Character run loop help

by Casey Wylde · in Torque Game Engine · 03/23/2008 (8:03 am) · 3 replies

I'm using character studio and know how to make a character run with footsteps but am not sure how to create a looping run for use in TGE... i.e. how many frames, how many footsteps, does the character need to be stationary (running in place) If anyone has a website or forum post that covers this it would be greatly appreciated.

You need to animate the player running in place. You can make the animation as long as you want, but need to make sure it is exported properly (into dts/dsq). I suggest searching the forums and resources.

You can also check out tdn.garagegames.com

Go to TGE or TGEA section and look under the "For Artists" section

Thanks guys. I followed a tuttorial and exported an animated character with the nodes and sequence dummies and all and edited the trackview keys but when i export the character is static in game. no animations play in the show tool either. i exported the sequences root, run, back, jump, standjump. Still nothing. Any ideas?
