Author Topic: Is it possible to 'blend' two animations together?  (Read 930 times)

just as it says in the title

is it possible to 'blend' two pre-existing animations together by like, overlapping the two or something?

actually, here, let me put it this way:

i want a player to do both the activate2 animation and the spear_throw animation at the same time, to make it look like there's an entirely new animation

is that possible? if so, how would i do that?

Take a look at the exporter, I think there's an "blend" option somewhere.

And maybe this helps: http://torque.realinfo.de/index.php?title=Scripting_Animation

Like this?

%obj.playThread(1, activate2);
%obj.playThread(2, spearthrow);

Yeah it's entirely possible.
Just as Amade put it.

That's interesting, How much animations can be played at once?

I don't remember. Guessing 4. Could be higher.

Since this is a thread about animations... Is it possible to call a weapon animation via script? Instead of only through the state system?

For what purpose? While its still being used as a weapon or as a separate object that has no weapon properties?

While being used as a weapon, I'm mostly curious but at one point I wondered, so I asked now.

I needed it for my HK417 weapon, for iron sights, but in the end used a different way.

So is it possible anyway?

No it isn't possible, but the state system should be able to do what you need.

Certainly,
Even with the torque engines severe limits.

You're not going to be able to prove to anyone you can script by saying what's already been said.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Damn. I hate limitations. :c
