rover2341	Changing the names of the root bone to head in the model. How Do I do this? I have no modeling experience. I just want a few custom models I have to be able to change pitch in game with code, and I heard this was the way to do it. Any Idea how to do this?

Michael Peppers	1. Download Magos' Model Editor here 2. Open the model in Magos 3. Select "Windows -> Node Manager" 4. Right-click the helper (Balloon with an "i" inside) called "Bone_Root" or similar 5. Select "Edit Node" 6. Rename it into "Bone_Head" 7. Save 8. Enjoy! =D 9. Wrong Forum =P (PS: Let me know if it worked)

Yep It Works. Thanks!, Also I added this at the helper. http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=145620 and put you in the credits. Thanks.

Code:

library SetupGame initializer InitA

    function environment takes nothing returns nothing
        call SetSkyModel( "Environment\\Sky\\LordaeronSummerSky\\LordaeronSummerSky.mdl" )
        call FogEnableOff(  )
        call FogMaskEnableOff(  )
        call UseTimeOfDayBJ( false )
        call SetTimeOfDay( 12 )
    endfunction

    
    function createUnitWithYawAndPitch takes nothing returns nothing
    
        local integer myUnitType = 'Trac'
        local unit myUnit

        local real yaw = 90
        local real pitch = 90
        
        set myUnit = CreateUnit(Player(0),myUnitType,0,0,0) 

        call SetUnitFlyHeight(myUnit,400,0)
        call SetUnitLookAt(myUnit,"head", myUnit,CosBJ(pitch)*CosBJ(yaw),CosBJ(pitch)*SinBJ(yaw),SinBJ(pitch))

    endfunction  

//===========================================================================
    function InitA takes nothing returns nothing
        
        call createUnitWithYawAndPitch()
        call environment()
        
    endfunction
     
endlibrary
