SHP Builder Question..Need Help.
I'm creating a SHP soldier for the first time.But Before I will finish this.
I have some questions to ask.
1. In creating an SHP does it automatically select the attack frames and other
movements?If no can you please teach me how?
2.How to make an Infantry that floats? Like the Yuri Prime.
That is far as I can ask till knowing some other problems. QUICK_EDIT
1- You have to manually sequence it. But if you use another infantry as the base, then there is already such a sequence.
2- In game, you have to use MovementZone=Amphibious ;or "AmphibiousDestroyer", and of course, have an art and sequence that shows the infantry floating. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
take a look in art.ini at for example the ConSequence. This tells the game how many frames and at which frame in the SHP a certain animation starts. A sequence can be used by different infantry, if they all have the animations at the same frame-positions in the SHP (ConSequence is used by Conscript, Shock Trooper and Sniper for example)
So if you create a new infantry whose animations and framepositions are based on an existing infantry, you can then reuse the same sequence for your infantry.
Though the art.ini comments section
Quote:
; *** Infantry Sequences ***
tells you everything you need to know to create a completely new sequence. So there is no need to restrict your new infantry to one of the existing sequences. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
@Elgin: as posted before, read the art.ini comments.
