mesh.parts elements missing
Hi there!

I have a Chr object (default from the tutorials). I have added a bunch of boxes as mesh parts on this object (object editor -> mesh -> parts -> new -> box).

However, when I loop over the mesh.parts of this Chr in code, I find that only one of them got actually added. Removing and adding them all didn't help. They have no material assigned, but assigning a material also didn't fix it.

I checked the source code but don't see anything obvious that could be causing this. Any ideas?

1) mesh parts with the same material are merged together
2) to draw parts with null material, you need to enable D.drawNullMaterials or something like that

I'm adding them as hitboxes, so I don't really want to draw them anyway (hence, I assign no material).
But that does indeed seem to merge them all together. Can I disable this behaviour somehow, or do I need to add a different, empty, material per hitbox?

To disable merging, apart from setting different materials, you can just assign different "Draw Group" enums. See "Groups" tab in Object Editor.
