animations inside a vehicle help

[m1lkm8n 411]

hey guys. so we have animated the crane from a2 by turning it into a tank_f class and I need some help trying to get other animations working.

currently the boom and the hookpully system work by way of classing them as the gunner turret. but I wanted the hook to be able to drop down via a useraction. now the anim works in bulldozer but for whatever reason it wont in game even tho im fairly sure my config is correct.

secondly is there a way I have the gunner turn the crane off and on or must he be the driver?

heres the video

main config:

enum {
destructengine = 2,
destructdefault = 6,
destructwreck = 7,
destructtree = 3,
destructtent = 4,
stabilizedinaxisx = 1,
stabilizedinaxesxyz = 4,
stabilizedinaxisy = 2,
stabilizedinaxesboth = 3,
destructno = 0,
stabilizedinaxesnone = 0,
destructman = 5,
destructbuilding = 1
};

oh also the markerlights don't work. Can tanks have markerlights?

thanks guys any help is greatly appreciated. this is my first venture into a vehicle class..mainly I stick with buildings..but this is fun :D

[HorribleGoat 1473]

Not completely sure here, but try to put the class Hook source="user"; as source="Hook"; as in you AnimationSource. Also just as a thought wouldn't static turret be a better base for immobile crane?

Edited May 16, 2014 by HorribleGoat

[m1lkm8n 411]

I'm pretty sure I did have user as hook at one point. But I'll try it again.

Also I did have it classed as a staticweapon but the sounds wouldn't work.

[HorribleGoat 1473]

If the tank class works then then why not. I'll take a shot at reproducing this weekend if I find some spare time! I'll let you know.

[m1lkm8n 411]

Ok for anyone interested it seems that the translation animations are borked when trying to apply translation to multiple selections each with a different axis and translation orientation. As soon as I switched the hook from translation to rotation it worked fine. So I just moved the mem point back a bit and gave it a small deg radius and it looks like the hook is lowering pretty good. Oh well TIA.

[HorribleGoat 1473]

I vaguely remember having similar trouble once with the translation anim, great that you were able to work past it!
