Orgins.

<div class="IPBDescription">crap, quick question.</div> need to know this quickly! How do I re-orgin a weapon? I converted a FA gun into NS, and everything works, but its like...behind my head a lot so all I can see is the barrel.

Where in the .qc do I edit it?

Its not actually there, you have to add it yourself.

Example would be like

$origin .5 3 -.5

funbags

how do I know what to put, if it doesnt give me something to start out with? Guess n Check?

(btw, thanks a lot.)

edit: And where in the qc do I put the $origin?

also, what do the numbers stand for? (I know generally, but specificaly, what is the order? xyz?

Are you using jHLMV? If not be shure to get it, its great for re-origining models. You can grab it <a href='http://www.wunderboy.org/3d_games/utils/hlmv.php' target='_blank'>here</a>. After you install it there's a tab called Weapon Origin, here you can test your origins for the the X Y and Z untill you get it right. After that go into your .qc file and add the line $origin with you new X Y and Z values, like this

$origin X Y Z

I hope that helps.

Edit: Ok, here is a real quick re-origin I did to a shotgun model so you can see what it looks like, here is the .qc.

easiest way would be adjusting the FPS in the qc <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

$origin doesnt work alone, you need the $eyeposition line in there too. or i know my origin lines never work without it.
ie, my hmg's origins:

<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->$origin 0 2 .5
$eyeposition 0 0 0<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

i've tried just using $origin alone and it never, never works for me alone.

CaptainPanaka

hm... yep... I always put the $origin UNDER $eyeposition and it works... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

well it works fine, but the arm is clipping right threw the gun. it should be holding the foregrip, but its "Holding" the reciever. Any ideas how to fix this? I thought it was a model thing..

wrong bone attached maybe? well... if you want to check the "origin" of the gun, import the ref files and also the idle animation. now you can see how the gun *would* look like when compiled and move it around so it fits <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
