The geometry, or the height of the camera etc? The actor has settings for his height, speed, and so on, these don't alter geometry but do alter where the camera is placed for example, at least if I remember correctly.


I also think the live space will over-ride any changes you make when you enter it, and I am not sure whether those kinds of settings are locked or not (ie if you change them, the live space will change them back, not just change them on entry).


Someone else with more avatar experience will be able to comment more accurately :)


HTH!

PS - look for such settings in the LE, maybe under different aspects of the actor they may not be exposed directly. Alternatively, they may be inside the actor object even, as I say I can't recall for sure.

Well what I want to achieve is to be able to do a walk around in my world I am building, but I have to build things on a small scale, right now the FPS navagation in WS is set to a much bigger man.

When you first enter into FPN mode, there is a Default Navigation Properties node created at the scene level. You can change any of these properties but it is important that this is then saved with your scene. Next time you enter into FPN mode, the changes that you made will be used. It is also important not to rename this node.

In the Link Editor after you select FP Navigation. Height is the attribute that you would want to change to a smaller number.
