Slab6 pivots and positioning

[matt1331]

I've been watching some tutorials on Slab6 and the controls, but none of the videos i've seen mentions pivots, or where the character holds the gun. So does anyone know how to change the positioning of the gun so that when you're holding it in game, it's higher and not cut off on the bottom of the screen?
I think that i'm suppose to go to tools and pivot but then nothing happens when i click that

When you click that there will be a couple of boxes in the bottom left. Position the mouse over the one with the axis you want the gun to move and reposition it with the arrow keys.

Thanks for replying, and there's three boxes right? What do they mean and do? I put my mouse over a box and press my arrow keys but all i see is 2 lines intersecting a area but they dont move but blink or flash when i press arrow keys.

Those are the X,Y, and Z axises. The Y inreases or decreases height and the X/Z move it north/east/south/west.

And all of those controls where the player holds the gun?

yes, you can have the gun backwards or forwards depending on how you built it and how you set up the pivots

do you know any videos that give a tutorial on pivots? so it has more details?

No, just hover your mouse over one of the boxes and move the arrow keys. You will figure it out best that way. Good luck
