Hi!

Please help me with this problem, because its driving me crazy 

I´ve got this character and attached a head to it for separate facial animation.

This is part of the main character body script.

Code: [Select]


global Head_Attached;

actor.AddAttachment("actors\Barkeeper\Barkeeper.x","Head", "Bip01_Neck");
Head_Attached=actor.GetAttachment("Head");
Head_Attached.Scale = 100;

Head_Attached.DrawBackfaces = true;
Head_Attached.PlayAnimAsync("idle");
This all works well in some scenes, in others the head is out of place (see image).

What´s going on there?

Looks like a bug to me. What's different about the other scene? Scrolling? Viewport? Anything you can think of?

[FogGobbler]

It´s really strange. I start in room "A", and everything is fine. I wonder about, got to other scenes "B","C", still everything okay. Then I enter scene "D" and my character "loses his head". When I go back to the other scenes that had worked before, the character still has the problem.

No scrolling, no other settings.

Could it be that the head starts playing some animation at one point, and the animation actually moves the attachment?

[FogGobbler]

No, the head animation stays in its place and doesn´t move the head. Anyway, if that would be the case, it would happen in every scene, but strangely enough it only happens in a few.

Can´t find out what´s wrong 

I´ve used the Head_Attached.PosX,PosY and PosZ in the actor script file to move the attachment to the right place, but this information gets lost/overridden by something else in some scenes. This happens straight away in these scenes, so it can´t be a moving animation.

EDIT: I also tried altering the position of the head in the X file. This works in the scenes that are okay, in the "bad" scenes it doesn´t change anything...

Well, I'm out of ideas. I guess I'm gonna need some reproduction code to test it...

[FogGobbler]

Good morning, Mnemonic!

Could I send you some parts of the game to show you the problem, and would you be so kind to find out what´s wrong?

Bye,
Oli

Yes, please. A download link is preferred, if possible, for a project that can be actually run and which reproduces the issue.

Ok, it's a bug indeed. But luckily it's easy to workaround. Just add:

  Head_Attached.DropToFloor = false;

where you're setting the head attachment position. Attachments really should NOT drop to floor It will be fixed in the next WME release. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank You for testing and finding the workaround
