| Post subject: | Length of arms and hand/wrist positioning |
So I'm creating an actor that is much larger than the basic ones, but I've already run into some issues. After increasing the length of his arms/sprite the hands are no longer in an accurate spot, no matter what offset i change. And then when I've come close to having them in the right position, in-game they seem to float and stretch away from the "wrist." I either must be changing the wrong settings or hands and arms are more complicated than i thought. Any help? Thanks! |

It's found in the Atom Groups I think... I'm not sure...... BUUUT, did you check out the Liberty Prime mod?? That could release some clues for you. |

You are definitely onto something with the atom groups. I looked around the forums and found an interesting experiment a guy did, regarding changing the weight of feet to accommodate for large actors. But he mentioned that he modified the atoms groups in the Base.rte in the actors ini? I went in there and I feel like I'm really close to having an idea, but I'm not sure what I should be editing: Code: AddActor = AtomGroup PresetName = HandGroup AutoGenerate = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -5 Y = 2 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -5 Y = 1 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -5 Y = 0 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -4 Y = 0 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -3 Y = 0 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -2 Y = 0 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Offset = Vector X = -1 Y = 0 Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 AddAtom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Rubber TrailLength = 0 JointOffset = Vector X = 0 Y = 1 My assumption is the Jointoffset but there's so many repeating "AddAtoms = Atom" I wonder if they are important too. Secondly, If i were to copy/paste that hand code into my own actors ini and rename HandGroup to something like "MechhandGroup" which part of this code in my actors ini would i replace with the new name? Code: HandGroup = AtomGroup CopyOf = HandGroup //EDIT: SO I made the new handgroup in my own actor ini(before the actors loading ofcourse), I then changed the above code to: Code: HandGroup = AtomGroup CopyOf = MechHandGroup |
