ActiveAnim= and DamageFireOffset0=

McPwny · Cyborg Artillery **Joined**: 29 Jan 2018

hi. ive made a building and want to get it ingame but im having some problems;

first is that i cannot get the active anim [CAIRC_A] to play its damage frames. it just keeps playing the non damaged frames in a loop.

the second is that when i try and move the DamageFireOffset0=, the fire doesnt even appear. i want to know how to set the fire locations

and lastly the building only appears in the snow theater and i have no clue why

heres the artmd.ini code chunk

Only thing I can think of is make the damaged frames for B and C the same as the regular ones, like :

[CAIRC_BD]
Image=CAIRC_B
Normalized=yes
LoopStart=0
LoopEnd=16
LoopCount=-1
Rate=220
Layer=ground
NewTheater=yes
Shadow=no

EDIT: I assume you've added the CAIRC_AD entry to the anims list?

Failing that, split them to separate SHP files, see if that works.

you were right. the reason it wouldnt render had nothing to do with art and was a clerical error in the rules anims list.

now if i can just sort out the theater issue and the fire location issue i will have this asset released in short order

You should get into the habit of using AICHECK to scan your mod between changes, you'd be surprised how much you'll catch.
