EntityParent() is what you need :)

In the future, please try to put something useful in the topic title. "hey! help!" doesn't help someone searching the forums later who is having the same problem you are.

Satanist: An individual who gives time, thought, and credence to the Devil. This means mostly Christians So MR:Satanist is simply another name for MR:Christian But "hey! help!", is a stupid name for a thread, and you should be shot.

>Satanist: An individual who gives time, thought, and credence to the Devil. Satan and the Devil are not one and the same.. Satan (shaitan: meaning adversary) was God's right hand man. Devil - didn't exist in the Bible until after 400AD, and looking at common depictions was most likely based on the God Pan. But yes, to give creedence to either would require some belief in Christianity.

Well I hope I won't be accused of dealing with the devil but... With animated meshes it is best to parent items to the bones. The bone/Joint name becomes the entity name. Use the FindChild(mesh,bonename$) to find the bone you want ( its recursive by default). Once you have it you can parent anything to this bone. Here's an example - I have modified this code to load and parent a pistol model to Psionic's ninja. You may need to tweak scale and position of the pistol once parented to get it to look right but once done the pistol will move quite happily with the hand. You may need to modify the path names to the models depending on where you have them located. Make sure that the textures are in the same folder as the model. This also demonstrates how you can manipulate the head bone as well using the same technique. ; ID: 660 ; Author: Smiff ; Date: 2003-04-25 21:21:11 ; Title: .b3d Animation using ExtractAnimSeq ; Description: An Example of using The ExtractAnimSeq Command ;********************************************************************************** ; ; B3D Animation Example using ExtractAnimSeq ------------------- Ricky Smith April 2003 ; ; ; Use Keys Q through to X to transpose animation sequences. ; ; Use the Cursor Keys to Pitch and Yaw the Ninjas Head ; - this will blend with the currently running animation ; ; You will need the B3D Animated Ninja Model "Ninja.b3d" ; Kindly donated by Psionic available at ; ; <a href="http://www.psionic3d.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.psionic3d.co.uk</a> ; Many Thanks to Psionic. ; Animation Frames ; ; 1-14 Walk (normal) ; 15-30 Stealth Walk ; 32-44 Punch And swipe sword ; 45-59 Swipe And spin sword ; 60-68 Overhead twohanded downswipe ; 69-72 Up To block position (play backwards To Lower sword If you want) ; 73-83 Forward kick ; 84-93 Pick up from Floor (Or down To crouch at frame 87) ; 94-102 Jump ; 103-111 Jump without height (For programmer controlled jumps) ; 112-125 High jump To Sword Kill (Finish em off move??) ; 126-133 Side Kick ; 134-145 Spinning Sword attack (might wanna speed this up in game) ; 146-158 Backflip ; 159-165 Climb wall ; 166-173 Death 1 - Fall back onto ground ; 174-182 Death 2 - Fall forward onto ground ; 184-205 Idle 1 - Breathe heavily ; 206-250 Idle 2 ; 251-300 Idle 3 ;********************************************************************************** Graphics3D 800,600 SetBuffer BackBuffer() camera=CreateCamera() MoveEntity camera,0,3,0 CameraViewport camera,0,0,GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight() AmbientLight 255,255,255 ;********** Load Model and Prepare Animation Sequences Global ninja=LoadAnimMesh("c:\blitz3d\ninja\ninja.b3d"); This will load All Frames into Sequence 0 Global walk=ExtractAnimSeq (ninja,0,14); Extract frames 0 to 14 into Sequence 1 - the value 1 is assigned to the Global walk Global stealth=ExtractAnimSeq (ninja,15,30); Extract frames 15 to 30 into Sequence 2 - the value 2 is assigned to the Global stealth Global punch_swipe=ExtractAnimSeq (ninja,32,44); And so on extracting each set of frames into a seperate sequence Global swipe_spin=ExtractAnimSeq (ninja,45,59); and assigning the sequence number to a global variable.

code and /code need to be Not caps

Ricky Smith (Posted 2006) [#12]

@H&K - thanks - edited !

Yeshu777 (Posted 2006) [#13]

Maybe codebox would be better?

Ricky Smith (Posted 2006) [#14]

OK codeboxed - happy now ?

MR:Satanist (Posted 2006) [#15]

thx but can you give me a more accurate help whit the animations? and one more thing, when i aim downwards whit teh gun it gets in the ground and dissapers :O weid!? satanism is = freedom, got nothign to do whit the devil! set your mind free, do waht ever you want and dont caer about others! fu N00bs in Religion, but satanism aint a religion its a wat of mind thinking!

Yeshu777 (Posted 2006) [#16]

@Ricky - always happy, well almost. @MR: Almost sounds Thelemic.

AJirenius (Posted 2006) [#17]

MR:FINDINGIDENTITIESINNICKNAMES: Can you please give us a more accurate question of what you actually are trying to do with the animations. It's hard to help. If the gun gets in the ground it is actually not weird at all. It's just that it DOES go into the ground. Try making a smaller gun, Having the 'hand' and camera higher above ground and maybe change the camerazoom to compensate for the small... gun.
