Quick question

Hi Guys,

I ran a search, and couldnt find anything on this. I wonder if someone knows how I can make a Garand stand on its barrell and stay put?

The idea is I am making a couple of grave sites for a map, and I want to have a few garands in the ground at the head of the grave, with the soldiers helmets on them.

The problem is the rifles fall over when I start the map.

Any chance some of you mapping wizards know of a way to make this work?

As always, any and all help is appreciated!

You could always enclose it in a hollowed-out brush with a 'nodraw' texture on it :rolleyes:

Sorry guys, i had that backwards.. Caldbeck, it worked like a charm man, thanks. Don't know why, but when i looked at the flags, i completely missed that the first time.

Thanks
again

Thanks Noodle.

I think it will add a little something to the map. Whenever I have seen a picture of the helmet on the rifle, it has always been a pretty powerful, and sobering image.

Again, thanks for the help guys!
