Grouping Problem Created 18 years ago2005-06-04 12:57:42 UTC by Zat_AJ

Hi... I'm very sorry for asking so many questions and making so many posts but you guys are very helpfull. And I thank you all for that.

So here is my latest problem. Ya know when you have a bunch of stuff grouped and then the only way to select only one of them is to press the ignore button? Well is there any way I can ungroup them? I press ungroup when they are selected but they would ungroup.

When I click the ignore groups button and right click on an entity I'm working on and click proporties, it doesn't bring up the proporties... instead it gives me a window that looks like this:Thanks for your help.

Right. Here I go:

Don't click "properties" click "tie to entity". Once done, you should have the correct window. You only have to do this once, after you have tied it to entity, you can now use properties.

PS. Don't worry about posting, as long as they are not spamming like Lord2k did :D. We are here to help

the ent properties will never show up if you have ignore groups on. theres no way to fix that and still have ignore groups on. you just have to not have it in a group

Or only group it when you finished with the entities!

Yeah...

Umm... if you tie it to an entity and make it all good, and then you group it and tell it to tie to entity again it erases the original entity and you have to re-make it.

It sucks!

No it doesn't the entity still exists it is just groped with other objects!!!:lol: It you want the other objects to be a part of this entity just pick them all and tie them to a entity!!! Hammer will ask you if you want them to be a part of the existing entity, if you will select no they will all be apart of a new entity!!!

Yes... including the one that you don't want to change. So I can't do it? I shouldn't group stuff then I guess. Thanks for the help.

Grouping stuff is only really useful once you've finalized the properties and want to clone stuff easily or keep organized.

You can just de-group ;|

Which is 'Move to World'

Umm... Move To World seems to do nothing but deselet the item.

It unties a entity!!!

Well thank you all for your help.

Move to World doesn't ungroup objects, it un-entities them.

Oh... well that's even worse.
