attachment points

LuckyBoyAK

Does the issue occur in the editor or during gameplay?
editor/gameplay

If it's a gameplay issue, please specify which movement system and camera type you're using (free movement vs. grid movement, third-person vs. first-person) or N/A if not applicable:
both

Briefly describe the issue you're experiencing:
I was making a gun and using a whole bunch of attach points. but when I connected something that used attach points to another by using a attach point it moves the attached items.(wow that's confusing)

Are there any errors in the in-game debug console or external console window?
no

Provide the steps necessary to reproduce the issue:
make some objects, add some attachments to one, and then add then one to another, using an attachment point.

Provide a download link to the bare bones project (strongly recommended if it's an in-game issue, since this helps significantly when attempting to reproduce it; the report will also be given more priority in this case):
no idea how.

This is a commonly encountered issue with nested attachments.
Not sure if it's a bug or working as intended, but requires the following process.

Your attach points that will attach the object to another object need to be at a very specific XYZ offset: [0, 0, 0]

Lets say you have a player model, who wears a hat, and the hat has a feather in it (3 models).

[Feather]
The feather would have an attach point that attaches it to the hat. (A)
The hat would have an attachment that receives the feather (B)

[Hat]
The hat would have an attach point that attaches it to the player's head. (A)
The player would have an attach point that receives the hat. (B)

All (A)'s need to be at [0, 0, 0] and then attached and re-aligned from there in the voxel editor.

For more information, I discuss this very process and demonstrate it here:

Hey Stumpy is this a bug?

I don't think that this is a bug. I think when you, for some reason, scale a parent object, it scales how far away the objects are from a certain x,y,z coordinate which makes sense because i think the engine is scaling the whole grid that the object is locally stays. In my game, I'm using 4-5 layers of attachment points (for example, a sword made out of 2 attachment points is attached to the player's hand that is also attached to the player's body and the pieces of the sword and the hand of the player is scaled to different sizes). I made it work by following Slayer's tutorials. If the current system changes, my game will be doomed lol 😅 since everything would be broken.
