Problem with 2d component construction

honoluludesktop · 6 Oct 2009, 23:00

Once it is built, I am unable to move the image of a 2d face me component (left image) when I move the face it is on (right image). Any help with this?

Are you moving the whole component or the face inside it (when editing)?

Edit the component (when it is still okay), right click the face > Texture > Position and hit Enter.
Try now.

Gai, Thanks, Hmm... No way of moving the face, and texture at the same time? Guess if I am carefull it doesn't matter, especially since the cutout is by eye anyway

Group the component? (component + an external little thing then group)

Did you try to position the image?

Pilou, Could be wrong but I thought I tried to re-component it, though that did not seem to matter.

Gai, I was able to re-position the image after I moved the face, but not at the same time.

I think I can do it by making a blank workspace, inserting the old component, exploding it, then regrouping, and saving the new component. Next time I will position the image properly before cutting out the alpha.

Every time I do this, I forget some step, and mess up. Takes less time to cutout the alpha then to get the name, etc. right:-) Another reason pro is the way to go.

Thanks, all.
