Bone control

by Martin Wareham · in Torque Game Engine · 05/04/2005 (4:58 pm) · 3 replies

I would like to control a certain bone in a mesh via key strokes, i.e. rotate a certain part of a mesh associated with a bone/node in real time. Is there a way of finding a bone name from my object ID so I can then start to transform it (rotate, translate e.t.c.).

Thanks.

Hmm, perhaps adding an animation thread that rotates the particular bone? Do you neen to just 'rotate it' or do you need to rrotate it 'x degrees'

There's an array in the TS code that stores all the nodes; I've had good luck manipulating it directly. There's also support for callbacks and some other things. Do a bit of reading, you'll find it. :)

The custom shape mod allows you to find a bone, and scale it... I'm sure adding the ability to rotate wouldn't be too much more difficult to add.
