I got my custom character to run walk and hit you, but I cant get him to play his death animation. What are the death animation frames. cant find them in the npc AI file. Ive got it set to match in the FPE, but that doesnt do anything for some reason.

Im using the Fanatasy Character one if that helps

Hi
Just checked the fantasy character in fragmotion, but there is no dead animation. I think its because it is used as 3 person view character.

Hmm the barbarian uses ai_fantasycharacter and plays a death animation. So I just dont know. The barbs death animation starts at around frame 733 in fragmotion.

It is a different biped, with animation at different frames. I opened it up in fragmotion also. Did not see a death animation in it.
I am guessing that ragdoll is taking over at the first frame here maybe.
csi_unarmeddeath = 872,878

Maybe, I dont know. Ive never had such a hard time getting an animation to work in a piece of software. This needs to be made easier. We need a flippen character editor with animation controls soon.

or maybe i am looking at the wrong character!!

Harry

are we talking character creator?
they use ragdoll so you can simply set their hp to 0 to let that activate a death
or you can use these set death sequences
csi_unarmeddeath = 4800,4958
csi_unarmedimpactfore = 4971,5021
csi_unarmedimpactback = 5031,5090
csi_unarmedimpactleft = 5171,5229
csi_unarmedimpactright = 5101,5160

I thought they were talking about the fantasy characters. (wizards)

No Im not talking about the character creator. Thats things not worth messing with at this point. Im talking about custom animated characters imported into GG. If they ever add more slots to the the character creator, like shoulder slot arms etc then it might be worth messing with. Instead of what they have on the creator, they just need to have two base models. Male and female naked with tag spots for welding armor etc onto them. Kind of like the Realm Crafter Gubin Editor.

Sorry back to the subject at hand. I am trying to get my custom character that I created to work with the default barbarian animations. I got all animations to work except for the death animation. The NPC dies but doesnt play the death animation. I also can not find the death animation frames in the ai_fantasycharacter lua. Il try that smallg, thanks.

Oh theres another good questions How do you get ragdoll to work on custom models? I use blender if that helps any.

Ok cool got death to work, but how do you slow it down? The animation is playing super fast. Also is there a list somewhere that tells what each animation is? like which one is walking foward etc.

Bah, now attack wont work WTH?:

Great work JackalHead ..

Use the command SetAnimationSpeed(1.0) to set the animation to default anim speed, and so 0.5 would be half speed and 2.0 would be double speed. You can trigger the death sequence by adding a new LUA function called:

function ai_fantasytaurus_exit(e)
PlayCharacterSound(e,"onDeath")
ai_soldier_state[e] = "dead"
ModulateSpeed(e,1.0)
CharacterControlLimbo(e)
SetAnimationSpeed(e,1.0)
SetAnimationFrames(732,760)
PlayAnimation(e)
CollisionOff(e)
end

Where 'ai_fantasytaurus' is the name of your own script file (minus the .lua extension of course). The animation frames themselves have to be discovered using whatever modeler you use, or if you are using our default assets, then I suggest the attached script might be of help. Associate the script with the character of choice and then run test level, then use MINUS, PLUS, BACKSPACE and RETURN to control the animation manually.

you forgot to include the script

The attached script can be assigned to a character, and in test game you can use MINUS, PLUS, BACKSPACE and RETURN to control the animation frames manually...

Thank you.
