Setting up prop points

[Intellect]

Hey guys, if I want to set up new prop points on a mesh...how can I do that? Thanks for the help!

That depends on whether its an animated mesh or not. Meshes without animations need to be exported with child empties in the desired prop location renamed prop-yournamehere. Make sure your empties are selected on export if you export by selection, but make sure the mesh itself is the active selection. yournamehere will be the assignable point in the actor editor.

In animated mesh files this needs to be a child bone on the armature instead of an empty, similarly named prop-something.

I noticed that blender 2.8 doesnt really work when adding the prop points. Is there a reason for this? 2.79 works fine, but it's still a bit wonky.

 

For example, I'm using the Hyrule .dae files and trying to structure new prop points for units in a new civ I'm working on.

The animation format changed between the two slightly so they might just be incompatible with each other.

Kind of off topic, but I don't know why they didn't call it Blender 3.0 instead of 2.8. It behaves like a different program. They even changed the keyboard shortcuts.
