Crouching, Kneelig, Prone Positions

by Joseph A. Smugeresky · in Artist Corner · 03/28/2002 (4:03 pm) · 5 replies

Question,

When adding the three above actions to a model animation, does the engine source need to be modified in order for a player to crawl, or move while crouching?

Thanks

I haven't done work in this area but I'm pretty sure it's possible: Tribes has lots of animations for their player models (V G A *).

As far as I know you will need to make seperate animations for those movements because the body is in different pos's. the body moves different in a crouched pos and also in the prone when walk upright so seperate threads are needed.

For the crouch i made (which you cant move, or you will come out of the crouch, which is what i wanted) i didnt need engine changes, hell i only added one line to script for it, just a key bind. But for the others, something major (aka engine programming) would have to be done. I looked a bit into it, decided it wasnt worth my trouble... But im interested in the results :)
