Custom CfgModels Animations on Characters models

[SoldierIsNotHistory 0]

Hey there,

I try to define a class Animations with user animations in a character model.

And the only part I can move are weapon, launcher and NVG.

No way to move a custom selection.

Someone has already suceed in moving custom selection part in a model which is a characters?

My cpp:

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

{

class Default;

class Head

{

isDiscrete = 0;

skeletonInherit = "";

skeletonBones[] =

{

"neck","",

"neck1","neck",

"head","neck1",

"lBrow","head",

"mBrow","head",

"rBrow","head",

"lMouth","head",

"mMouth","head",

"rMouth","head",

"eyelids","head",

"LLip","head"

};

};

class Flag: Default {};

class FlagCarrier: Default

{

skeletonInherit = "Default";

skeletonBones[] =

{

"stozar","",

"vlajka",""

};

};

class OFP2_ManSkeleton

{

isDiscrete = 0;

skeletonInherit = "Head";

skeletonBones[] =

{

"weapon","",

"launcher","",

"Camera","",

"Spine","",

"Spine1","",

"Spine2","",

"Spine3","",

"Pelvis","",

"LeftShoulder","",

"LeftArm","",

"LeftArmRoll","",

"LeftForeArm","",

"LeftForeArmRoll","",

"LeftHand","",

"LeftHandRing","",

"LeftHandRing1","",

"LeftHandRing2","",

"RightHandPinky1","",

"RightHandPinky2","",

"RightHandPinky3","",

"RightHandMiddle1","",

"RightHandMiddle2","",

"RightHandMiddle3","",

"RightHandIndex1","",

"RightHandIndex2","",

"RightHandIndex3","",

"RightHandThumb1","",

"RightHandThumb2","",

"RightHandThumb3","",

"LeftUpLeg","",

"LeftUpLegRoll","",

"LeftLeg","",

"LeftLegRoll","",

"LeftFoot","",

"LeftToeBase","",

"RightUpLeg","",

"RightUpLegRoll","",

"RightLeg","",

"RightLegRoll","",

"RightFoot","",

"RightToeBase","",

"myselection","",

};

};

};

class CfgModels

{

class Default

{

skeletonName = "";

sectionsInherit="";

sections[] = {};

};

class flag_vojak : Default

{

sections[] =

{

"latka"

};

};

class Head: Default

{

skeletonName = "Head";

sectionsInherit="";

sections[] =

{

"osobnost","brejle"

};

};

class Soldier_MDL: Default

{

skeletonName = "OFP2_ManSkeleton";

sections[] =

{

"osobnost","Head_Injury","Body_Injury",

"l_leg_injury","l_arm_injury",

"r_arm_injury","r_leg_injury",

"clan"

};

class Animations

{

class myanimation

{

type="rotation";

source="mysource";

selection="myselection";

axis="myaxis";

memory="true";

angle0="0";

angle1="rad 60";

};

};

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class Soldier_MDL

{

(...)

class AnimationSources

{

class mysource

{

source = "user";

animPeriod = 1;

initPhase=1;

};

};

(...)

};

};

With selection="myselection"; nothing is moving

With selection="weapon"; weapon is moving

With selection="Head"; nothing is moving

So the question is, how to animate a characters model with own selection?

Thx for reading

I tried your example and the animation worked in o2. Are you saying that it doesn't work ingame only? BTW you should really use a model.cfg instead of doing all that stuff in the config.cpp file. A few ideas:

1. Is the animated object attached to a certain part of the model? if it isn't, it would appear below ground.

2. Try making it a sub-bone of the bodypart its attached to ie.

"head","",

"myanimation", "head",

3. check for case sensitivity (I sometimes get this error)

maybe post up a picture or something to give us a better idea of what the problem is

I've got a similar problem - no matter what I try, I can't make my soldier unit have linear animations. Rotation, translation, doesn't matter; it won't work. I've tried a multitude of skeleton setups and different cfgmodels setups, but the animate command does nothing.

Current model.cfg in use:

code removed due to problem already encountered, see below

At this point, I'm not even sure if it's possible to have linear animations on a soldier unit?

EDIT:

It would appear there's a limitation as to whether or not we can define custom animation sources for soldier units - or we need to use a special source name of some form...

EDIT2:

Ok, according to this thread, we cannot combine rtm animations and cfg animations. If you're working with soldier units, they must be animated purely with rtm. Bummer!
