I created an aggregate for a building I am working on (well finished with) and I set up an animated crate to move from one structure to the other of same building, I did this by assigning a path constraint controller to an object to follow a spline, and it works fine (does what it is supposed to), but the problem I am having is that when I run the map I have to be looking directly at the object otherwise it becomes invisible ( if I turn to one side or the other it disappears). It kinda looks like a VIS glitch but this happens with or without the VIS system set up.
Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this?
A screen shot cant show you what I mean but I will put one in anyway 'cause people seem to always want one :/

I thought I might try my hand at a Generals/Ren mod. That building is the Chinese war factory (as close as I could come to it), I am hoping someone might know how I could fix that little glitch I'm having.

I don't know much about modeling but the way you set up the animation should work. The animation is part of the models exterior right?
Also there already is a Generals/Ren mod. It's called Scud Storm 
|
The animation itself works fine, the problem is if I turn left or right the object disappears, the object is still moving it just can't be seen unless I am looking straight at it. If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing that I would really appreciate it.
As far as "scud storm", I believe if you install it you wont be able to play renegade, plus I was told that they simply extracted the models and skins from generals. That would probably look pretty horrific in 1st/3rd.

video sounds like a vis problem try discarding vis data then reexport

It's likely being culled by the view frustum. Basically, you need to make sure that the base object's bounding box is large enough to contain the entire animation.

I had the bounding boxes linked to the objects. I changed them to encapsulate the entire path, as you suggested, ended up with some big @$$ bounding boxes, but IT WORKED!!! I was so close to tossing my comp through a window... Thank you very much for resolving my little problem.
