Incredible animation that may work on your models

[PiNs_Da_Smoka 0]

THis may be old hat for some of you, but I just noticed how great the "flapping" animation is for the flags you carry in "capture the flag" missions.

Has anyone noticed how the flag you carry seems to know the wind direction and reacts to how fast you are walking / running? It's really a cool effect, and I can imagine how fantastic it would be if used on clothing (robes, trenchcoat, etc) or just as a flag that is put on a vehicle.

I haven't figured out what properties make the flag behave this way, but if we can reproduce it...

=)

P.S.

I know this had been mentioned before in the General forum, but i would really like to know if anyone knows the names of everything, because i would like to do a few little tests on this subject

Good stuff guys.. now do you know how I can attach the flag to this:

Just needs a few extra touches.

Hmm....i believe that you only need attach a proxy to the vehicle for where the flag should go. But that would mean you have to add the flag with SetFlagOwner or something like that. I'm not sure how you can permanantly attach it to the car.

Heh, would be cool to have jackets move when you run! If its.. possible.

Yeah, or Matrix style tranch coats as Pins mentioned in his first post....that would rock...
