I have read, re-read, double-checked, searched, looked.............
Anything trying to find an answer to my problem o_O

I create my own models from nothing, so I have nothing to fall back on. :<
They will typically work to their full capacity and work wonders :D . Although recently I wanted to have attachments to my models, and have footprints and sounds spawn from the model.

Now here is the big problem:
  1. When I try to make a PointHelper, I can place it and move it anywhere. I can make the notetracks fine. I change the name to SNDxDRIF. But when I export it (using the war3arttools) to a mdl I cannot find it anywhere. No SNDxyyyy, or FPTxyyyy. Yes I change the yyyy part. I have also changed the x part but no luck. I use the appendix from the adobe document included on the art tools.
  2. When I try to make an attachment point, I create a box. When I go to "User Properties" and try to change it to an Attachment Point 3D Studio Max Crashes with an "Unkown Error".
Also, if I try to add them in by means of MDL editing, I cannot find any "ObjectID #" only "GeosetID #" which is repeated for various items.
When I try to use "Warcraft III Preview" with the PointHelpers, it tells me that:
  • The following objects use float key modifiers and so will not animate:

    SNDxDRIF
    FTPxFLSL
    FTPxFLSR

Not 100% positive but i believe the object ID refers to the pivot point number lines. Scroll down to pivot points and check out the number of lines it has. I think they count up from 0 and go up.

Also redownload the art tools. The current ones you have is bugged and crashes max on attachment points.
