Sittable Chairs

Post by danielmn »

Was hoping someone could help me get the feel of Patcha's sittable chairs and benches...

Any way someone familiar with this method can post a how to? I find the instructions themselves a bit confusing....

And would it be more efficient, after I learn the process, to make all of the chairs and benches, make prefabs of them, and put them up on the ftp?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A bunch are freely available on the vault. If you grab that pack you can just plug and chug.
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

Ayergo, do you know which ones are readily placeable without much ado? The author or title of the vault bunch? That would be a tremendous help...

I use Pat's sittable chairs and I believe Indio does, too.
Enjoy the game

Yeah, I bungled here, sorry.

I thought I was using Patcha's char script, which is what I told Wynna, but I was actually using the other (linked first, ayergo).

And it's the first one I used in yours also mate.

So have you tried Patcha's Wynna?

Yeah, I'd love to hear the difficulty rating, problems encountered, pro's and cons and such. Probably be a good idea to come up with one set and then sticky the link for it for future builders.

Haven't tried the other one, but Patcha's couldn't be easier. Import it. The sitables show up as a SITABLES category under Placeables. Pick one. Place it. Good to go.
Enjoy the game

I fumbled my way through creating a chair with one of patcha's as an example. She/he only made one or two chairs in the erf, so I copied the work onto a different chair and it works well.. Still experiencing some side sitting, but no facing the wrong way and sitting anymore with the 180 degree stipulation added in.

However, I find that the example benches Patcha gave are fubared as far as sitting at the correct angle. Will experiment more tonight.

you have to make sure you place your walkmesh cutters to stop side-sitting which is a pain in the butt, but it does work.

there is a tutorial on it. little tip on walkmesh cutting for sittables, use the show c3 collision data function (left hand side of the main toolbar in the drop down collision menu??) so you can see the bottom plane of the chair when you cut, it makes life a lot easier..

Thanks thangs, I will go back tonight and try to work the cutter then. Appreciate your advice!

*Update* With my reader I was unable to see the pictures in the tutorial, however I believe I have the side sitting issue squared away now. Thanks again for the help!
