Title: Omg this is stupid!
Post by: Vengence on January 03, 2007, 05:07:52 pm

I'm trying to get a subobject to rotate like a gattling gun and I'm getting loads of stupid errors. I set the POF to rotate within the properties and now I'm sure it is the tables that is causing the problems. I never did an animation before so I need some advice on how this should work out:

Code: [Select]

$Subsystem:                     Object01,                                10,1.0
  $animation: triggered
  $type: initial
  +relative_angle: 0,0,0
  +sub_type: 1
  +delay: 1000
  +velocity: 0,0,90
This should be set to rotate only when I'm working the second primary.

EDIT:

Changed the code:

Code: [Select]

$Subsystem:                     Object01,                                10,1.0
  $animation: triggered
  $type: primary_bank
  +delay: 0
  +relative_angle: 0,0,0
  +velocity: 0,0,90
  +acceleration: 0,0,100
I get no bugs but the gun doesn't rotate.

Is this for a fighter or a Capship?

Fighter. Don't tell me it only works for capitals :(

It only works for capitals....

Good news is, it's actually easier to do on fighters :)

Take a look at:


www.aqsx85.dsl.pipex.com/Azaes.zip

Check in the Azaes-shp.tbm and look at the $Weapon Model Draw Distance and $Show Primary Model settings, and in Maul-wep.tbm and look at $Model File onwards for about 3 lines to get an idea of how it's done on fighter-based weapons :)

and that trigger is for when you _select_ a bank, not fire it.

Huh, I see. I'd rather not spent alot of time going over re-exporting the models given how many times it crashes on me but I'll keep these codes incase I need them.
