Stretching bones

Hey,

Is it possible to make stretching bones during animation in MED?

Thanks,

i think the only time you can stretch the bones is when you add them. your only other option i think is to convert you model to vertex and deform or stretch what you want stretched and make it an animation frame. unless someone knows another way.

Well, maybe JCL can add this as a feature?

Hi Cowabanga,

I'm new to GameStudio, so the following might be something you've already explored, but perhaps ent_bonescale( ENTITY*,STRING* name,VECTOR* scale) and ent_bonereset() might help? Although I haven't tried either, ent_bonescale may allow you to dynamically scale an entity's bone (pointed to by STRING*) in one or more dimensions, along with child bones and attached vertices.

Hey Calculus,

I already know about these functions, but.... A big thank you for reminding me and giving me the idea. I'll try it.

EDIT: Yeah, it works! But, it's pain to use the codes to move the face bones, so I'll use vertex animation for the face only, thanks everybody.
