Hi all, I've been trying to get into building prefabs for several years now, but have never been able to spend enough time to really dig into the tools. It didn't help that things tend to change quite a bit. I finally have some free time to work some up, and completed one I started in '18. Special thanks to @Genosis and the NAGG prefab creation videos, they are very clear, and thankfully for a guy like me with limited free time, short.
I've made a dungeon style POI based on the duplex type homes in my neighborhood in NY. It's been populated and tested to work with both fetch and clear quests. I'd like to make a series of these so that they can be placed in rows next to each other to create tight neighborhoods like those I live in. I've already started to work on the first variant. There are pics below.
I do have a couple of nagging issues (see what I did there?):
1. Rotation/facing has me a bit stumped. For some reason I can't wrap my head around how to set rotation so they place properly if used by someone else. I've read several posts, and watched a few videos, but for some reason this still stumps me. Little help?
2. What is the quickest/simplest way to package/export the prefab to share here for use by others? I know there are tools that folks use for this, and I imagine just taking the files from the prefabs folder and dropping them in a ZIP file won't be sufficient. There's actually so much info around different ways to do this it's a bit difficult for me to figure out what's the simplest. I realize it may be a matter of preference. Anyway, if someone can provide some guidance I'll export the prefab(s) and share them here. Thanks in advance.
