Animation in Source

tofu · February 12, 2009 at 7:54 PM

Hey guys,

First time trying to get an animation into source, and it's not working

Anyone see a problem with the below .qc I have for my model? I can see the "playing" animation under Sequences in the editor, but the animation doesn't play (even in preview window). It's a simple 1 bone, 360 degree rotating animation so I can't see how something in max may be screwed... but if anyone has any ideas - I'm all ears.

Code

$modelname "plgh/plgh_model.mdl"


$body "Body" "plgh_model.smd"


$cdmaterials "plgh"




$staticprop


$scale 1


$surfaceprop "Metal"




$sequence playing "plgh_model_anim" loop fps 30




$collisionmodel "plgh_model.smd"


	{


		$concave


	}

The anim sequence export is named plgh_model_anim.SMD

you have the switch $staticprop in there. That defines the model as a static non-animated model IIRC.

Try removing it and I think it should work.

Awesome, that worked a treat. Thanks mate!

no problemo

Yeah just for reference, when you use the $staticprop flag it removes ALL bones from the model/anim and creates a single "root" bone at the world origin (0,0,0) and parents everything to that.

Well in the context of a breakable prop, $autocenter is probably what you want. Might work for non-breakables too.
