I don't understand the MonsterAI.lua and AnimationManager.lua.

[Deadlyforce]

I'm imported a character into the game and want to animate it.

It has animation but don't see where to call the animation in the script when the character sees me.

 

I have looked through the monsterai and animationmanager scripts.

I see where it is calling roam, attack, idle and dying but don't see where these (roam, attack, idle, and dying) are at.

 

Any help at all to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks for the help.

If you open the monster model (not the prefab) and go into the animation tab, you will see these animations listed.

Review the Models and Animation tutorial - section 7 Animation.

I don't understand how it knows where the animation is. It must also be case sensitive.

I kind of understand it but not fully. After you set frame # to frame # then name it and save.

Where is it saved? How does it know to go where it is saved?

Sorry to be a pain in the but.

[macklebee]

Its saved within the model (MDL) file itself, just like your exported model has the animations embedded in the FBX.

OK I'm starting to understand.

One thing that is odd to me is that the code is calling chase, but the animation is called Run.

I changed the animation to chase at first and didn't work. Changed it to Run and it worked.

Obviously I'm not a programmer but I do know that in programming you keep what you are calling the same.

 

Thanks guys very much for the help.

you cant have a chase animation but you can have a run animation, what would chase even look like
