My friend and I decided to play a allied game - he disconnects so after the two minute mark he spawns on his own little private island. I decided to build a couple power plants around him and we got this. Not sure what happened, possibly a graphical bug.
Not a bug. They're different models, using the same JSON. One is on water, one is on land, hence, different models. If there is a bug, it's that the scales are off by quite a bit.. we do need to bring those more inline.
Great to hear things like the scale are still being tweaked. I've always found it weird how they were so much bigger.
If I remember correct the land version has gone through like 3 art changes while the sea ones the original model! For some reason this thread has me thinking that a trippy color/scale mod should be a thing. everything you build is a different size and color!
To see how this is done, take a look at part of the blueprint code for the metal extractor: Code: "model": [ { "animations": { "idle": "/pa/units/land/metal_extractor/metal_extractor_anim_work.papa" }, "animtree": "/pa/anim/anim_trees/simple_building.json", "filename": "/pa/units/land/metal_extractor/metal_extractor.papa", "layer": "WL_Land" }, { "animations": { "idle": "/pa/units/sea/sea_metal_extractor/sea_metal_extractor_anim_work.papa" }, "animtree": "/pa/anim/anim_trees/simple_building.json", "filename": "/pa/units/sea/sea_metal_extractor/sea_metal_extractor.papa", "layer": "WL_Water" } ], "spawn_layers": "AnySurface", The "spawn_layers" attribute determines where the structure can be built, in this case anywhere. The "model" attribute then has two sections, one for water and one for land (specified by the "layer" attribute within). Separate models and animation files can be seen for the land & water layers.
