I made a really cool model of a Hummer H2 il post pics later. BUT For the game i want to submit it to only accepts 13 root nodes in the model. My model has 17. Because the wheels and body are 5 objects all together. And they should be 1 object. thats the only way i can submit the model to the game.

So is there any possible way with Gmax or 3ds max that i can Merge the 5 objects together so it only takes up 1 root node instead of 5 ?

please someone reply if you dont i cant submit this :P

You can go into one of your model parts, select attach (in the edit modifier) and select the other models to combine them to one model.
The second way is to read the engine help, there might be a way to group the objects and give them a prefix so the engine combine them to one model. Anyway, remind when you want to turn your weehls they have to be single objekts whit ther pviot in the middle but linked to the car.

Hangs.

Ok so i found the Attach thing.

I went to Editable mesh and clicked Polygon. then scrolled down and found attach.

So i selected a wheel and clicked Attach. but what do i do after that :S

and do i just do 1 wheel at a time ?

Yeah, you attach each object separately, and they will become elements in your initial object.
