Voxel not positioned properly

Hey, I dunno why, but the voxel I downloaded is not positioned properly ingame. I doubt it is a hva problem as I copied the hva of a unit with similar traits eg. aircraft.

To illustrate my problem:

You need to make an entirely new .HVA for new units and align them properly to the axis using the HVA positioning tool. You can't just use a pre-existing units .HVA file.

It works now, Thanks man, all I needed was a prod in the right direction =D
It's weird, I've gotten away with not making hva's until now.

do you modified your select.shp?
If not, can you tell me how you got the blue selection box. IIRC were there unused blue selection boxes in the original select.shp and i never found them used ingame. (or was it a blue pip for healthbars , i'm confused

)

It were blue pips.
He did modify the select.shp file, I'm shure of it.

yep you're right. i just took a look into the select.shp and it only has unused frames, but no blue ones.

But do you know for what are the blue healthbar pips? The small ones are used for blue tiberium on harvester but the big blue building pips seem to be completely unused. Maybe WW wanted to show different types of tiberium in the silo storage bar too and didn't activated this feature. Or there was some kind of shield effect planned.

Yep, I'm alright at simple things like that.

This isn't a hva issue, its a voxel bounds issue (although confusingly, the OSHva editor or whatever its called can alter the voxel bounds). The only time you should need a custom hva is for multisection voxels with animations.
