Poly Limit for Generals ZH

There can be "okay" models, then "Good" then "Great"
What I want to know is this:
What is the absolute limit for polys in ZH?
A limit that if you go higher the game crashes.
The reason I ask is because I am making Mecha units and they are all high poly, There will be build limits on them in my mod but I don't want to crash my game with them

500 good for tanks
300 good for infantry
1500 good for buildings
There's no limit. If you do something too high poly the game will lag a lot and probably will crash your computer and the game.

So is that good to go by or the official limits?
Cuz I told my members that 2500 was the unofficial limit for models

So if I spam 2500 poly mechs, the game will lag, almost to the point where it crashes?

2500 isn't that much really, you can go much higher. I'm not sure of the absolute limit (at which after the point ZH just crashes), but it should be enough for whatever high poly-ness you need. Just be efficient in using polys and you should be fine.

The ones a posted are what i went by when making my gens mod and had no problems with lag.
But as Gen said, they is no official limit.

But also, it is hard making a Mech Walker unit without going high poly just to make it look decent.
32 of my mechs are 83,264 polys
I did this to simulate an army of them

So that means, poly doesn't count very much but if the texture is complicated the game will lag?
Ah crap. I forgot how to cap a model after you cut it in half.

There's no official limit on the poly count. But, If your model have tons of textures and espcially ALPHA CHANNELS assigned on the model then enjoy crashing or lagging like hell...
SAGE seriously hates alpha channels, Remember that!

There it is you guys. Though the turret doesnt work right and the legs dont move (love it if someone told me how to fix that)
Well I told you i'd get some in

Legs need to be animated to work
Turret needs to be separated and called "TURRET" and then coded in

How to animate legs? So unlink turret from Chassis and Code it to whatever the code is, But the whole turret lifts up and it fires from the Chassis even though I have muzzle programmed

You need to learn how to animate with key frames in 3ds max or RenX, making realistic moving leg animations is no easy task

I can handle that, but what about the turret lifting up and firing from the chassis?

just a side question: looking at that model, i really wonder how in the hell it could surpass even 1000 polies... i just think you've not been very efficient with your triangles.

how many sides that that barrel have?
if it's more than 7, you're being wastefull
if it's more than 7, you're being wastefull

I'll worry about the poly count later, what I need now is why the heck the barrel and the turret are acting like that

the turret's pivot is misaligned, you need to select the turret, go to the hierarchy tab, select "Affect Pivot Only", then press "Align to World".
