Hello I have a problem with my animation, I created a secret brick opening that is animated (Der!). The animation works great until it has finished closing. I can open it and there is no problem. The animation when open shows below:

This is what it looks like when it is closed again:

I have been through the FPE but can't find what is wrong, the FPE code is below:

Please can anyone help

It might not be the FPE but instead the Lua.

I have seen similar things like this and most of the time is the lua unless the animation is bugged.

@Timba The animation seems fine in my 3D program and I have not had this problem before when exporting animations, the lua I am using is the standard door.lua, so I am not sure where to go from here.

Hi, TazMan

If you are stuck you could try shorting up the frames to see if it makes any difference.

from
;anim
animmax = 2
anim0 = 0,150
anim1 = 151,299
playanimineditor = 0

to say
;anim
animmax = 2
anim0 = 0,100
anim1 = 201,290
playanimineditor = 0

Might be worth a go..

EDIT: get rid of the autoflattern to see if it make a difference. autoflattern = 0 instead..

Hi Tazman.

Try to add this line

isimmobile = 1

and try also the strenght to 0.
So thats it is not moveble.

as harry said isimmobile = 1 should stop it happening (you can set this in the fpe too), it's to do with the collision box that's created after it's closed (you can also double check the origin/axis points of the model)

is diagon alley behind the wall?

Thats fantastic I put autoflatten = 0, strength = 0 and isimmobile = 1, it works great

except this has thrown up another problem. When the door has finished it's animation I can walk straight through it. I thought that when it has gone through the hole cycle of the animation that it was solid. Sorry to be a pain

Thanks everyone so far.

In your modeling app you need the first frame of the anim to be the closed version before exporting, this is the shape GG will create the collision envelope for. Turn off collision after open animation has run and turn on when closed in script (same as doors) .
It might also be your pivot is off hence the object moving when isimmobile is turned off. This would place the collision envelope in the wrong place, you can check this by tryng to walk through it at a greater height offset. Though I suspect it is actually lower going by your screenshots at the top of the post.

Thanks Rolfy.

The pivot is as shows below:

and the first frame of the animation is the closed version.

here is the export properties I use:

Thanks again.

Hi TazMan,

;anim
animmax = 2
anim0 = 0,150 ; open

Put pivot at 0,0,0. Reset xform and collapse the stack before export.

@Harry I tried this and it opened OK but closing went from open to closed instantly and I could still walk through it. Thanks anyway.

@rolfy I did put the pivot at 0,0,0. Reset xform and collapsed the stack as much as I could before export, and it is still doing the same thing

Thanks for the input though.

Like Smallg says delte Always the old bin and dbo files.
And if you try with a other doorscript?

This one is door3.lua.

door_pressed = 0

function door3_init(e)
end
	 
function door3_main(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if PlayerDist < 100 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
  GetEntityPlayerVisibility(e)
  if g_Entity[e]['plrvisible'] == 1 then
   if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 0 then
    if g_Entity[e]['haskey'] == -1 then
     SetActivated(e,1)
    else
     if g_Entity[e]['haskey'] == 1 then 
      Prompt("The door is locked. Press E key to unlock door")
      if g_KeyPressE == 1 then 
       SetActivated(e,1)
      end
     else
      Prompt("The door is locked. Find a key to unlock door")
     end
    end
   else
    if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 1 then
     -- door is unlocked and closed
     Prompt("Press E to open door")
     if g_KeyPressE == 1 and g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 and door_pressed == 0 then  
	  SetAnimation(0)
	  PlayAnimation(e)
	  g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
      SetActivated(e,2)
	  ActivateIfUsed(e)
      PlaySound(e,0)
	  StartTimer(e)
	  door_pressed = 1
	 end
    else
     if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 2 then
	  -- door collision off after 1 second
	  if GetTimer(e)>1000 then
 	   CollisionOff(e)
	  end
	  -- door is open
 	  if g_KeyPressE == 1 and g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 and door_pressed == 0 then
 	   SetAnimation(1)
	   PlayAnimation(e)
 	   g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
       SetActivated(e,1)
       PlaySound(e,1)
       CollisionOn(e)
	   door_pressed = 1
	  end
	 end
    end
   end

@smallg thanks for that but I do this everytime I make a change as standard

@Harry cheers for the script, I gave it a go but still the same result.

This was doing my head in so I had a look at the fpe again

I played around with the collisionmode and firstly deleted it, Voila it worked perfectly, I then set collisionmode to 0 and this worked perfectly too.

I don't know why I didn't try this before after all it is a collision problem, maybe I was too close to it and needed to talk about it to solve the problem.

Anyway thanks everybody for your help, it is great to be able to talk things through on here.
