Author Topic: Turret Animations with Milkshape 3D (Read 798 times)

Uxie · January 19, 2011, 01:13:53 PM

I can't seem to figure out how to get my animations properly. I look off of Stratofortress's turrets. But once it's in-game, it moves up and down really fast. I never set it to cycle. I have the animations of root and look. neither are set to cycle. Can someone help me with how to make animations properly? I've used the tutorials Azerath made. When I make a keyframe, then rotate the joint then make another keyframe, it doesn't play till I made another 1-2 keyframes. But it plays it backwards. So I have to animate in a weird way to make it look right. Can someone give me a detailed way to animate these? I have all the right joints.

For your Milkshape problems, try reinstalling or getting a newer version.

You mean like 1.8.5 that I have reinstalled 2-3 times?

Try 1.8.4 again, because 1.8.5 is on beta still I think.

I use 1.8.4 and it works fine.

Doesn't work. Animates the same way. 1.8.5 is just things added. Not to Animation. I need a better definition on HOW to do animations on turrets. My animation is NOT broken.

Cycle should be on I think.

Yes, of course.

It seemed to me that you had two separate problems. If that is not what you have, then you should probably rephrase the OP.

Strato doesn't have Cycle checked for his. And they work.

Edit: Nvm, I got it.
