Now we need feet in the UI so all these little critters can be kicked in the face, crotch, 5 tiles forward, etc.

What we really need now a "Shrink monster" spell. That ogre gives you a hard time? Shrink him and then well talk differently.

Nice idea! That may be doable too!

Hmm...do I smell a Duke Nukem 3D remake coming on?

If you are attaching new animations to monsters you will also need to define a host of new animation events which tell the game what events occur at specific frames of the animation. These won't carry over from the previous animations automatically.

For instance...

Code: Select all

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_attack.fbx",
	event = "attack",
	frame = 23,
}

Would need to be reproduced in animation_events.lua of the mod (made up the path name for this example)...

Code: Select all

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/mini_tunnel_ogre_attack.fbx",
	event = "attack",
	frame = 23,
}

So if I stuff that into the code, it should work now? I'll try when I get home.

@HaunterV: A complete guess (you will need to be put the real variables / paths in), but I'm almost certain you will need to add animation events to your new animations (even though they are just rescaled, they are complete new animations) through Lua before the game will know when to 'hit' you during an attack.

ok so i'm going to start by looking over the ogre events and working from there.

any help is welcome even if its just advice.

i am dissappoint...

still no damage being handed out. unless I misunderstood Johns advice.

[Neikun]

It probably is infact that they literally cannot reach.
In my work with alcoves, I discovered that something cannot be in the middle of the square and still be interactive with the player.
Try putting your tiny ogre in a monster group of four and see if it still occurs.

[Xanathar]

No, there is no collision detection in animation in the end - and for me it's working so no problem.

A checklist of a couple of things for you to understand why it isn't working:

• Double check the file names of animation files
• Check that an import "mod_assets/scripts/animation_events.lua" is in init.lua (it isn't by default) or simply defineAnimationEvent somewhere else.
