AGH! Stoopid Bridge

[sabre0001]

Ok, here is the situation...I have a bridge that i want to be able to open with the push of a button (thats not the prob, keep reading)...

Anyways i need it to open downwards (like the opposite of a bridge that allows ships to pass) - I have the bridge set as a rotating door and i have moved the origin to the edge where it connects to the road - however no matter what i set the yaw, rotate, etc values at - the bridge goes crazy...

I got it set up so that it started pointed down like i wanted (besides being open) but when i triggered it, it went haywire...do i need hinges or something else...Please help! :thumbs:

Well when you say haywire, what do you mean? Does it go backwards, up, left, or just jumps around moving in any direction?

This is what i know from past versions of worldcraft rather than this new hammer, but doors like you need operate by having 3 origin points, the origins being the 'hinges'. Basically (i cant look right now - steam is taking its time to update) there should be 3 different origin textures in the texture folder, or something similar. Apply 1 and 2 to the corners of the bridge where it meets the road, and put a origin 3 at the other end of the bridge, in the middle. Try this, or different combinations of this...and set the opening angle of the bridge to -80 or whatever, so it opens downwards.

Also i dont think it needs to be a rotating door, just a normal one...Sorry if none of this works, just thinking off the top of my head

Haywire = Seems to rotate around all axis' and goes crazy - i will try the origin thing and post again in a while...
Any other ideas I will greatly appreciate...
