Disappearing items in Galaxy Editor

[DaedraEater]

Not sure if this was already posted, considering the amount of threads in this sub-forum, but here goes.

So, I'm trying to use a few models from the Hyperion on my map, but when I place them as an object on the map, they don't appear (i.e. cantina tables, mercenary laptop, armory vehicles, lots of stuff). I've tried adjusting the height of the map, and the objects, but nothing seems to help. Anyone know what the the problem is, or is it just a bug?

those objects may lack actors. i suggest that you examine the items to see if they have actors as well as models.

Models are bellow ground. Had same thing, they actualy fall down. You should either edit their heigh or make a doodad with that model and then raise it if still needed.

How do you make a doodad version of the object though? The data tab in the Galaxy Editor is a lot more convoluted and confusing than WC3's.

Didnt try sry. Ill check it out tommorow. There is new doodad when you go to add data in data editor. Something like that, on bottom.

There is no "Doodad" section to the Data Editor, but all doodads are actors so you need to make an actor for it, and simply set the "Editor Categories" Field to "Doodad Type : Structures" or whatnot so you can place it on the map.

(Dont forget to set the model to what you want it to be.)
