maddogx 12 Posted December 30, 2002 Animations can also be triggered from outside the action menu using script. Say you want landing gear to retract: this Animate ["landingGear", 1] whereby "landingGear" would be the name of the animation you defined in 'class Animations' in your config.cpp. And by the way: if you want to see what animation can do, go here and click on 'get it'. This is an addon and a small test mission I made for my own Stargate mod. But be very patient when running the mission, as the Stargate takes a while to dial in...

Tanelorn 0 Posted December 31, 2002 Mod Team Leader is in the building. =) I have extensively experimented with multiple animations. I actually have a very detailed post about this kind of stuff floating around this forum, complete with screenshots. You'll have to do a search for my posts tho, cuz I haven't a clue how far back in the history it is now. Anyway... for vehicles we are in trouble. 1. We can only rotate. Translation is only possible if you make an axis very far away, and it's only believable if you animate a small object. 2. You can not assign more than one animation for the same named selection. This is even true if you group sections together with a different named selection. Believe me, I've tried. <8/ 3. You CAN NOT use custom animations on memory points. 4. you CAN NOT animate hit point LODs (to my knowledge) 5. You CAN animate land contact and vertices on the resolution LODs. 6. you CAN animate geometry LODs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
