How do LoadAnimation/Animate work ?

[Roland]

I have a model that will have quite a number of animations.

There is no problem with getting the model with is idle animation into LE2.

Now I want to add more animations by loading them from GMF files (same Model, same Rig, another animation).

Those GMF files contains the animaton and the bones (no mesh).

 

This is what I thought would work with this approach.

TModel model = LoadModel( "abstract::mymodel.gmf");      // CountAnimations returns 1
LoadAnimation( model,  "abstract::mymodel@walk.gmf");  // CountAnimations returns 2
LoadAnimation( model,  "abstract::mymodel@run.gmf");  // CountAnimations returns 3
// ... more animations...

// Main loop
Animate( model, AppTime()/30, 1, curAnimation ) ; // where curAnimation = 0, 1, 2

 

The only animation that works is the one in the original model file ( curAnimation ).

I have checked that each gmf-file has a working animation in the ModelViewer and they are all ok

 

Where is my misstake ?

 

Thanks

Do not understand what you are trying to do.

Are you loading in anim sequences seperatly.

Yes, it's the best way to have animations in seperate gmf files. Roland said in his status update though that he got it to work. I wonder what the trick was?

Will make a tutorial on that.
