Sliding door, not rotation.

[konyo]

Im currently trying to make a cargo door on a helicopter slide open. Ive got it all defined in model.cfg and config.cpp however when i go in game the door rotates inwards? Not sliding across as it should?

However looking into model.cfg this is why :

type = "rotation";

What is the type that makes it slide open?
And 2 axis points in middle of door or at beginging and end?

Regards,

Please do search the biki for such answers.

For the memory points it doesn't matter. I think you can do it either in units or in the percent of the axis. It might be easiest to put a memory point at the beginning and end.

Sorry thanks, never think to check Biki.
Got it working, its sliding but its sliding the wrong way? Need it to go other way?

Currently got translationZ

You can turn around your axis by rotating it 180 degrees, or you can play with the offset0 and 1 values. First, try offset1 = -1.

It runs the animation without an axis Where do i put offset? Model.cfg or config?

You can see the parameters for animations in the model config in the website I gave you. I think this is what the base translation animation looks like (I'm sure there are people that know more about it):

class Translation
{
        type = "translation";
        source = "";
    sourceaddress = "";
        selection = "";
        memory = true;
        axis = "";
        begin = "";
        end = "";
    minValue = 0;
    maxValue = 1;
        minPhase = 0;
        maxPhase = 1;
    offset0 = 0;
    offset1 = 1;
}; 

Not all of those things have to be filled in, and in some cases the biki isn't clear, but all of those are explained in the animation properties part.

Got it working now, just decided to make the model start with the door open, and it closes the right way etc.

Only trouble is when i open it, the option dont come up to close it again?
Think its because the animation is too short.

"this animate[""Ani_DriW"",0]"; - CLOSE

"this animate[""Ani_GunW"",0.6]"; - OPEN

As its 0.6, when i close it with 0, there is no option, but when i put it to 1 the option comes up to close it? :/

you need to make user actions for those those animation sources, and make sure that they are configured properly. Your user action script probably has the condition > 0.9 or something. You should probably change that to 0.5;

The user condition already has > 0.5:

class AnimationSources 
        { 
            class Ani_DriW 
            { 
                source = "user"; 
                animPeriod = 2; 
                initPhase = 0; 
            };
}; 
class UserActions
{
        class CloseWindow1 
        { 
                displayName = "Close Pilot Window"; 
                position = "pos pilot"; 
                radius = 10; 
                condition = "(this animationPhase ""Ani_DriW"" < 0.5)&& (alive this)"; 
                statement = "this animate[""Ani_DriW"",0.6]"; 
                onlyforplayer = 1; 
                priority = 4.7; 
                showWindow = 1; 
            };
            class OpenWindow1 
            { 
                displayName = "Open Pilot Window"; 
                position = "pos pilot"; 
                radius = 10; 
                condition = "(this animationPhase ""Ani_DriW"" < 0.5)&& (alive this)"; 
                statement = "this animate[""Ani_DriW"",0]"; 
                onlyforplayer = 1; 
                priority = 4.7; 
                showWindow = 1; 
            }; 

& the model cfg:

class Ani_DriW {
                type = "translationZ";
                source = "Ani_DriW";
                animPeriod = 3;
                selection = "Ani_DriW";
                axis = "Ax_DriW";
                angle0 = 0;
                angle1 = "rad 36";
            };

No it doesn't. Check again

& the model cfg:

         class Ani_DriW 
        {
        type = "translationZ";
        source = "Ani_DriW";
        animPeriod = 3;
        selection = "Ani_DriW";
        axis = "Ax_DriW";
        angle0 = 0;
        angle1 = "rad 36";
        }; 

Type=translation... angle =? Whatever works
