Hey guys, ok, I've made an AA gun for the Ark Royal, from some other guns with different LODS, problem is, I can't alter the view point. It's set now where I have the armour skirt round the gun it's self, and I want to bring in acroos to the centre and rasie it some. Problem is, in the set view point option, the view point doesn't move. I really need this setting properly, can anyone help me out here? Advice, o I'll send the SM file over for you to look at, I don't mind at all sa long as I can get it sorted out.

Thanks guys

Thanks Reaper, it'll be there in a sec, the gun I have trouble with is the forward deck mounted single barreld AA, I know there are ofther things need doing to it yet, but the viewpoint is the problem.

What kind of crew position is it (gun, gunRemote etc.) ?? Did you tried to add a new viewpoint object (i.e. 'view_AAgun, no lods - just an arrow) as a child of the crew position ? This works quiet good for me.

Thanks Laika, this is what the potiotion has..

turret
viewpt
gun
at the moment, the viewpt is the potition the view is from, now I don't mind that, but the veiw point is ofset to the left, I need to centralise it, and raise it slightly, but in OPS it just doesn't seem to move. I'm hoping Reaper will be able to help, or maybe I'll have to work backwatds and build a different one. Thing is, I thought about the arrow aswell, normaly I'd just move the arrow into the new view point I want.. but for some reason there is no arrow showing up ::shrug::
