[SOLVED] Collision cylinder & mesh aren't aligned - how to align them?

[Sammieo]

I've got a model for my game, and things are almost perfect with it except for one thing - the model is hovering above the ground.

I believe this is because the CollisionCylinder and the mesh aren't aligned, as "show collisions" in the console suggests, but the only problem is I don't know how to align them properly. Right now, using the WPawnSkeletalMesh, I have a little birdie hovering about two feet above the ground, when I just want it to be *on* the ground.

Here's my code. I can get the class in full if you need.

Begin Object Name=WPawnSkeletalMeshComponent 
SkeletalMesh=SkeletalMesh'BirdPackage.Bird_Packed'
AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'BirdPackage.Armature'
Animations=MeshSequenceA 
AnimTreeTemplate=None
Translation=(Z=2.0)  //this is the line I thought would work
Materials(0)=Material'EditorMaterials.WidgetMaterial_X'
LightEnvironment=MyLightEnvironment
Scale3D=(X=5.00,Y=5.00,Z=5.25)
End Object

Any advice?

Hi Sammieo
Did you reset you Xform before importing in from your 3D app?
There is a cool video on eat 3d that shows you how to lower the mesh in the editor though
http://eat3d.com/maya_udk_2 about 4:40 in to it might be of use!

Translation=(Z=2.0)

That's 2 unreal units, not feet. Probably needs to be more like 20, and negative.

Mat-art, that's a real cool link you've given me, thank you for that. Is there a part 3 to that video series? It looks very helpful with my next problem - my PlayAnim() calls in Unrealscript aren't working and I don't have time to learn Kismet for it! (For more details, click here)

Spoof's solution worked just as well. I dropped the Z translation to around -25 and it looks more like I want it to. Thanks for your help, guys!

I managed to get my character playing custom animations by following these videos and adapting the idea to fit my own needs.
