Didn't want to spam things up, so I'm just recycling this thread. The two posts directly after OP are related to the question at the bottom.


Question: How do I move feet down? I've searched the whole forum, wiki, other inis, the walkpath tutorial and all, but for some reason I am completely unable to get the feet on my actor lower. I've changed every variable I can think of. Please help!







Old Question: Is it possible to put a craft engine on a "lower layer", or beneath other parts of the actor? I'm trying to make a drop ship in which the engine is not "above" (on the z plane) the craft. I've tried making an entirely seperate attachable to go over the engine, but it seems as if it gets top priority no matter what. Any ideas?

Look at the dummy DS, i think it was something with DrawAfterParent = 0 or something.

YES! Thank you. I really should have known that.

If it counts, I did search quite a bit, but it's a difficult thing to come up with the right terms to describe.

*bump* for new question.

I think it's 'extended length' or something like that.

Extended and ContractedOffset respectively, as vectors. JointOffset of the foot as well, partially. make sure you're JointOffset for the leg is correct as well.

Thanks guys!
Now to get the walk paths right for a 306 pixel tall actor.

I'm facing similar issues, dont worry about that <_<

I can't seem to get walkpaths much longer than 100px myself, not sure why. The extendedoffset is set to be 210.

Ah ♥♥♥♥, you're kidding me

So this is probably not possible? I made so many sprites!

It may just be I'm trying to do something it doesn't want to do. The Gundam's legs are supposed to be fully extended when walking, currently I can only get them to extend about halfway in normal walking. I might need to copy the last frame a couple times and mess with it so that it's halfway extended at the "last" frame.

EDIT: Well, I got it to work, but it looks pretty bad. I fooled it into looking somewhat normal by putting the foot groups 80 px below the actual foot, then fiddling with the leg frames until they were approximately right. Unfortunately, the foot imprint on the ground is behind the actual foot (attached to the leg) when swinging forward and before the actual foot when swinging backward.

Bah, close enough. How tall is this actor?

I'd post pics of mine but it's for the Mod Contest.

Scratch that again. Apparently the leg just follows the footgroup no matter the offset. I had to manually change the footgroups to be lower (all the atoms moved down 10 px) and reset the footgroup joint offset.
The actor I'm doing is the Gundam, coming soon to a Mod Releases near you.

♥♥♥♥ this.
Giving up.
