OK well i have my character model that im using as a character in my adventure and it has an animated walking thing and all. Now i wrote up some code so the camera would follow me and it worked fine with the sphere i was using, so i decide to load my model up and see how it looked.


It worked when I first loaded the character, it moved around and did everything it was suppost to, but i didnt rotate it, so it was on its back.

It was playing the animation though, I then roated it by saying "xrotate object 2, 270." It was positioned on its feet, but when i tried to move the thing, it didnt go anywhere. I could still turn it and all, but when it was rotated it didnt move forward!

I thought i did somthin wronge so i checked it, double checked it, and it didnt work so i took out the rotate and it did work. Is this a DBP bug? Thanks for reading this, I bet it was really boring.

I think it has something to do with resetting the normals, but I've never done so check the help text around this area.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

rotate object : then fix object pivot prior to your main loop if this is what your referring to when you say that it was lying down.

alternatively to that is to re export out of your 3d package the correct way for db.
