LordFrosting Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 So I was throwing together a truck and I got everything for the most part in place. But the shocks are sticking out of the body: Can someone tell me what things I need to change to fix this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LordFrosting Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Not use the old body. It was the only body I have. I'm just reusing parts from different trucks and packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LordFrosting Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 lower the shock nodes in the .truck file Thanks! May I ask which nodes are the shock node? I am a little new to some of the things in the .truck file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mark Colineri Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 You don't need to lower the entire node to move the shocks. Actually, that is the wrong way to do it if you want to maintain the handling of the truck Just go to the prop line and lower the shock models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rockgod88 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That only works very slightly (Fr0m when i tried at least) Or u could lowwr it in blender ( the mesh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mark Colineri Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It works quite well actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rockgod88 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Mmm ill try that on my trucks then cuz i usally i place the node correctly whith the chassis then replace the mesh from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Outlawed Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Moving the shock node is great if your going for proper scale suspension, if not your just removing suspension travel. In the shock prop line you this is what it looks like (you will have to move the shock body, coil and shock shaft) 30,69,64, -0.025, 0.039, -0.06, -270, 270, 0, SSRSCCshock.mesh 69,30,64, 0.3, 0.039, -0.0, 0, 90, 270, CCshockshaft.mesh First three numbers are the reference nodes the meshes use for movement perimeters. The first decimal number is to move a mesh up and down, second number is to move left and right and the last decimal number is to move front to back. You will have to tinker with the numbers a bit though, use increments of 0.1 or 0.05. The meshes move drastically to small number changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Outlawed Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 obviously the meshes listed are not going to be the ones you need to move, I just copy pasted the lines from the SMRA Canadian Crippler. Also if need be you can use negative numbers (Obvious but I just wanted to make sure you are aware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
