Unsolved Adding my own 3d model to the roof

Hi all, I wondered if it's possible to add a roof rack to the hopper and then import you own 3d model so that the model moves around in the roof rack? I.e. that rack is fixed to the car and the model can slide around the raised edge roof rack and potentially fall off it you drive too aggressively.

Really appreciate any help and guidance as my Googling search skills aren't working for me. Thanks all

 

To add the rack to the vehicle you can make it quite easily by specifying the

Code:

"slotType"="hopper_roof_accessory"

or directly as

Code:

"slotType":"roof"

in the rack.jbeam. You might want to check the slots as I don't remember them.

In your rack.jbeam you can than specify I.e. the slot "rack_content" and you can use this slot to create another part which is going to be your model that moves around. To let it move around freely just don't connect it to any vehicle nodes.

 

are you just trying to change a preexisting part model or make a new part all together

 

Read the documentation first. If something is unclear, ask me.

 

Whichever is the easiest. Really sorry I am new to this and trying to make it fairly quickly. No ideal I know and assume it's going to take me days to work it out. I tried to find a pro modder to pay for Dev but it's so hard to find anyone

Could you advise please? What's the best guide or approach to this?

 

Replacing a stock JB with your model would be significantly easier because you just need to rewrite one Or two lines of code

 

Could we have some screenshots?

 

I do

I don't think this project have been started.

 

Sorted it guys! Thanks for your help.

 

always happy to help just change the title card to solved.
