Animations for melee and dual weapons?
by Kirchgessner · in Torque Game Engine · 12/14/2005 (10:29 am) · 7 replies
Ok, i'm not very good at messing with the torque engine scripts, but i was wondering...
Could someone help me to figure out how to have both melee animations, plus dual weilding animations for both gun type weapons and sword like weapons. Plus have numerous animations for swords.
Basically this is what i want to do... If i have two weapons weilded in my game then i want a melee attack for both weapons, and the same for single weapons. Then also i want the engine to recognize wether or not the player has 1 or 2 pistols, a rifle, or a sword then when the engine determines that...it changes the player.cs (the one thats in the model folder that lines up sequences) to the appropriate look animations, holding animations, etc., etc.
Hopefully i didn't lose anybody.
I know that i want an option variable that says something like weapontype = dual or single or melee (1 or 2 pistols, rifle, sword) this variable will be located in the player datablock.
I know alot of people could use this if it was put up for a resource.
So your help would be greatly appreciated.

I know about the code block i haven't tried it either but i was just wanting to put it all together with multiple animations of each of the three sets. Including the engine determing (or a script) what holding anim, look anims, and other animations to use.if that makes it any more clearer

I have another question that will clear some stuff up for me. Is there some sort of mount animation for weapons, similar to the mount sequences used to sit in a vehicle but for the arms of a player. this includes the look animations as well.

Tip: There's an edit button on your posts. Rather than make a new post and bumping the thread up in the list a lot, it's generally better to condense your findings into an edited post. Also it takes more than a few hours to get a reply. The entire community usually isn't on the computer 24/7. ;)
