on this page is a RocketAngel.shp.(http://www.ppmforums.com/download.php?id=51710)
instantly fell in love with it. been trying to get it in to TS for my amusement. cant for the life of me work out the sequence for
A) Using the rocket angel shp for as a hover tank unit, unchanged from original downloaded asset. when use as a hover unit it jumps about all over the show going backwards sidewards etc.. copy and paste of mLRS in the rules.so uses same locomotor as that.
b)converted smaller version as a infantry unit. same thing happens walks backwards sideways and is invisible when flying as a jump jet infantry.
here is my code for the "hovertank" vehicle version
[XOINTERCEPTOR]
Cameo=
Voxel=no
Remapable=yes
Facings=8
WalkFrames=9
StartWalkFrame=71 :included walkframes because of the nature of those frames, looks like hovering.tried without walkframe no effect.
i already know how sequences work (basic working knowledge), but converting ,c&c3 assets converted for RA" to TS isnt my strong point. is there some easy way to restrict a limited number of frames to the hover vehicle version. On these forums it mentions some where reverse sequence for veichles when converting infantry to vehicles or vice versa. is this the case. i assume this is to do with how the game reads the shp file,
and as for the infantry version, is a fully functional jumpjet unit achievable with this asset?. is my sequence completely fudged?.short of asking for you to give me the sequences. Any help is appreciated QUICK_EDIT
As what I looked, your sequence hardly makes any sense to me when comparing at the shp as there is walking frames put into firing and some point to shadow blank frames(???)
Now, to do vehicle shp, you have to re-order the shp frames from counterclockwise rotation (infantry) to clockwise rotation. Not exactly picnic ride that as you have to disassemble the shp and renumber them and keep empty shadow frames at end.
Besides, this is oversized asset for TS, you may wanna resize it drasticly down. QUICK_EDIT
Do not use directly the frame number shown by SHP Builder. The game counts from 0 while SHP Builder starts at 1, thus 1 frame index off.
So you have to subtract by 1 the start frame.
So Walk would be
Walk=70,x,x
Your second mistake is the length of the anim. You see 10 frames in the walk cycle, thus you have to write 10 and not 9
Walk=70,10,x
Your third mistake is the last number which is not saying 8 facings, but
the multiplier by the infantry facing to reach the facing specific animation start
See the art.ini comments from westwood.

; The first number is the starting frame number. The second
; number is the number of frames of the animation. If this

; The third number is the multiplier by the infantry facing

; last number is zero, then there is no facing specific
; version.
So you have 10 frames for the anim, thus the game needs to jump 10 frames to get to the next facing.
So walk would be
Walk=70,10,10
Follow these rules and fix all other sequence entries and it works. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
