animation affecting game code

| Hi there, I used biped animation in max and following a tutorial I found on the net, I exported it as a SMD format, and exported it out as a b3d format in milkshape. The problem is my code no longer works. Here's a snip of my code: Global gravity# ; loads the environment and my animated character scene = LoadAnimMesh("env.b3d") player = LoadAnimMesh("player.b3d") ScaleEntity player, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 PositionEntity player, 0, -77, 0 EntityType player, type_player EntityRadius player, 2, 7.5 ; ground is a plane in my scene ground = FindChild(scene, "ground") EntityType ground, type_ground ; setups collision Collisions type_player, type_ground, 2, 3 While Not KeyHit(1) gravity# = gravity# - .08 If EntityCollided(player, type_ground) Then gravity# = 0 EndIf TranslateEntity player, 0, gravity#, 0 UpdateWorld RenderWorld Flip Wend End I try applying simple gravity to my player but the problem is when the game loads, the character just fell through the ground. I also tried using the FindChild command to refer to my player (works for bones animation though if I use the FindChild command, but it doesn't seem to work for biped) but when the game loads, it returns with a memory access violation. Anyone knows why? |

| I assume somewhere near the beginning of your program you define what values type_ground and type_player are? I haven't messed much with 3D animation as of yet, but on a couple of projects I found it easiest to create a pivot, then parent the animated entity to the pivot, then do all my movement, collisions, etc... on the pivot. |

| In addition to what TomToad said, I do not see the; ExtractAnimSeq(player_model,x,x) or the Animate player_model,x I have to use both of those in my code or my anim's do not work. I export my models from MAX as B3D using the MAX>B3D Pipeline. Hope that helps. |

| you need to assign a value above zero to entity types try adding global type_player=1 global type_ground=2 each entity group needs it own entitytype eg different value btw collisions is only relative to the moving entity Collisions type_player, type_ground, 2, 3 will only check if entity player hit entity ground and not vice verser add a reversed set if checking 2 entitys for collision eg Collisions type_player2, type_player1, 2, 3 eg Collisions type_player1, type_player2, 2, 3 not forgetting to do globals at start of code :) this also lets you work out who hit who o/ |

| Hi, thanks for the reply. The problem is when I use a 3ds file (using bones in max to animate) there is collision happening. When I change the file format to b3d (using biped) it never have collision. |
