Hello everyone,
I haven't made much noise on these forums yet, mostly because I haven't had anything to say
So right now, I'm trying to make a ladder for my Age.
I have been checking the ageladders tutorial on alcugs out ( http://alcugs.almlys.org/wiki/index.php/AgeLadders ), and I'm experiencing some problems.
(remember, I am very new to Agebuilding )
In the first tutorial, It says I should add a "generic" region, which I can't seem to find among the other regions. The second tutorial is just... hard , and the "old yet flexible way" describes some things I have no idea what they mean.

So, my question is, could someone send me an Age with just a ladder in it, so I could see what it should look like?

Thank you!

Thanks!
Still can't find the "Generic region" option though...

oh yeah, it's just called a "region"

[no sarcasm intended]
I had thought that would be obvious, since you have all kinds of special regions, and only one simple "region" so, that's the generic one
[/no sarcasm intended]

EDIT:
Oops, even I was wrong on this one, it's called a "General Region"

heh, thanks, my english is very good
So, another pointless question comming:
How can I move something up "0.42 Blender units"?

Thanks again

When you move something you can use the Numpad to enter precise coordinates.
For instance once your object (or vertex, or whatever) is selected you can use [G] (move) then the axis you want move ( [Z] in this case) and thn type 0.42 on your numpad.

Thanks, now that part is working fine

Sadly enough, I seem to be an expert in messing up my Blender works, as I can't seem to get things right

It would really help if someone made a ladder with climbingregions in Blender, and sent it to me, as I could see how it is supposed to look.

if you haven't yet you can download this .blend file and check it. Theres a ladder region in it. Its a basic ladder thats attached to the wall, but it should give you some idea.

Functionality or go here . Its the page where you can get instructions on what the file is really for.


oh and to add, if you press the N key it will bring up location information of the object and its parts.

Bare with me, I'm pretty slow.
Okay, so, I check where the floor object so on the Z-axis, and then go to my climbregion, and press the N-key.
Thing is, when I type the number I saw on the floor object in the box for the Z-axis, the region ends up in a completly other place!

Please don't get frustrated at me, as I said, I'm pretty slow when it comes to these things
