Adding model with sequences

Error log

Only the first sequence works

Hello DEV-CS Mappers,

I tried to add a model in map map with cycler_sprite and I have 2 questions. I am totally new in mapping and I really enjoy it, but I couldn't find solution for my problem.

Firstly, the model has 5 sequences ( idle, dance1, dance2, dance3, dance4). Adding it with J.A.C.K Editor we have only option for settings Framerates per second. It runs only the first sequence (idle).. The rest of them which I would like to run consequently.. don't work. Only the first animation runs.. How can I make that it runs from 1-5 and repeat them consistently..

Secondly, the model is NOT solid.. Can you give me an advice how can I make the model solid. The only way I know is creating brush around it, but the model has various hitboxes.. so it won't be 100% accurate. But if that is the only way, I will do it..

Thanks in advance for your answers!

1. Hi, try to decompile model and change order of sequences.
In mapping we don't have possibility to use list of sequences, so use a necessary animation first in list.

 

[menkisa00]

Yes, I did it like that. Thank you! But if it is not possible to run all the animations, why there are 4 animations? Maybe there is AMXX Plugin needed for that or? If yes, is there any plugin here which can run the list of sequences consequently?

menkisa00, look through all maps models, they all have only one animation, isn't they? f.e. chicken on de_italy :)

Yes, amxx. Set origin, set model, set think.
find any stock that can play animation, a lot of ways how to do it

 

[menkisa00]

I was looking for a proper stock already. Couldn't find any that matches my case... Thanks anyway.

Sometning like this :D

under spoiler - how to play list of 5 animations in cycle (loop) without tasks, just use nextthink заloopить анимацию :D
Maybe code is wrong way, but I used it in one my plugin and it works

Спойлер: example

new Float:AnimTime[5] = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0}; // for example duration of each animation in list

public set_model(Float:forigin[3]){  // some function than will set model at your float origin
    new ent = rg_create_entity("info_target", false);
    if(is_nullent(ent))
        return -1;
    set_entvar(ent, var_origin, forigin);   // some float origin u need
    set_entvar(ent, var_model, "model.mdl"); //
    set_entvar(ent, var_modelindex, g_iModel); // index of model g_iModel = precache_model("models.mdl");
    set_entvar(ent, var_classname, "entity_model");
    set_entvar(ent, var_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE); // static model
    set_entvar(ent, var_solid, SOLID_BBOX); // solid model
    //set_entvar(ent, var_body, iBodyNumber); // if model has more than 1 body
   
    set_entvar(ent, var_sequence, 0); // 1th sequence to start all this shit
    set_entvar(ent, var_gaitsequence, 1);
    set_entvar(ent, var_frame, 1.0); // chose necessary value
    set_entvar(ent, var_framerate, 1.0); // chose necessary value
    set_entvar(ent, var_animtime, get_gametime());
   
    set_entvar(ent,var_nextthink, get_gametime() + AnimTime[0]); // set duration of 1th anim
   
    SetThink(ent,"@ThinkEntity");   // set think and change animation nexttime
}

@ThinkEntity(ent){
    if(!is_entity(ent))
        return
       
    set_entvar(ent, var_frame, 1.0);  // chose necessary value
    set_entvar(ent, var_framerate, 1.0);  // chose necessary value
    set_entvar(ent, var_animtime, get_gametime());
   
    new seq = get_entvar(ent, var_sequence);
   
    seq = (seq + 1) % 5; // just trust me :D
   
    set_entvar(ent, var_sequence, seq); // so we set next anim from our list, if list ended we set 1th animation again
       
    set_entvar(ent,var_nextthink, get_gametime() + AnimTime[seq]); // set duration of anim
}

menkisa00, it's possible to switch animation in mapping by hitting the model. For that you can creatre a trigger_multiple brush entity(or any other activator like button) with trigger_hurt object as a target. trigger_hurt must touch the model hitbox. And in your case you have to use cycler instead of cycler_sprite. Moreover, the cycler keeps the original hitboxes.
Note: the animations will be switched in a sequence => you can't choose the animation to play
A sample is attached.

DartSerafim,
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for the example!!! It works perfectly! Big Respect again for the job! +1
