Hey,
can somebody answer this please?

Can i animate the face of a character wich doesnt have any bones on the face? i mean, think of it like an emoticon, it`s face is given only by a texture, can i animate the skin of the model?


How can i get basic gravity using the phisics engine? just to keep the character on the ground.

And, i really need instructions to set a Sky cube, please!

thnks in advance!

Hey,

You don't need to use bones for animations, you can use vertex-based animations as well, however I don't know much about modelling. I've never heard about animated skins being possible, but you can add a few skins and the switch skin using the "entity.skin" value.

To just keep a character on the ground, you don't need physics - just trace down to get the distance to the ground, and the change the z-value of the entity. I don't have any experience with the physics engine though, if you really want to use physics.

For skycubes you should check ent_createlayer in the manual as far as I know. Can't help you any more on that one I'm afraid.

Thx for your answer.
Finally I managed to create a sky cube as I wanted!

about the animation i`ll keep searching, if i use vertex anim on that face it will get horrible!

and, can you showme a code for doing that trace thing? i tried to use one from a camera code from the AUM but didn`t work, i didn`t get any error messages thought...

For the trace code you need something like this (not tested):

THXS, I`ll testit!

But i was testing with a similar code and the model doesn`t "fall" to the ground, it suddenly appears on the ground after being on a slope or something, is there a way to slow the movement on that axis?

i heard about a progressive aceleration, is it c-trace or phisics engine?

Then try something like this:



I don't know about the "progressive acceleration"

Ok, thx, You`ll be on the credits of my game. : )
