animation

[Farlas]

I have got a pack of 3D fish and i use one with a spline path for animation.

 

there is something specific to do before export ?

 

actually i select fish and export and check animation box and in gmf viewver i see the animation working but nothing in editor move

 

So maybe name it specifically , i have take a look into the soldier example i see a soldier.gmf for the models witouht animation and other gmf file corresponding to different animation so do we need to do it if the models have only 1 animation in loop ?

 

if someone have a little lua example of loading animation(only 1 and in loop) i take it

 

(i don't know wich section is good cause i sak if its 3D or name specific or script so sorry if its not the good one)

If your fish model is called say .. fish.gmf ( imaginative I know ) then create a .lua file called fish.lua (see the pattern? lol) in the same directory as the model ..

 

require("scripts/class")

local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
       local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

function object:Render()                
frame = (AppTime()/35.0) % (ENDFRAME-STARTFRAME) + 1                
model:Animate( frame, 1,0, 1 )         
       end
end

 

replace the ENDFRAME and STARTFRAME with the values for the end and start frames of the animation ..

 

(AppTime()/35.0)

 

Altering the denominator here (35.0) to a higher or lower value increases and decreases the animation play back... Higher = slower : Lower = Faster.

 

(could be a few errors this is off the top of my head.)

ok that what i do (take example from soldier) but not working in Leadwerks 2.4 (i have another issue with mass and physics too on my models too you put what you want in mass objects stay in air)

 

so maybe its coming from the 2.4

 

i open an old backup version and my fish swim into the water and move like animate it with no change.

Yeah, that made about as much sense as Macklebee ... you need to explain more...

 

your mass and physics issue is more than likely you are not using the correct type of .phy file.
