I have imported a model and tried to apply several custom behaviours to test the features but nothing seems to work, am I doing something wrong?

Hello Wizard if id, I have imported an FBX with animation from blender, the animation works fine, texture and collision etc but no behaviours will work on it?

I have the same problem although i got my behiolder to have a hissy dance when apply roaming mammal

Would of thought it would pick up the anims unless we are doimg something wrong regards anims and ai. Unless its not implemented yet which i believe is the case. They have a few fighters kicking with ai but the ithers well.... The cc wander works for cc characters i will try that on my spider when i get the chamce

HOWEVER THIS WOULD BE A BRILLIANT QUESTION TO ASK ON THE LIVE FEED. HINT TO EVERYONE

This was not big attitude but more to be noticed by anyone who will be on the live feed.

I think im right though its not actually sorted for imported models and ai

Hi this is what I found with regards to the animation frames, for characters, animation key frames for animals is in the second picture. The system is completely different to that classic. So this is likely wrong or my best guess.





Additionally each script has a BYC file.It isn't clear as to what the BYC entails or what is needed. I can only assume this is the in game visual behavioral editor file that is created( Guessing here). It would seem that the engine pretty much takes care of everything, as you don't need to specify the animation frames in either the FPE ( only idle animation) or script. Just have to specify the behavior.



I am thinking here that the BYC file essentially tells engine what needs to be played if a condition in a script has been met. I tried to re import one of the default characters assign walk away script.

And I found you will need to manually edit the FPE file.



This what I found not sure if this will be helpful in any way. Hopefully it should point you in the right direction I hope. I am guessing a lot here and might be wrong.The new system hasn't been explained so I have no idea, what the BYC file is and how it is created, and it is my best guess here.


This is all the character animation behaviors. Technically I am sure if you follow the behaviors and keyed frames exactly, edit the FPE as required after importing you should be able to copy and paste without issue. Completely guessing here.

That is some solid investigation! Thank you very much for all of your hard work here. I will look in to byc files a little more, I have heard of them but never worked with them before you your best guess is as good as mine.

I have located the FPE file directory but need to get ready for work now, so I will attempt to make changes to the script tonight and let you know how I get along.

Thank you again for this, very much appreciated.

A> The .BYC file that sits alongside the .LUA file is the byte code for the LUA interpreter that runs any behavior logic created with the Behavior Editor."


There you have it folks question answered.

they should work but you have to follow the max way of doing things:
- animations should be separate to each other and not all in 1 long animation like classic was.
- your lua script should call the animations by name (these can be seen/set in the max model importer) and not by frame as classic does
- the AI logic is different so it needs to use the new commands to move around (character logic will have to be written or updated to work with max)

Thanks small g.
So can i just load the same model over and over and set the frames to where needed
As my beholder is all in one animation and would be hard to seperate them
