Issue with Animations showing up as black boxes

by Rich Hudson · in Torque X 2D · 09/25/2007 (9:39 pm) · 4 replies

I have 3 animations , a main character, a monster and a small animation of text.

Independently they all appear properly.

When the monster approaches the character and "swings" his weapon everything is still fine, however every 3 seconds a calulated attack is happening in the game logic behind the scene, if the monster misses (which I have for now hard coded to true) then an animation plays above the characters head, its a png (just has the word "Miss!" which fades in and then out) and transparency is set correctly for it. When this animation plays however the monster animation changes to a solid black square the size of the image.

Any ideas why this would happen? I know it is happening to the Monster b/c the "Miss" animation is attached to one of its components, but no clue as to why it appears when the "Miss" animation is cloned and registered.

Any ideas?

Weird... that doesn't seem right to me. If you take out just the cloning and registration of the miss animation everything works fine?

Yes. And it is strange. I have tried various things with no success.

Ok well I ran the application tonight and everything is working fine - so maybe something was wack last night.

Gotta love it.

Ok.. let us know if it crops up again. That's definitely something we want to avoid. :)
