How to make a simple spin animation

[aicd99]

Hello everyone

I have a coin model in my game project how can I make it. To do a simple spin animation ?

the coin model is a actor file format

You can use Equity to add a new rotation motion to the coin actor then from within the level editor add a StaticEntityProxy and assign it the the ACT file and for the default animation use the rotation motion.

Or you can add the coin actor as a pawn and create a script that rotates it.

It is going to be an attribute and which Equity version ? can it be done in the one RF076 comes with ?

can you make a Model in a attribute entity to have a spinning animation

You can use an attribute entity

which Equity version ? can it be done in the one RF076 comes with ?

I use Equity version RF7 or RF8, I don't like the newest version.

where do I write the animation motion in the attribute enity
I don't find szDefaultAction in Attribute enity like how I can find it in StaticEntityProxy

Sorry I thought the attribute entity had a szDefaultAction property but I guess it doesn't. So the easiest way is probably to use a pawn entity and script. I found that the pawn entity will play the Idle animation by default so just name your rotation motion to Idle. Next create a coin pawn in the pawn.ini file then add that pawn's name to a pawn entity in the level editor. You can then create a simple script like this that will change the coins attribute.

Code: Select all

{
    Spawn[()
    {
        SetCollision();	
        AddCollisionOrder("Collision");
    }]

    Collision[()
    {
        ModifyAttribute("coins",10,"Player");
        Remove(true);
    }]		
}

Well I will post that in the feature request. So QOD will add it in the next RF version
