Parachute animation help (update)

[Bloody_looser]

Well, original issue somehow sorted itself out.

And now I have a new one.

No matter what, the parachute deploys sideways and stays in that fashion. What did I do wrong this time?

If I recall correctly, the GameObject with the animation component must be a child or grandchild of the GameObject with the PartTools component, to ensure that the animations are compiled into the model at export.

Try doing the following:

- In Unity, create an empty GameObject as a child of "Parachute" and name it, say "dummy"

- Make Base, Canopy, Cap and Collider_collider children of dummy

- Remove the animation component from Parachute, and instead, recreate it on dummy

- Re-export the part and test

Nope, still the same.

Please post screenshots of your Unity GameObject Hierarchy as it is right now, along with all components found in each GameObject.

What version of Unity are you using? I'm just wondering if there's a version issue. I use 4.2.2 since it's the most recent one that still has the emissive animations working for engines and the like.

As an additional point of data, here's a radial parachute that works:

The animations are in the top game object, along with the part tools, so the location shouldn't matter so much. One difference I see is that for "Animation", mine says "None", and the animations are listed under "Animations" only.

I use 4.6.8. Regarding empty 'Animation' - tried it both ways, no luck.

Thought about downgrading too, it might do the trick.

It seems that you haven't chosen a texture for your meshes. Try to click select a texture or a proper material (with attached texture ) for your meshes. Maybe this could help?

Well, the issue somehow sorted itself. I believe a non-latin character snuck into word 'canopy'.

Not that it is an intended behaviour, but still better than nullreference.
