Title: Moving 'user' animation to 'direct' animation.
Post by: i0n0s on 12 May 2009, 02:49:35

I have some animation which source type 'user' and want to change them to 'direct'. When I simple replace user with direct, the result seems to be a combined animation of the two types:

Code: (config.cpp) [Select]

class AnimationSources {
class Contract0 {
source = "user";
animPeriod = 0.001;
initPhase = 0;
};
class Lift0: Contract0 {};
};

Code: (model.cfg) [Select]

class Animations {
class Contract0 {
type = "translationX";
animPeriod = 0.001;
source = "user";
selection = "Segment01";
axis ="center_start";
minValue = 0.0;
maxValue = 1000;
offset0 = 0;
offset1 = 1000;
};
class Lift0: Contract0 {
type = "translationy";
minValue = -100;
maxValue = 100;
offset0 = -100;
offset1 = 100;
};
};
It works fine with the 'user' source, but the animPeriod is noticeable and should get removed via 'direct'.
Anyone knows how to do this or what is missing?

 well you probably picked the hardes anim to find any info :).
 i only know of the Nodding donkey or oil pump that uses it and in the first releases including the mlods , it wasnt working propperly, BIS fixed it in a Hotfix but unfortunately didnt release any info on why and how the fix was implemented.

i think these where the guts of the anims but again i think i discovered it was the p3d that was forked so couldnt get a fix .

model.cfg

Code: [Select]

class Animations
    {
    class Animations
    {
      class dbo_ropa_anim1_0
      {
      type="direct";
        source="dbo_ropa_anim";
      selection="tyce";
        axis = "osa_tyce2";
      minValue=0.0;
      maxValue=0.15;
      axisDir[]={1,0,0};
      axisPos[]={0,0,0};
      axisOffset=0.0;
      angle=8;
      };
  and cpp

Code: [Select]

class AnimationSources
{
class dbo_ropa_anim
{
source = "time";
sourceAddress = loop;
};
};;
 its been so long i could not tell you if i got it to work though, it was frustrating as i was using it in an island like bis so 5 x the  messing about.

why not using animPeriod = 0 ?

 "why not using animPeriod = 0 ?"

Animperiod  = 0 will give a default of 1 second simulation step with user anims.

 if he simply want to speed it up then .01 is fastest noticeable for user anims i didnt see any difference between .01 and .001 maybe .01 is framerate i dont know.

  i thought he wanted to have it auto animate when placed in game ,thats what direct is for using a pre defined source such as time , from which you can"time / ,* -"  etc in the model.cfg if you wish to change  .

I don't know how I can use time to control my model :|
