Exporting Interactive Object As StaticMesh

[SODsniper]

I want to export an Interactive Object as a Static Mesh.  This will, in theory, allow me to use the export as a Mover.

However, whenever I try to export I get a Critical Error and the game exits..

Is this telling me that what I want to do can't be done?  Or do I need to tweak some settings?

More info.. The error I get when I try the above is this:

Assertion Failed: StaticMeshActor file:[UnEDSrv.cpp][Line:1705]

you mean you just want to use a static mesh that an interactive object is already using?

[SODsniper]

Not really.

Let me give an example.

I want to use an Exploding Barrel as a mover.  I want to be able to shoot the barrel as it is moving and have it blow.

Now, it occurred to me that I could simply select the Exploding Barrel SM as a mover.  But it doesn't have the same properties that the Exploding Barrel Actor has.

In a nutshell, I want to be able to use Interactive Objects as movers while still retaining the ability to interact with them while they are moving.

hmmm gl, i wish i had an answer for ya, if i had to guess i would say i dont think its possible because of the two different natures of each action.... but maybe someone else here can shed more light

Where I see the problem is when I use an ExplodingBarrel as a mover, it loses the properties that make it an Interactive Object.

yea thats why i would guess it wouldnt work, two different actions with 2 different sets of properties, i could be wrong though

Ever think of using a mover object and ATTACHING the interactive object to that mover ... damn im good

Hmmmmmmmmm

Would/Should/Could the ATTACH'ed InteractiveObject be the SAME as the Mover Object??

This is a VERY interesting idea.  And opens up a LOT of possibilities....

I see an All Nighter coming up!!!  


Thanx
