Shp won't animate

Durrandi · Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 1:11 pm Post subject: Shp won't animate

I made a new shp based of a voxel of a vehicle. the shp has no weapons and it is only 8 frames (for every direction). I created it's own sequence for it but when it comes out of the factory (technically barracks) it is always facing north, no matter what direction it moves . the barracks are built on water and the "ship" is technically swimming. but it worked fine with other units.

Code:

[LSShipSequence]
Ready=0,1,1
Guard=0,1,1
Prone=0,1,6
Down=0,1,2
Crawl=0,1,6
Walk=0,1,6
Up=0,0,2
Idle1=0,1,0,W
Idle2=0,1,0,E
Die1=0,1,0
Die2=0,1,0
Die3=0,1,0
Die4=0,1,0
Die5=0,1,0
FireUp=0,1,6
FireProne=0,1,6
Paradrop=0,1,1
Cheer=0,1,0,SE
Panic=0,1,6
Deployed=0,1,0
DeployedFire=0,1,0
Undeploy=0,1,0
Fly=0,1,6
Hover=0,1,6
Tumble=0,1,0
FireFly=0,1,6
Swim=0,1,6

can someone tell me what I did wrong?
If you're wondering why it had to be an infantry and not a voxel, you'll see when the mod "Stargate SG-1" comes out.

Can you attach/send the shp to me? I can run it over the InfAnimator and probably fix it.

Edit: Oh, nvm. If it has only 8 frames (1 frame per facing), then it should be using code like

Code:

Swim=0,1,1

for pretty much everything.

Number 1 is the index of the starting frame of the anim (for the northeast facing).
Number 2 is frames to play per facing.
Number 3 is frames to skip from <Number 1> for each facing, before playing those <Number 2> frames.

With your code, it was playing frames 0-0 for NE facing, frames 7-7 for N facing, frames 14-14 for NW facing, and so on, skipping all the others. With my code, it should be playing frame 0 for NE, 1 for N, 2 for NW, and so on.

Hmm, can you send the shp to me or attach it? I'm sure I can fix the code. Or, failing that, give you a long-winded explanation of what flaw in the engine prevents this from working #Tongue

It's still not working. this time it goes ont o land like an infnarty isd supposed to

Code:

[BSHUTTLE] ; Engineer
Cameo=BSHUTTLEICON
AltCameo=
Sequence=LSSHIPSequence
Crawls=no
Remapable=yes
FireUp=1

[LSShipSequence]
Ready=0,1,1
Guard=0,1,1
Walk=0,1,1
Idle1=0,1,0,NW
Idle2=0,1,0,NW
Crawl=0,1,1
Prone=0,1,1
Die1=0,1,1
Die2=0,1,1
Die3=0,1,1
Die4=0,1,1
Die5=0,1,1
FireUp=0,1,1
FireProne=0,1,1
Down=0,1,1
Up=0,1,1
Paradrop=0,1,1
Cheer=0,1,0,NW
Tread=0,1,1 ; crossing from ground to water
Swim=0,1,1 ; moving in water
WetAttack=0,1,1 ; fire in water
WetIdle1=0,1,0,NW
WetIdle2=0,1,0,NW
WetDie1=0,1,1
WetDie2=0,1,1
Panic=0,1,1
