Playing Animations Backward

by Caleb · in Artist Corner · 07/07/2006 (5:58 pm) · 2 replies

I'll make this as short as possible. I want to be able to block a sword attack by checking collision between two swords. If they collide, stop the anims where they are and play them backwards.

How do I play anims backward?
Thanks.

You can play animations backwards, but you can't pause an animation, change the direction, and then unpause it to play it backwards. I'm not sure if this was changed in 1.4 but my experience with torque has led me to the conclusion that if you change the direction of an animation while it's paused, when you unpause it, it won't play backwards from the paused position, it'll just restart the animation going backwards.

Well I guess I won't do it like this then. However it would still be nice to know how to play an animation backwards. So if someone has this info, please share.
