POSTED: Designer Help Needed! Bounty Within!

ALERT ALERT! Mod Help needed with Designer Plugin!


I am working on a new Mod, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the designer plugin and get it to work! Any help would be greatly appreciated!


BOUNTY: Any and all folks who help me figure this out will be listed as a contributor! A screenshot or simple enumerated list would be wonderful! Thank you!

    @UnstableOrbit Yep, I agree wholeheartedly, and feel the same! I'm a scientist for my day-job, so the melting pot of wisdom is truly one of our greatest assets!


    It is fun living in the future, and standing on the shoulders of giants! What a view! And you are very welcome!

    @Cadin Declined the contributor invite. If sharing mod tips was criteria for being a contributor, then anyone who ever posted a mod tutorial or gave advice to someone could be considered a contributor on the projects of everyone who used their wisdom. Therefore on a matter of principle(standing on the shoulders of giants), I do not consider myself a contributor. Thank you anyway.

    @Tully2001 Interesting idea, I'll try each method!

    @UnstableOrbit Exactly what my intuition was when I began! I've finally made some progress, thank you guys for the input!


    @Ctracerx2 You mentioned putting everything at origin, and also the small space to work with, that was certainly confounding stuff as well!

    @Cadin Camera does not need to be a child of the gameobject, nor does directionallight. In fact, they shouldn't even be exported with the rest of the mod. The game already has its own camera and lighting.

    @Ctracerx2 Does the camera go under as well?

    @Ctracerx2 Roger that, I just tried creating an empty game object and having the Designer Plugin as a child with everything underneath.


    Are you saying I should use the Designer Plugin as a script under the inspector tab of the GameObject? (With then everything as a child.)


    Thank you for your patience, I know I must be missing some small hierarchy issue!

    @UnstableOrbit I have tried to make all the objects the children of the "Designer Plugin", and at best only get an unmovable camera view if I include the camera as one of the objects. Are you implying that I make the terrain or such the parent and everything else a child of the terrain, and the designer plugin is a sibling? Thanks for the quick response!

    Designer plugin? I'm not sure but have you tried parenting all mod objects/scripts to a root gameobject and then putting the plugin on the root? If I am remembering correctly, that's what you need to do for at least a few of the plugins in the modtools.
