Nodes and useing placeables

[Legacy_3RavensMore]

               

How is the spot where the PC walks defined when they try to use a placeable?  I'm assuming it's a node, but which one, and how exactly is it defined?

As far as I know the whole model geometry is a node - take a look at this model (I've added ###This Line to the end of the line that makes me say this) ->

#MAXMODEL ASCII
# model: plc_tricepud01
filedependancy plc_tricepud01.max
newmodel plc_tricepud01
setsupermodel plc_tricepud01 NULL
classification character
setanimationscale 1
#MAXGEOM  ASCII
beginmodelgeom plc_tricepud01
node dummy plc_tricepud01
  parent NULL
  #part-number 0
endnode
node trimesh Plane01 ###This Line
  parent plc_tricepud01
  #part-number 1
  ambient 1 1 1
  diffuse 1 1 1
  specular 0 0 0

endnode
endmodelgeom plc_tricepud01

donemodel plc_tricepud01

That is a 1mx1m horizontally oriented plane of the type I use for the stuff I've made.

I thought I had this working, but I'm having trouble getting this model to work.  I'm finding that with large models conversations wont start and inventories won't open.  Any help?  Is there a specific node that needs to be created to deal with this?

I believe those nodes are in the placeable walkmesh (_use01 and _use02). A pwk like this should do:

node dummy c94_pwk_use01 
  parent zlc_fky_c94_pwk 
  position  1.0  0.0  0.0
  orientation  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0
  wirecolor 0.00 0.00 0.00  
endnode
node dummy c94_pwk_use02 
  parent zlc_fky_c94_pwk 
  position  -1.0  0.0  0.0
  orientation  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0
  wirecolor 0.00 0.00 0.00  
endnode

That's exactly the info I needed.  Thanks Asymmetric!

Am I the only one who read this as "Nudes in unseen places"?
