Hi there,

I created an object with 3DS Max (a parking lot), which contains a gate, which I want to move when my vehicle comes close to it.
I used the B3D pipeline exporter for Max and checked the "Add scene root".

When I load my parking lot like this:

Global ParkingLot=LoadAnimMesh("ParkingLot.b3d")
	EntityType ParkingLot, SCENE
	ScaleEntity ParkingLot, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25
	PositionEntity ParkingLot, -100, 0.15, -50


I have no collisions (as I can drive through the sides of the parking lot).
If I load the object with LoadMesh, then I collide with the parking lot as expected.

Also when I loaded the object with LoadAnimMesh, while the "Add scene root" wasn't checked in Max, I couldn't scale the object (and collisions didn't work either).

I tried to assign an entity-type to the children, but it gave me "Memory access violation".

How can I do this?

Do I have to load the parking lot and the gate separately (create 2 separate objects in Max) or can this be done otherwise?

Oh yes, the collisions are Sphere-to-Polygon.
I use a collision radius for my vehicle.

Collisions CARBODY, SCENE, 2, 3


I also tried to assign an entitybox (collision box) to the parking lot, but it didn't work either.

I found it!

To get the handle of the children, I used GetChild instead of FindChild.
Now I assigned an entity-type to my gate and it works.
I just collided with it.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I found it when using RotateEntity on the gate.
This gave me a "Memory access violation too".
Then I printed the handle on the screen and it was 0.
