Strange vehicle problem...

[noldevin]

My front left wheel is 3 feet behind the vehicle! In xsi everything is in place, but the wheel is about 7 feet behind where it should be! ive attached my qc file. also, that one particular wheel rotates around the model when it should be spinning in place like a wheel should. when i steer it just alters the orbit lol. anyway heres the qc, i doubt thats the problem. if anyone wants to have a look at the xsi files let me know ill put them in a rar and upload them to my site.

you might notice its identical to tomdon's tutorial, thats because it is, i just wanted to see how my model looked ingame so far so i rigged it up just like his.

well ive fixed that problem but now it acts as though the right side wheels arent there, but they still show up there. heres a screen shot from model viewer with hitboxes, attachments, and bones on. for some reason only the front left wheel shows up as a bone, note that all the wheel attachments are on the left side.

i have no idea if this will help, not my area of expertise... but our coder made a "source vehicle tutorial" on our forums, read it, maybe it will solve your problems?

k ill check that out thanks a lot
unfortunately its not what im looking for. ive fixed the main problem here, but now nothing is animating properly. maybe if that tutorial used xsi it would be more helpful, but unfortunately for me all i can find is for max.
