Way to blend between an ent_animate call and ent_bonerotate?

I know how to blend between two animations using the ent_animate function, and then ent_blend.

However, I am calling a walk animation using "ent_animate", but I want to rotate a "neck" bone making use of the ent_bonerotate function.

So far I haven't found a way to blend an animation with a specific bone rotate call so that my character can walk and rotate its neck bone at the same time.

Well, it should work if you define an angle, then call
ent_bonerotate for the "neck" bone when you want it to rotate:

VECTOR neck_angle;

.....

ent_bonerotate(my,"neck",neck_angle); //rotate it
neck_angle.x += 20*time_step; // rotate pan
neck_angle.y += 5*time_step; // rotate tilt

......

Play with the values in the lines where the vector gets modified; call the whole thing in a loop
Should work;

the_clowns code looks OK, just remember to use it AFTER any ent_animate,
and before any wait's.

or you can use ANM_ADD mode of ent_animate,

reset all bones every frame(ent_bonereset_all???), make your changes(ent_bonerotate) and add angles from your animation frame using ent_aniamte(...,...,...,ANM_ADD)


afaik this is covered in lite-c workshops.

and what about "ent_bonereset(my,"neck")"? i think you need to put this line before "ent_bonerotate(my,"neck",neck_angle)"

when you reset allbones it gets reset too.

ent_animate only takes a scene.

How can you define a scene with a bonereset?

you don't need to reset whole scene, you just need to rotate that bone, no?
