I've made a cat tree with 3 platforms/scratching posts and want a cat to be able to use all three. I looked at the rigs but didn't change anything as I'm not sure what to change. What/how should I edit it to be usable? Thanks for any help!

Based on this thread, it appears you'll have to adjust the slots and make some XML changes so that the slot changes work correctly. Here is a tutorial that may help you. The tutorial isn't exactly what you're trying to do as it's for a bed that allows dogs on it and you don't want that. Basically, you'd need to have three "subroot...position" slots and it looks like your package does, but you need to edit the positions. Currently each slot is in the 0, 0, 0, position on the X, Y, Z axis. Here's a tutorial that covers positioning slots. Then you'll need to make an XML edit so that the slots work correctly. HOWEVER, it appears that the XML tuning part of the tutorial is just so that you can have more than one cat using the cat tree at the same time. So, I guess if you don't want that you can skip the XML tuning part and just reposition the slots. HOWEVER (lol), if you get a script call failure error—which maybe happens if you add or delete slots—then you will have to make an XML edit after all.

Okay, so I have taken a look at your package in the game and how the original object works.
I'm not sure that it is going to be possible to make it usable so that cats can sit on it and scratch it.
It seems that the game calculates the height that the cat should jump to based on the highest point of the object.
I moved the slots so that there was one under each post. The cat would correctly go to each individual post to scratch them but they would always jump to the very top platform if told to sit on it and would usually float off to one side directly over the ROOT slot.
It should be possible to make it so that cats can sit on each of the platforms if you clone it from a pet bed but then that would remove the ability for cats to scratch it.

Thank you! I'll try that. Maybe I could make 2 versions (sit and scratch) and place them together in-game as a work around. I appreciate you taking the time to look at it!
