Technical forum / actor.GoTo(this) - problems ;(

« on: August 18, 2006, 12:47:48 AM »

I have two 3d characters in my scene.
NPC one comes from upper left corner to middle right.
I can stop him by click at any place(for instance by "talk") and he and my actor look each other:

actor.TurnTo(this)
this.TrunTo(actor)

______________
They both see each other with no problem.
But when I want use item I have:
actor.GoTo(this)

_______________
actor comes to middle left corner stops there and gives an item(NPC stands at end of his way(middle right) or stop during way to middle left.
Where I've wrong ?

oh. NCP meanb NPC ;-)
Also, now I have modify script to:
// load our main actor
   global ncp = Game.LoadActor3D("actors\NCP\CNP1.act3d");
   Game.MainObject = ncp;
   ncp.SkipTo(200, 430);
   ncp.GoTo(600, 400);
   whore.Direction = DI_DOWN;

Technical forum / How to insert new character ?

« on: August 17, 2006, 09:19:32 PM »

I want to insert another NPC in scene.
I saw demo with OldGay. It made by entity.
But I want make him walk in some cases and play different animations.
Also, I want to make him 3D.
So, what is my way ?
Add actor by:
actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\NCP\NCP1.act3D");
Game.MainObject = actor;
____________________________________
but it's MainObject..
or I should repeat OldGay way by

global OldGuy = Scene.LoadEntity("entities\oldguy\oldguy.entity");
OldGuy.SkipTo(505, 330);
_____________________________
What is difference ? I mean what is best for NCP ? To be an actor or to be entity ?

You have really great docs but I didn't found how to make NCP


P.S.  Now I made "it from" teapot

actor.Active = true;
if(!Game.IsItemTaken("NCP1))
{
  var Teapot = Scene.LoadActor3D("actors\NCP\NCP1.act3d");
  Teapot.SkipTo(1110, 504);
  Teapot.Direction = DI_DOWN;
}

he is standing and plays "idle" but he is not "clickable" and can't even talk with him

I tried to found something on forum but failed.
Is it too easy ? And nobody have questions about that ? ;(((

It's old tirnity.script as I mentioned before
So, for LeftClik we have
on "LeftClick"
{
  actor.PlayAnimChannelAsync(1, "walk");
}

But how to force character to play animation walk when moving by click ?

« on: August 13, 2006, 11:58:47 AM »

I have my.x character with walk and idle animations.
This one was made by modifying original. trimity.x
For now my character plays idel when just standing and walk when I click somewhere. So, everything is fine, but...
When I click on myself charancer become walk on same place. And there is no way to stop him.
What I did wrong ?

Sorry, for perturbing you guys...
it's my fault.
She told me windows is restaring when reload with blue screen.
She was afraid and turn off power ;(
So, I think I lost some files of the scene or WME engine ;(
Now I'll recreate new scene. Last one was "testing one" and wasn't too complex and hard.

Technical forum / Re: 3D character animation ;-(

« on: August 10, 2006, 01:15:12 AM »

yeah, maybe. I am an artist, not programmer. So, it's hard to me :-)
why 240, not 300 ? PAL ? ;-)

No matter.

Now I may say:
there is proved way to create 3D characters in maya and move it into WME.
1. Make character with animation(however, you may make animations in separate files(not all in one file), this way you can skip steps 2-5).
2. Make one clip per one animations.
3. Now you need to make different files with one animation per file. For example you may export clips in files, then load empty characer(w/o any animations) and upload the clip. Now you have character with one animation in clip.
4. Save files.
5. Make it again for all your animations. You may have many .mb files. Our goal is 1 .mb per 1 animation.
6. Now download it into Deep Exploration and export it to .x with "time scale". Animation options at down of screen. You need to "quess" number of "second" and "frames" to get EVERY key in ~240 frames. Sound like madness but it's easy. For instance: my "Idle" animation is 6 seconds(180 frames) in Maya. So, I need write 60 at end and 8.000 at FPS fields. I'll get begin at 0 frame and end at ~48.000, so it's ok. My animation is about 6 seconds.
(We need end at 43.200(180x240), because .x timing is 240 .x frames per 1 Maya frame, but I don't like silly precision in art).
7. Choose "Main File" - you will add animations from other .x files. In notepad open other .x files, select AnimationSet at very down of .x file and copy it then paste at the end of your Main .x File. Don't forget to give name to new Animation Sets

This is my way. And it's work with: WME 1.6.1, Maya 6, Deep Exploration 3.5

Ask anytime

And sorry for poor english
