Best way to animation models?
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2018 2:13 pm
1)Quake style
__state [framenumber, functiontothink];
is very messy if you have many animation,you need to spend a lot of time to do this
2)Hexen 2 style
__state [++ firstframe .. lastframe];
idk how its works,but it seems better then quake style
3)by nexttink and think
looks better,but when you use think function,its can kill another think(player animation for example)
4)maybe best(or not?) way,i found on this forum
maybe there is another option?(not the animation group,because you cant attach sound on frame,its works in iqm)

Code: Select all
void()Draw=
{
if(self.weaponframe == 15)
{
W_SetCurrentAmmo();
self.state = NONE;
return;
}
self.weaponframe += 1;
self.think = Draw;
self.nextthink = time + 0.1;
}4)maybe best(or not?) way,i found on this forum
Code: Select all
void() player_reload1 = [$reload1, player_reload2] {self.weaponframe = 10;}; //Replace 10 with your start frame.
void() player_reload2 = [$reload2, player_reload3] {self.weaponframe = (self.weaponframe + 1);}; //This advances the frame count by 1.
void() player_reload3 =
{
if(self.weaponframe == 17) //If the animation has reached its end....
{
self.weaponframe = 0; //Set the frame back to the idle frame.
return; //Exit this function.
}
else //If the animation still has some frames left to play...
{
player_reload2(); //Continue the animation..
return; //Exit this function.
}
};
