LE Smelter With No Coal & No Shoveling Animation

[ToppDog]

I've seen it done using different models replacing the smelter, but whenever I try it by using the original model & using the null texture set to replace the coal, it won't work. It looks just fine in the CK, but the coal always shows up again in-game. Maybe someone has already made this, so that's why I'm asking. I'm just looking for the ordinary smelter, minus the pile of coal on the floor & without performing the shoveling animation.

 

I've also tried copying what others have done using alternate smelter models, but I couldn't get the smelting menu to pop on screen. If there is a tutorial that I can't find, can someone point me in the right direction?

Basically you can use every static object with a collision to work as smelter, like a static pot or something like that.

 

Edit the CraftingSmelterMarker1, point to your new model and remove some keywords to make it look like this:

Here is the smelter model without coal and animation:

Thanks a ton! AGAIN!!! I just got done reading the other post regarding activators needing collision & was about to retry. One of the models I was trying to use when I couldn't get rid of the coal was the smelter ingredient model, but it has no collision :)
