Soldier pack/ Humvee pack problem

by Jack Hopkins · in General Discussion · 06/28/2007 (12:42 pm) · 9 replies

I have recently bought Tridinaut's Soldier pack and the Bravetree Recon pack

I followed the Instructions thouroughly and I then put both packs together into a test level.

When my Soldier entered the Humvee his head stuck out of the top, it seems that the code making him sit has encountered a problem.

So I ask you, seasoned veterans of Torque to please ease my suffering and give me a king helping hand.

Is your character sitting above the seat? You will probably have to adjust the mountpoint for the model and the humvee.

I've seen this happen when the name for the "sit" animation is different from what is expected as well. I don't remember exactly what is expected, but scan the code/script/instructions, and then confirm (in Show Tool Pro is a great place) that the animation is named correctly (and exists of course).

True. It may be mounting them correctly, but not in a sitting position.

My little soldier seems like he is in his normal idle position even when hes driving a car! (Now thats multi-tasking!)

I just checked, Showtool says that the siting animation name is called "sitting" (how original!)
The code in the humvee.cs says sitting aswell...

Can you inspect the model within the game by going to free camera mode, then moving in as close as possible to see if his bottom is what's sitting on the seat? The other issue may be that while he's sitting, the wrong node of the soldier is mounted to the seat node within the shape.

While you're there, make sure he's actually in the sitting pose as well--it's possible that it's not actually being set properly.

It seems that my Soldier remains in the standing position while in a humvee

That soldier model doesn't come with a sitting animation. We ran into this issue as well and what I ended up doing was cloaking the player model when it's mounted.
