[Request] Inverting the M2HB HMG Ammo Belt

Hello guys.

For the guys who use 3DS Max 9 only: I need the M2HB HMG Ammo Belt to be inverted so that it is facing the right-side.

This will be for a vehicle I'm coding since the ammo box will be at the right.

It can be found on objects_weapons_client.zip/weapons/common/hmg_m2hb_ammo/meshes/hmg_m2hb_ammo

Save it as hmg_m2hb_ammoRH. Will give credits

Bump. Anyone? It shouldn't be hard

importing -> reexporting can cause issues. it would be better if we could get the export scene but im not able to find it in the asset repo.

I'm assuming rotating it in the z-axis via code won't work?

it needs to get mirrored if you rotate it the bullets will face the wrong way

If you rotate it in the x-axis, yes. But it you rotate it in the z-axis ~30 degrees, would that work?

Thanks for your time guys.
@M42 rotating it in the Z-Rotation Axis WORKED! I set it to 180 and it's fixed!

Once again Thank you all

Just out of curiosity, what project will this be used for?

This is for the Polish Faction. Namely the Skorpion-3 which is fully coded plus the DZIK which I need to commit time to, both having the ammo box on the right.

And actually, I still need the M2HB Ammo Belt to be flipped as while M42's suggestion was good and the bullets were facing the right way, it made the ammo belt go upside down.

Should do the trick, you will need to do the coding for it thou which should be more or less copying the code from the other one.

Why is Arab not made a contributor in 1.3? You did quite some work right?

That's why I said rotate it ~30 degrees and not 180 :-P

Thanks Rhino :)

[quote="mries""]Why is Arab not made a contributor in 1.3? You did quite some work right?[/quote]Yeah I did some work here are there but I think it needs more time and experience to get to be an R-CON, mainly taking up work to finish community tasks in projects like finishing coding a vehicle, add a texture, create textures, etc.

Not quite sure how this would work :-|

Ye, that would have worked too.

I get it now :) M42's solution worked, but I may use your file if I'm lazy :P
