| Post subject: | ANIMATION MODE?? |
Hi can any of you modders out there list a description of the 4 animation modesor point me to some enlightening documentation (tried search forum and wiki already). I am making a melee weapon and need it to run through a 12 frame animation in sequence every time the fire button is pressed. Thanks in advance |

Roon3 yeah been working on that basis so far but probably incorrectly using mode 4 CrazyMLC cheers but what do you mean by open/close? and is there known limits on anim modes depending on class of object e.g heads on actors cannot anim' I hear? |

Guns don't animate properly still. If you want a melee weapon to animate properly you're going to need lua. |

For example, the Coalition Gatling gun is SpriteAnimMode = 4, and in the gatling gun's case, creates the "wind-up" effect. This would be LoopWhenFiring. |

Yeah you just have to watch it if you want it for a straight animation per shot you need to get the timing (anim duration and number of frames) to fit so the spin up animation wont look like the weapon is going into spasm also the number of rounds per minute would need tweaking to fit the animation speed. sneak a request in here anyone fancy doing some animation proof of concepts so we can raise our game?? |
