When I make a animated object, it disappears when I look at it at certain angels, mostly when looking up. It only happens whit a animated object where you can stand in, like a box moving around.
I searched the forums first and found a topic whit the same problem as I have, though there isn't a solution from it. So, is it possible to do correct ore is it a limitation of the w3d engine?

Adding a worldbox does indeed seems to help, though the weird is thing that the height of the box doesn't seems to matter. Well, it works now, thanks a lot for that.

Well, having a worldbox covering the animation fixed the problem, not sure if the elevators in ren all have wordboxes covering the entire animations of the elevator.

they have a world box and bounding box. Animations need the world world box covering the entire animation.

oh .btw should the worldbox be linked to the animated object, so it moves with the animated object? or should the whole animation area be covered?

Linking a worldbox doesn't work, you need to cover the animation area whit the box.

Tiles and terrain do not need a bounding box, however certain vehicle/simple objects with the right physics settings do. Keep in mind that using a boundingbox (instead of a worldbox) allows you to make sure it shows up without forcing collisions on all the visible space.

AABox This mesh is to be used as an axis aligned collision box.
"worldbox"

OBBox Use this if youre exporting a bounding box area. Checkmark "Hide".
"boundingbox"

bounding box its whats suppose to cover the animation area sorry if I confused you before.

Neither, Elevators are type tile and not object, they don't need bounding or world boxes. (You could make an object elevator, but you'd have to code it to move the objects, animated bounding boxes just slide over other objects).
