pole have the same painting and changing the flag´s part only;

2) attach (vec_for_vertex) the flag to the pole and you have two models, just call the flag´s skins with a pointer like flag.skin = x;

I hope it helps.

I was hoping that I could do it without creating two entities. The way of merging the skins, the pole with the flag, is risky. I've tried something like that before but I seamed to have messed it up.

I'll see what I can do...

A.Russell did a tutorial on merging 2 models and thier skins, it will show you how to get it working

Cool, where can I find this?

sorry, it was by Bobocop (I was thinking of the vertex attachment tutorial by A.Russel before )

you can find it in the med tutorial section on my Documents site link in sig.
