Torque keeps disappearing?

posted to: Antenna Overlap

I am having a very annoying problem where everytime i save my file and come back an error message pops up before opening my file and then torque is missing and i cannot figure out why i try linking him again and that doesnt work either. also how am i supposed to get the keyframes from the head the same as the antenna? Keep having a problem with that am i supposed to link the whole antenna while doing the keyframes for the head?

    Ok ohsnapholly, let’s see if we can figure this out.

    If you have linked in your character, and you get an error message, try to read what it says.  I *think* it will say something like it can’t find the library that Torque is linked from.

    This gives you a clue as to what the issue is.  When Blender opens up the file it tries to relink all the things it is suppose to.  But if the character has moved or is missing, it won’t be able to.  Sometimes this just breaks, but most of the time it is because either the anim file has been moved (and it is linked with relative paths) or the character file has moved (or a folder has changed names or something)

    Have you done anything like that?

    As for the final question I'm not exactly sure what you mean. You should just link in the entire 'group' and then 'create a proxy' for the rig.  The antenna and its controls will be there. (try running the script if the UI isn't showing)


    Let me know how you go - or post a video of your issues if you're still having trouble.
