I have a simple icosphere model with a single shape key that scales the faces to 0. For some reason after compiling the model it gets all messed up. Requesting help as I am completely lost on this one

#

here's how its supposed to look like (at ~0.6 so you can see it) and how it looks in-game (at 1)

#

here's my qc file

I think compilation merges vertices that are too close to each other, maybe this is the problem

zenith creek I think compilation merges vertices that are too close to each other, maybe this...

yeah, that might be the problem. i connected all the icosphere faces and made the flex scale the whole mesh instead, and it seems to work

#

is there a way to disable it?

#

nevermind, its not the vertices merging

#

its the stupid limit that makes it so vertices cant move more than 8 units
