Help With Invisable Models

[Abokasee]

When ever I try to add a new model, it's inivisable, I've treid everything possible, (that I know Of) But I've got no where!

So whats wrong there? (You might notice Im trying to add Byzantine Pikemen)

ok, to clarify, you have the unit in game, such as unit cards, selectable units, etc, but the actual men aren't appearing on the screen when you go to battle?

[Abokasee]

Yes everything else works, just the unit dosnt appear on the battlefeild

ok, let's look a these lines of code now that i have some fresh eyes...


0 1 4 None 14 MTW2_Swordsman 0 2 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary 14 fs_test_shield 0 16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002

and


0 1 4 None 14 MTW2_Slow_Pike 15 MTW2_Non_Shield 1 17 MTW2_Pike_primary 1 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary 16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002

this where your code and the original unit code, Byzantine Infantry, have the greatest amount of deviation. notice in the first code:


0 2 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary

versus your


15 MTW2_Non_Shield

also, i am seeing two weapons labeled as primary: a pike and a sword. now i personally don't have a lot of experience writing in this code, but basic logic would dictate you can't have two primary weapons. so i looked up a horse unit, which i know uses spears and swords, to test that logic and this was the code:


2 21 MTW2_HR_Lance_Primary 14 fs_test_shield 2 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary 14 fs_test_shield 16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002

we now see that primary is just talking about which weapon is being used, not what is a unit's primary weapon. however, notice the order. weapon, then shield test, weapon, then shield test. does the unit you are creating have no shield? so, i looked up a non shield unit, the Berdiche Axemen and compared that code:


1 19 MTW2_2H_Axe_primary 0 16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002

so, the 2 in those codes probably represents two weapons. but the fs_test_shield is not present for the non-shield unit. so, if your unit is supposed to have a shield, then this could be the error we are looking for, along with the order in which your code is written, since it isn't weapon, shield test, weapon, shield test.

i know that's a whole lot, but i wanted you to understand the logic that carried me from place to place.
