How to make a look animation for a player model?

From what i've heard, it's "headside" and it's just a animation of looking left to right.

I've tried ripping the default model into shaper, but i haven't had too much success.

To see an animation just to findClientByName("Pandan").player.playThread(1, "Animation");

Okay so that helped me confirm that it's left to right animation.

But i dont know how many frames it is :/

Use Shaper. The default headside is 7 frames but it can be anything as far as I know.

I'm guessing that anything that isn't 7 will have weird looking head slides that seem to "lag" behind, for the most part the Blockhead's headslide animation is perfect. I would recommend just doing 7 if you can.

I figured it out. I should really make a tutorial for people

30 frames for the best turning smoothness


What you do is you make a animation with your head moving from as far left, to as far right.
Lets pretend this line below is the animation, 30 frames long.

Code: [Select]

===+---------+---------+---------+
===L                  M                   R
The L is the head all the way turned left, the start of the headside animation.
M is when it's looking STRAIGHT forward
R is when it's looking to the right at it's final frame.

Keep in mind you can have other animations before all this, represented with the = sign.
