I'm working on a new car and I've encountered an issue where the wheels are not there and the textures start flashing all over the screen. Another iteration of this bug has resulted in the wheels appearing horizontal instead of vertical (like the hover car mode of the DeLorean in Back to the Future).

 

Sometime the car works fine, but sometimes it spawns without wheels as described above. Here is a video for reference (Please forgive the quality of the video. I'm out of town for work for the next 4 days and don't have access to my gaming computer, but I had one of my testers make this quick video for me): 

 

 

I feel like I've encountered and fixed this problem once before, but it was probably 6 months ago and I've made 7 other cars since then so I honestly don't remember what I did to fix it back then.

 

So far, I've tried the following changes without success, so I thought I'd seek help from someone else here that might have fixed this issue before.

 

- Making a new "chassis" and "fbi.wft" dummy and moving all the parts into the new dummies in case I accidentally moved something

- Tried a quick rebuild of the car from a few previous saves

- Tried re-installing the previous FBI model in that slot, that car works without issue but as soon as I use this model I start getting the intermittent wheel / texture bug

- Tried re-installing my game and then adding the new car in. Same bug persists after a re-install.

 

If anyone has had any success in fixing this issue or has any advice on other fixes I can attempt, I'd be grateful for some other opinions.

 

On a semi related note, I'm at least partially thinking that this issue may be related to the car model itself. I've experienced some other issues with this model over the last 3 times I've used it, including an RC20 crash. Unfortunately, this 2010 Interceptor is the only unlocked Interceptor Sedan I have at the moment, so if anyone knows of any better models of the Interceptor Sedan, preferably a more recent model year, I'd welcome those recommendations as well for future use.

 

Thanks for the help everyone!

Try deleting everything but the lighting and other equipment you want to save and reimport just the vehicle. Don't use an old save, it could have gotten corrupted in one of those.

Unfortunately that didn't work.

 

Turns out, the problem was with the "misc_l" that contained the lighting equipment and other police gear. Through process of elimination, exporting the car without that object worked fine. So, I rebuilt the entire "misc_l" object again and then added it back to the car and it worked fine the second time around.

 

As usual with the zModeler problems I've encountered in the last year since I've been learning how to do this stuff, I have no idea what I broke the first time around or what I did differently to not break it the second time...

 

But hey, at least it's fixed now. Thanks for the help!
