How to extend animation for character?

by Tom Giant · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/28/2010 (3:20 am) · 3 replies

I'm reading a book published a few years ago about Torque, its title is "3D Game Programming Al in One".
The book mentions the Torque-Supported Animation Sequences about "Animating Characters", for instance, run, walk, back, look, jump, fall, etc.
I wonder how to extend the supported animation sequences in Torque 3D. For example, I want to add a special animation for AIPlayer, could I do that only by modifying some scripts(in cs files), or shall I have to modify the c++ codes, for instance, in the class "AIPlayer"?

Thanks for any help in advance.

You can do it by just making changes to script. You do not need to modify the base animation code in the player.cpp or the aiplayer.cpp. Just take a look into the script files for stuff relating to the animation threads and animation sequences. Those should help you get started on what you want to do.

That really depends on just what you mean by "extend the supported animation sequences".
