[SOLVED] Problems with animations in my mod

[kogolbok]

Hello. Sorry if I put this in wrong place, I am not sure, where my question fits better.

I am trying to make simple cat using this mod. Ido it for my daughters birthday. So, I took PilzAdam's mod, started cutting here and there, and adding my animations. And come to few questions. Please, help me, I couldn't find answers myself, there's almost no documentation (that mortals could understand).

First - I don't understand what 'speed_normal' and 'speed_run' do. with default settings (15) it was eating my animation. By experimenting I figured, that it's not speed, but frame count in animation, because cat started walking normally only when I set 'speed_normal' to actual walk animation lenght (in frames).

Second - Something with my 'sitting' animation. In attached files you can find blend file and see this animation in 514-705 frames range. Compare it to what you can see in the game. No matter what I set in it's "speed" parameter, it's still choppy. Can exporter eat my animation? I am using this plugin for exporting.

Here os my file (sorry, it's to big to post it here directly)

Thank you for this lovely game, that my children enjoys so much.

Ok.

First - "speed_normal" it's an animation speed. But if your animation doesn't fit between characters decisions to walk and to walk again, it starts from the beginning, so, it gets cut. Looking at thbs code:

Code: Select all

elseif type == "walk" and self.animation.current ~= "walk"  then
	if
		self.animation.walk_start
		and self.animation.walk_end
		and self.animation.speed_normal
	then
		self.object:set_animation(
			{x=self.animation.walk_start,y=self.animation.walk_end},
			self.animation.speed_normal, 0
		)
		self.animation.current = "walk"
	end

To me it should look like "if this animation parameters set, then if animation is not started, start it, if it is being played, just continue". But for my "birthday project" it's fine.

Second - I was setting wrong start point of "sitting" animation, I had to set it from point, where cat is standing and sits down. First I wanted to implement sitting down and standing up animation as intermidiate substate of "sitting" animation, But for that I would have to deeply rewrite logic of animation applying and characters states. This is to much for "birthday project", Daughter is allreadt happy, her frends ti, what else do I need? :)
