Hi guys.

Ok , so at the top of the code i have this :

load object "models\dwarf1.x", 256

and then inside a function i have this :

clone object spawnworker,256

Now, this produces a clone of the object, but it is completely unskinned for some reason.

When i put inside the function load object "models\dwarf1.x", 256 it produces a proper version of the object fully skinned , but then it is very slow and messy code as it must then reload a 1.2 mb model file which slows the game down a lot for about 1 second. So i am trying to use the clone function - could you guys please help me find out why it produces an unskinned version and how to solve it!

1.2 MB is a large model file, maybe youcould tell us more about the model.

If the texture is imported automatically via a reference from the model, maybe that is also causing problems.

I just rearranged the code and now it appears to be working.

Coding just sometimes is completely illogical.

Coding is never illogical if you understand it... even if it can be extremly confusing sometimes.

By the way, isnt this your second thread about the same thing?

EDIT:

Could it be that the "clone object" command clones the object, but not the textures? Ive never used the command, but could it be so that it takes the "mesh" from the object, and copy it, but it doesnt copy the textures, since they are not a part of the "mesh" itself?

Cloning should take the mesh, textures, position and rotation. After cloning, you can modify all of the above because it is an object in it's own right.
