Small Animation Problem

by Levi Putna · in Artist Corner · 03/28/2006 (8:12 pm) · 2 replies

I have created a small flag that flaps in the wind. The problem is when I export it from maya and insert it into the game world I get the flapping flag with a static flag in the same object.

Can somebody help me?

Do you mean when you place the flag.dts in the mission file. Now in the bottom right window you should have a flag under Shapes, this one is place there by datablock with the animation script. The one under Shapes is the ont you want put in the mission to see the animation. I think of the one under Shapes is the link to play the animation in the mission. There should be one under Static Shape where you place the dts and texture at. I hope this help.

No, I think the problem is in the way I have exported flag.dts from maya. When I place a flag from under Shapes in the game I get the flapping flag animation but I also get a still flag.

I don't know if this image is a very good example. But the bit circled in black shouldn't be there.
