Yes a NULL Figure should solve your problems. The procedure is:

1. Load a NULL figure, select its "Body" actor. Load your first character figure.
2. Load another NULL Figure , select its "Body" actor. Load your next character figure.
3. Repeat step #2 for subsequent figures.

The important thing in a NULL Figure is that it should list all the actors (body parts) that might contain a master dial. If your figure uses the standard list of actor names (most do) you should be able to use one of the existing NULL Figures such as one by Rob Whisenant (aka "rbtwhiz"):

If your figure does not use standard names for the actors you may have to build your own NULL Figure.

The NULL Figure needs to list all the actors in the format:

{<br></br><br></br>version<br></br>       {<br></br>   number 4.01<br></br> }<br></br><br></br>actor BODY:1<br></br>       {<br></br>   }<br></br>actor hip:1<br></br>    { <br></br>  }<br></br>actor abdomen:1<br></br>        {  <br></br> }<br></br>[etc, etc]

Then you need a "figure" section with all the "addChild" stuff in it, you can leave out the stuff that follows the addChild section. Thats it really.

You can make a couple of improvements:

actor BODY:1<br></br>       {<br></br>   name    GetStringRes(1024,1)<br></br>        }

This will insure that you see "BODY" when you select the Body, rather than seeing "No Actor".

You can also add this just above the closing brace of the file, it will insure that the BODY actor of the NULL Figure in automaticly selected when the NULL is loaded:

doc<br></br>  {<br></br>   pickActor BODY:1<br></br>    }
