lol... oops Hence the reason it crashes. End and start time are both the same.

Can someone give me an idea what I got wrong here. I can put the model in the editor, but as soon as I set the values for the idle animation I get Exception violation, and it crashes.

I haven't tested that part yet... I am trying to debug it so it won't crash all the time, so it means adding alot of if then checks, because if the start frame and end frame ever end up both being 0, it will crash the editor

Needed: Way to check what the message recieved from key board controller for movement animation Let me know what you think

that one is much easier than the lua site. thanks also.. I call group:AddProperty("idle_start", PROPERTY_INTEGER, "", "Idle Start Frame") but when I try to reference that value, it always pulls the default value only? object.framestart = object:GetKey("idle_start", "450") Is this not the right syntax?

@Rick.. Using your character thingoid if you assign the character to it, would the character lua code, then become the child of the character controller? I am wondering, because the animation sequences would be in the update() part of the character script, but trying to find the way to assign when key pressed play this sequence..

frame = math.fmod(AppTime()/35,frameend-framestart)+framestart it was math.fmod that I wanted. Thanks for your help

cool.. Thank you

whats the lua for the fmodf function in c++?

yup. link broke

If you use the project wizard there is a resource file.. IDI_ICON1 ICON "le_test.ico" You should be able to change that... I haven't tried yet

Thats fantastic.. Very nice.

I noticed when I first ran it, the particles were off to the right, and I had to click the move right button 5-6 times to get the particles on screen.... I also use ATI, so it shouldn't be that.

what if you put the : Flip(0) inside your if statement?

hmm.. Well hopefully someone will post a few hints as to how to call the animation sequences in Lua..

So as long as you know the frame range for each animation, you can assign each animation to what ever you want then?

Anyone have an example of the lua script for the animation of the models. Also, does the wiki have the bone names and requirements listed anywhere? I can't seem to find it.

yup. The mipmaps must have been the problem. Thank you.

very nice.. Keep it up, looking very promising.

I haven't checked. The DDS are straight from dexsoft. Edit: doesn't appear they are.
