[Physics problem?]

Objects drop thru floor if I just change the name. I will try a clean install. May be some mix up of files.I am using 2.43.

I notice that enabled is set to false by default in properties.

[Physics problem?]

Thanks for advice, I will redo with phygen. I have 2 instances of one character,one of which is ok and one goes thru floor

[Physics problem?]

I have given my characters a box shaped physics body which mostly works fine but recently some of them have started to drop thru the floor after i set mass value and other settings.

Does anyone know the cause of this?

[camera going thru walls]

Yeah going thhrough pillars looks good. We often see this effect in films. But my camera goes through walls in the middle of a sword fight.I made the room bigger to avoid this but thats just a fudge. I prefer a coding solution.

[camera going thru walls]

Is there any way of stopping camera going thru walls in a 3rd person game. ?

I agree with macklebee, and thanks mack for getting back on subject.

An ADITTIONAL forum on blitz website would be fine, but keep the one here also.

[Import texturized models from 3DWS?]

Use Genmat for making mat files of background textures but not for anims.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any code on loading in a single animation sequence?

Will lua be any faster in le3?

[Up to date support for bmax :)]

A lot of people use bmax on this forum and while many of us could switch to c+= without too much hassle we prefer not to do so.

Bmax is good enough as it stands without further development at least for a few years.

[Up to date support for bmax :)]

I am a programmer of limited ability but I won't have a problem translating c++ api functiond into bmav.

As long as there are third party examples such as we have now I will be ok.

I also know the basics of c++ and c#

[Character cheats death]

Ok. I think I figured it out.try something tommorow.

[Character cheats death]

I have a character who engages an enemy in a sword fight. If I want my character to die (the character attached to the player) it will not go into the "die" animation sequence.

I tested the sequence outside of my game and iy works fine.

[Character cheats death]

No its not a newspaper headline its a problem with 3rd person character.

When I need my character to die he will not go into the die animation.

Is this because he is parented to the player? If so what can be done about it?

[What is the perfect GCard for LW ?]

Why wait for le3? Get le 2 and a cheap upgrade to le3 later.

[to wall]

Why not write it in your own language and let someone interpret it for you.

[DEXSOFT-Games: FREE Medieval pack]

Very nice. Thanks.

[Animation apps]

Thanks for replies. A tut on Blender would be very usefull.

[Animation apps]

When making a 3rd person game using game packs as assets it soon becomes obvious that the provided anims are restricted and put a limit on what can be done.

So I need an easy to use animation app.

I have only Blender at the moment. Can anyone reccomend such an app?.Thanks.

[How do LoadAnimation/Animate work ?]

Do not understand what you are trying to do.

Are you loading in anim sequences seperatly.

Niddlewerks

 

gmf static mesh viewer and scaler.

 

They don't scale bodies though as far as I know.

[Lack of scaling in Editor]

There are already a couple of thired party apps that do the job.
