Hello Everyone,

How can i change the Z position of racks, which is attached ( for creating a train) with a transporter ?

The model is attached for understanding the problem better !!

Hmm - lots of secondary warnings and considerations aside, you could try adding a node called 'nopredraw'. This will mean the forks are no longer drawn for offset operations and there may be other consequences.

You'd probably be better trying a BasicTE.

you can move your racks in the node drawsurrogate of your transporter using moveobject.

Thanks For your replay,

i created a node called "drawsurrogat" in the Transporter and i moved the rack in to the drawsurrogat node.
but once i moved the rack, it is not visible in the model

It has to be "drawsurrogate"

Please have a look into the tree of an operator and into the animation creator of this operator, if you are looking for an example.
