Hello everyone.

I need help on how I can manage to animate a headgear, in this case a helmet. So what i’m trying to do is to make the face part rotate and then to slide to a given position.
I have these axis called:
face_open_stage1_axis

face_slide_axis

mask.

 

Everything works fine in OB but when I pack it, it gives me a lot of warning. But no error. And when i test it ingame the helpmet is betwen the characters legs.

I figured that the problem is that I don't know where to put the selection of the bone in the model.cfg. I tried a lot of things but no results. 

When I pack everything without the face_open selection inside the bone list it works great ingame.

 

Picture 1 = Selections.

 

Picture 2 = Memory Lod.

You have the named selections named but do you actually have them defined in the model?

The only reasons the model would be between the character's legs are:

  1. You haven't defined the named selections correctly in the model.
  2. The model.cfg isn't in the same directory as the model when you Binarize/Pack it.
  3. You aren't Binarizing the model and as such the model.cfg isn't being applied.

It might help to know what the warnings were that you got when packing.

Like i said when i pack the mod without the animation parts it works great and everything works. But when i pack it with the animation parts it gives me this error:

14:31:55: Error: Bad entry count in model.cfg/CfgSkeletons/OFP2_ManSkeleton/ skeleton

and alot of these errors:

14:31:56: Warning: iron_man\model\dex_iron_man_mask_f.p3d:1, vertex: 3485, sum of weights is 200, should be 100

 

So im not sure what i need to do to be able to animate it.

In hind sight I'm not even sure you can animate helmets. I can't find the thread on here now but I'm sure its been discussed before...

If that is the case then no wonder i cant get it to work. Since I have done animations on vehicles and other things but never a headgear or anything conected the character 🙂
