Building Animation Prob

[Planck]

Sorry    ;D

I have to admit that was just a shot in the dark.

The problem must lie with the radar model in my opinion, check the rotation axis points and make sure they are lined up correctly.

Did it work properly when placed through the editor?


Planck

[Pilot]

That's ok    

I've just discovered the problem probably lies somewhere in the config.  I tried adjusting the armor levels, and none of the adjustments took place.  So for some reason the .wrp placed model isn't reading the config.  

Yes, the animations for the Radar do work with mission editor placed objects.

[Planck]

 I think I know what the problem might be.

You changed the Objects into its own PBO and you moved it to Addons instead of Res\Addons.

Did you change the object path for the .wrp file and also the texture paths.


What I mean is......did you load the objects into Oxygen and edit the texture paths to suit........and also load the island into WrpTool and edit the paths for your objects?

[Planck]

Is this bit of the config for the radar correct?

angle1="-50000 * 3.141592654";


Planck

[Pilot]

Yes, I corrected the texture paths for the object, and I also corrected the object path in my .wrp.

[Pilot]

Is this bit of the config for the radar correct?

angle1="-50000 * 3.141592654";

Yes, it's correct.  It's the code that makes the radar spin for a looooong time

[Planck]

OK......Let me see your objects config.cpp then plz.

Hahahahaha...

I did a config for your objects also.........guess what........I called it LarsenObj also.


Planck

[Pilot]

lol!

[Planck]

Both the animations are continuous rotations are they not?

I only ask because they both have different angle1 values.

angle1="-30000 * 3.141592654";.........for Radar

angle1="-20000 * 3.141592654";.......for Beacon

It probably doesn't make much difference though


Planck

[Pilot]

Yes, I want the Radar and the Beacon to spin at different speeds.

[Planck]

I can't see anything wrong with the config, but its getting late I will look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

I would try this though.

Load your island into WrpTool again and remove the radar object......then load it again from its new location in Addons.

Apart from that I can't think of anything at the moment.


Planck

[Pilot]

Ok, I will try it.

[Pilot]

I GOT IT!!!

The problem was with the 3d model.  I didn't have a map or class defined in the named properties section.  I properly defined them, and now the radar animation works!  
Thank you Planck for all of your help!  You have answered all of my questions, and thanks to you, everything works!  
I now consider this this topic solved!
