1P Animations on PCOs

[|HBD|Bad_santa12345]

A cool thing i discovered.

YouTube Video

It allows 1p animatons with skinnedmesh properties to be used on basicaly any object. But only 1p because the animation triggering is 100% client sided so there can't be 3p reload animations unless someone discovers a way for sending client side commands from python.

I'm not very good at explaining how things work so i will just give you a link to a demo mod with this feature implemented to the stationary m249. I have commented the code as well as i could so it should be easy to reverse engineer. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52873126/ve...hands_demo.rar

Thanks so much BadSanta! We'll put this discovery to good use
Is it possible also to have a 'deploy' animation where the player enters the PCO?

Animation can be triggered when quiindex changes so yes it is. Anything that can be used as a variable for "hudBuilder.setNodeShowVariable/setnodeLogicshowVariable" can be used as an animation trigger. Cameras cannot be animated with this system so there won't be animations like open door and then enter vehicle.

AWESOME!

That's fine. So we can't have anything like animated camera shake or camera pans.

Having a look at it now, if you had the entire mesh in the skinnedmesh, and a placeholder in the bundlemesh, could you potentially also animate the weapon independent of the camera as well?

Also, how did you get the right-click ironsights to work? We've always done it by changing the chase-camera :S

I think that many of his works can be very helpful for PR.

Two cameras addTemplated to the GenericFireArm or to the PCO and a togglecameracomp for the GenericFireArm.

ObjectTemplate.activeSafe GenericFireArm uslmg_m249saw_stationary
...
...
...
rem ---BeginComp:ToggleCameraComp ---
rem *** Using this way to zoomin causes a bug of allowing reloading while zoomed. ***
ObjectTemplate.createComponent ToggleCameraComp
ObjectTemplate.zoom.startCameraId 1001
ObjectTemplate.zoom.changeCameraId 1002
rem ---EndComp ---

And cameras coded like this.

ObjectTemplate.create Camera us_bipod_Camera_UnZoomed
...
...
...
ObjectTemplate.CameraId 1001

ObjectTemplate.create Camera us_bipod_Camera_Zoomed
...
...
...
ObjectTemplate.CameraId 1002

There is no tozoom animation the camera swap will be instantanious when you press the zoom in button.

This system uses readbytefrommemory function. Problem is that i have not been able to find a static memory offset to the PrimaryAmmoString so i will have to find it manyally using tsearch each time i restart the game.

now THIS is indeed good news!
