Okay. The Stadestroyer_turretturbolaser_vehicle is the turret used in the Blueprint.  That looks wierd to me so i made two different scripts. PF_StarDestroyer_Gameplay_01_just_sd_turrett....ms (5.5 KB) PF_StarDestroyer_Gameplay_01_just_corvus_aut....ms (5.03 KB) With the Autoturret_Corvus_mesh.fbx it looks better. I´ve tried to make an complete script but got errors.  The Turrets imported wrong. The Barrel is in the wrong position. I think it´s a problem with the bones in the turret fbx. If i load only the turrets with the above scripts they appeare right.  Test it how it looks for you. |

Bones definitely have the potential to get scrambled by the script. For most of my script assemblies, I generally tend to delete the bones from composite meshes first. Which script version are you using? The newer revs (i.e. 3+) behave a little better (albeit still not perfect) WRT preserving pre-existing positioning.

And just in case it was lost when FacePunch-Thanos snapped his fingers, here's a link to the latest script rev: FrostyScript_V04At some point in the future I'll re-write the script walk-though instructions here in the help/tutorials section of this forum. |

Thanks both of you! Sorry Ducktrooper i should have been more clear. I was referring to the Octuple barbette turrets Mmh. The Octuple Barbette Turrets are called Heavyturbolaser in Battlefront and are all the time intecrated in Badhorses Script V3 and V4. So what does your request mean. What do you need? |

Yeah. i think thats an good idea. I prefer Script V3. I don´t know about the Prefab-addon in V4. It crashes the way Max is sorting the LOD_Levels. BTW: the script also works with obj files. You have only to change this MyFileNameTemp = MyObjName + "mesh.obj"
importfile MyFileNameTemp #noPrompt using:OBJIMP

I guess i get you wrong.
You were talking about max and adding to a scene.
In max all models are called "scene".
With turretturbolaser_01.mesh.fbx my script works for all turrets.
PF_StarDestroyer_Gameplay_01_V4.ms (16.67 KB)
And if you change StarDestroyer_HeavyTurboLaser_01_mesh.fbx to stardestroyer_heavyturbolaserstatic_01_mesh.fbx
the Heavyturrets should look right (better).
Or are you talking about the way to extract meshes out of an component Mesh to delete all unused Parts like damages?

Only way to know the rev level right now is to compare the script content. If I were a professional coder, I'd probably know to add the rev info to the header comments. Maybe next rev ... if there ever is one. |

Should i rename the .fbx or in the excel script?
Also any of you know where the corvus mesh is located?, i have the landing gear, hangar, turrets etc.. but not the full exterior mesh
