Need Help: Animation => Translation

[Crowe 0]

Hi all!

i am trying to build a sliding door for a bunker.

In the model i have defined in LOD 0:

autocenter = 0

In the Memory Lod I have set up:

Door_axis => 2 Points along the axis

Dooropen => 1 point near the entrance

start => 1 point where the animation should start

start2 => 1 point where the animation should end

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgSkeletons

{

scope = public;

class Default

{

isDiscrete = 1;

skeletonInherit = "";

skeletonBones[] = {};

};

class schleuse

{

isDiscrete=1;

skeletonInherit="";

skeletonBones[]=

{

"Door",

""

};

};

};

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class CfgModels

{

class schleuse

{

sectionsInherit = "";

sections[]=

{

"Door"

};

skeletonName="schleuse";

class Animations

{

class Door1

{

type="translation";

source="user";

animPeriod=1;

memory=1;

selection="Door";

axis="Door_axis";

offset0=-10; // Starting offset of this animation, where the animation phase is 0.

offset1=10; // Ending offset of this animation, where the animation phase is 1.

minValue = -10;

maxValue = 10;

minPhase = -10;

maxPhase = 10;

//sourceAddress Does the animation loop or not? This can be any of three different values: clamp (default), loop or mirror. Any

//axisPos[] Position of axis in model space Direct

//axisDir[] Direction of axis (vector) Direct

//axisOffset Used for translation Direct

};

};

};

};

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class cfgVehicles

{

class schleuse : decke

{

displayName = "schleuse";

vehicleClass = "lego";

model="\crowe_lego\schleuse";

animated = true;

destrType=DestructTent;

armor=20;

class AnimationSources

{

class Door1 {animPeriod = 12;};

};

class UserActions

{

class OpenDoors

{

displayNameDefault = $STR_DN_OUT_O_DOOR_DEFAULT;

displayName = $STR_DN_OUT_O_DOOR;

position = Dooropen;

radius = 10;

onlyForPlayer = true;

condition = "this animationPhase ""Door1"" < 0.5";

statement = "this animate [""Door1"", 1]";

};

class CloseDoors

{

displayNameDefault = $STR_DN_OUT_C_DOOR_DEFAULT;

displayName = $STR_DN_OUT_C_DOOR;

position = Dooropen;

radius = 10;

onlyForPlayer = true;

condition = "this animationPhase ""Door1"" >= 0.5";

statement = "this animate [""Door1"", 0]";

};

};

actionBegin1 = OpenDoors;

actionEnd1 = OpenDoors;

};

};

This causes the door to move about 100 metres away, but along the axis.

I want the door to move only 5 meters.

Please help.

Thanks in advace.

Yours

translations work best with a start and end point defined, not a rotation axis. An example from a recoil anims

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class main_recoil

{

type="translation";

source="50_recoil";

selection="main_recoil";

begin="recoil_start";

end="recoil_end";

initPhase=0;

memory=1;

animPeriod =.5;

sourceAddress="loop";

minValue=0;

maxValue=1;

offset0=0;

offset1=1;

};

if you place the start and end points 5m apart in the model, the door will move 5m. Obviously you need to change things to suit your addon.
