Help with hexing .dog file that starts as an "egg"

[Cookiedough]

Hi so Im trying to make an easter chick file from a dog but I want it to start as an egg. Like the dinosaurs on PUGs. How do you make it so its an egg when its a baby? Thanks

This sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it. c:

There's a tutorial from Carolyn found here. Basically, the "egg" will be addballz, and in the adult LNZ the sizes are very small, but in the child LNZ list their ball numbers under [Ball Size Override] with the correct size they should be.

Likewise, you can use the [Ball Size Override] section in the child LNZ to list all the main balls of the pet, with the sizes being very small. This will make it so the egg sheds away as the legs/arms/tail/etc grow as it ages. c:

edit: back with some pics. :3 So, I tested on a calico right quick, and this is a snippet of what the [Ball Size Override] section looks like in the child LNZ, nothing was changed in the adult:


I listed all the ball numbers for the legs/fingers/toes/tail and made them size -50.

And that produces this:

Her legs/etc. grows in as she ages.

Hope this helps. c:
