Hi guys!
I just wanted to ask how Project Joe's gestures were done.

Example - Crazy Bill. When he says "Crazy" he plays a different animation to his talking one. This is fine if the line was in a different Actor.Talk() method but it's not. It appears in the same one.

"Hello and welcome to CRAAAAAAAAZZZZYYY BIIIILLLLLSSS."

The start would be a normal talking animation but then the "CRAAAAAAAAZZZZYYY BIIIILLLLLSSS" part would have the actor do a different animation. I tried using talksync but then when you go to skip it, due to the waits between changing animations the game pauses until the waits are finished.

Hope someone can shed some light on this

Cheers,
Myles Blasonato.

Project Joe was using .talk files, which are not supported by 3D actors. What you need to do is either use talk stances (see the Talk method docs) or simply use custom talking animations for specific talk lines.

Oh ok thanks!
Didn't know about the .talk files.

PS: I tried talk stance but it doesn't let me choose a time to change the talk stance.
