Problem with Mig Eater's Chinook

Steve_1993

I recently replaced the Nighthawk Transport,with Mig Eater's Chinook(from Mig Eater's Tiberian Dawn GDI voxel pack),and I have a problem:When I tried it ingame,I see that only the Chinook's rear rotor had a shadow,instead of the whole helicopter.I don't know if it's a problem with Chinook's HVA. I need some help on how to fix it,and,if it's possible to fix it.

You are lucky, it is possible! Just change the ShadowIndex=x to the number of the body. Try with 2.

The problem is,that the ShadowIndex is already at 2.Should I try another number?

Yes,
from 0 to how many voxel are in there. You need to check in the HVA viewer.

Ok, I checked that Mig Eater's Chinook has 3 voxel parts.

1st:Chinook's main body
2nd:Front Rotor
3rd:Rear Rotor

I'll try by changing ShadowIndex to 1,and I'll see if it works.

indexes like many arrays and lists in programming languages start counting from 0.
So for the body you would have to use 0.

Thanks for the advice.I changed the ShadowIndex to 3,and it seemed that it worked for me.

LKO,I tried your advice too(setting the ShadowIndex to 0),and it's working!!!

I always make the the first section of a vxl the body, that way I dont need to add the ShadowIndex tag to the ini as it defults to 0.
