Ah. Yes, I'm afraid you will have to do something like that. Adding animation events to the beginning of your first model's animations and using the first AnimationComponent's onAnimationEvent hook is probably easier than using onBeginAction, since then you will easily catch when the monster falls through a pit/flinches/gets knocked back/etc. For example:
Code: Select all
do
local listOfAnimations = { -- the same animation table as your first AnimationComponent
turnRightNormal = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_turn_right.fbx",
fall = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_front_left.fbx",
attack = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_attack.fbx",
getHitFrontLeft = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_front_left.fbx",
turnLeftNormal = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_turn_left.fbx",
getHitFrontRight = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_front_right.fbx",
turnRight = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_turn_right.fbx",
getHitBack = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_back.fbx",
moveForward = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_walk.fbx",
turnLeft = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_turn_left.fbx",
idle = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_idle.fbx",
getHitLeft = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_left.fbx",
getHitRight = "assets/animations/monsters/fjeld_warg/fjeld_warg_get_hit_right.fbx"
}
for name,filename in pairs(listOfAnimations) do
defineAnimationEvent{
animation = filename,
event = "anim2play_"..name,
normalizedTime = 0,
}
end
end
Then in your first AnimationComponent:
Code: Select all
onAnimationEvent = function(self,event)
if event:find("anim2play_") then
otherAnimationComponent:play(event:sub(11))
end
end,
Now otherAnimationComponent will play its own animation of the same name every time the first AnimationComponent does. Obviously, you can get rid of the dumb string parsing part, this is just for illustrative purposes.

Yes, animation events on 1st frame is the best way, I agree - I used onBegin just as a simple example here in questions.
What I dont understand is this part:
Code: Select all
otherAnimationComponent:play(event:sub(11))
it's the same problem as I have with
Code: Select all
self.go.animation("weapons"):play("moveForward")
I mean - what is the propper syntax to call that component?[/color]

Sorry, that shorthand was confusing. If your other animation component is named "goat", it would be:
Code: Select all
onAnimationEvent = function(self,event)
if event:find("anim2play_") then
self.go.goat:play(event:sub(11))
end
end,

Cool, so the answer is: propper syntax is just: self.go.component_name:play(). Thanks for help m8.

@Leki: a simple way to attach a weapon like a sword to a monster's hand is to use the parentNode property. This way you don't need to animate the weapon at all.

Yes, sword is fine, axe and morning star as well, but I have armoured body parts, bow etc and they have more komplex skin and parent node cannot manage it - I need "full animation" for them. The point is that I have geared monster and onActivate script will turn on random weapons and gear parts around the main body (and activate brain for a selected weapon) - so with one "smart" object I have nice visual variability of one monster type.

Oh wow, I never realized ModelComponent supported that! I have a lot of things to redesign now...

Is it possible to check what tile (forest_trees/forest_wall/...) is in a certain tile?
for example, is it possible to check if there is a forest_ground tile with elevation equal to our monster's elevation in front of the monster?
or is there a way to circument this withought adding a shitton of blockers or other objects to use as walls.

It is possible to check the decorations present, and make an assumption... It is also possible check what the automap tile is. Provided you don't alter it in your mod, it's a reasonably reliable way to check for certain aspects using the Map component.
Ground can be distinguished from water, and a few other types.
The automap tile number can be 0 (ground), 1 (grassy_ground), 2 (water), 3 (wall), 4 (rocky_wall), 5 (trees) or 6 (chasm).
A combination check of the automap tile, and the decorations present could give a good guess as to the tile used. Elevation check is another feature of the Map component.

Hi guys. I am trying to get this script to work. What happens is when the counter gets to 9 nothing will happen. It comes up with a error with the rat_shank. The player can pull the level 9 times to get a rat_shank, but after that they get nothing. I go this script from LOG 1. Any help would be appreciated thxs
Oh a lever is connected to the function (feedTheParty) I can name the rat_shank to rat_shank_1 but when you pull the lever the second time it says duplicate item etc...
Code: Select all
fed_counter = 0
function feedTheParty()
if fed_counter > 9 then
hudPrint("Nothing happens.")
else
fed_counter = fed_counter + 1
spawn("rat_shank",5,26,18,2,0)
pickup_food_alcove.surface:addItem(rat_shank.item)
playSound("level_up")
end
end
