Reload animation
by Vincent D · in Torque Game Engine · 02/22/2006 (1:20 pm) · 16 replies
Hello,
I've got a reload function for my guns and when reloading I call
%obj.setActionThread("reload");
where %obj is the player. But as soon as I start moving the reload animation stops. how would I prevent this? I want the animation to continiue even while the player is running (, flying, kicking ass or whatever)

He means the player itself has a reload animation and when it is played, and he moves, the animation stops. I'd like to know this too.

Not that Eric, that's just altering an image's animation state. He means the player itself has a reload animation and when it is played, and he moves, the animation stops. I'd like to know this too.

Ah yeah, we have to do it the same way weapon holding positions are handled, blend animations, except instead of setArmThread, playThread.

You'll want to rip out the Player code additions that have todo with setArmThreadPlayOnce, and use that function to call your reload animation.

@Yadhi Aditya P: I have not seen Vincent D around the forums for many many months, you may have better luck starting a new thread and posting the details of your problem.

@Yadhi: If the function is crashing whenever you try to call it then I would check the sourcecode, also I would ask in the resource where you acquired the function since other people may have had the same problem before.
