Ok, I posted earlier a trick dealing with placing models on ground boxes, which involved raising the terrain and placing them there. This is a wonderful trick; unless you are planning to set a mass to the objects. If you use the ground raising trick, the models will fall right through the ground boxes as soon as you drive near/under them. However, if you take the time to set them manually, they will not fall through.

I did a neat trick on ruffly the same idea to get a skeleton to jump out at you. Put it underground and give it a mass. Make sure a small bit is sticking out of the ground.

When you hit the bit sticking up...

The model jumps out of the ground!!!
NEAT.

amazing...you guys come up with ideas that just open up more and more ways to create something besides the same old hum drum tracks..my brain is already buzzing with ideas of things "popping out" at you...thanks

Obeone... 'bout your idea, its good, but this is more of a glitch. Programmers forgot to make ground boxes solid to models. Mass(ed) objects can be rammed through GB walls, making it unrealistic. Anyone know how to prevent this.

Put a model box (20x20x20) in the ground box with no mass

Friend of the above.

need to make a haunted house type track and make a bunch of ripped up dead ppl and stuff like that. big heads. arms. legs. and make them pop out of the walls in or near a door in a haunted house. make them and blood and stuff come out of the roof, walls. ground, and everywere else you can think of. lol. then you might scare sombody.

Stay on topic. If you have a new question, then please start a new thread. Mixing and polluting topics helps nobody at all. The purpose of this message board is to help people find the answers they need but do it in a way that the answerers don't have to type the same things again and again. Give us a break. Stay on topic.

k. sorry.

Gogeta: it is confusing, even for me ;-) but i had to say it.

Phin: you poked the wrong guy. ;-) But you're right about the value of staying on topic. That's the problem with these UBB all in one thread discussions, it's nice software but I've always disliked that aspect (years before coming here), can't easily and visibly branch off. Not complaining, just sayin.

I'll poke youz all, lol. The good thing about this type of bbs is that a thread can become a document unto itself. A case in point would be the SIT file thread. The bad thing about wwwboard type bbs's is good posts get lost. We try tho, don't we? Keep it cool fellas.

Phinius! Stay on topic! (hehe)
I d/led trackED2 and it came up in a dosprompt window and said it was finished and i had to exit. WHY?
ps this is on topic- Quote Winterkill- Traxx 1.2 does not do ramps. It seems possible that you could write a pod with traxx, extract it and clone it with tracked2 and put in ramps.
