Setting animation sequence play speed

by TerroX · in Torque Game Engine · 02/13/2002 (7:05 pm) · 2 replies

This is mainly a Tribes2 question - but should be applicable for Torque too.

How do I set the anim speed to be any different from default 1.0 scale?

I want make the RUN sequence play 2 times faster when a dude runs, is this stuck in the engine code or can it be overridden? I know in DTSview there is a slider for speed and it does .settimescale or something, but I dont know how to use that info to make a anim sequence look different.

I don't think you can set the animation speeds from the script code.

You cannot do it from the script. HOWEVER, it is very easy from the code. There is a nice little variable called timeScale I think, probably in actionAnimation. It is 1 by default, and changing it will make the anim correspondingly faster or slower. It isnt a hard change.
