HELP MAX SPRING ANIMATIONS

by Anthony Rosenbaum · in Artist Corner · 10/19/2002 (7:40 am) · 6 replies

Hello all this one is for the experts, Joe this one is for you. Could you explain, in detail, or with an example what exactly is needed for wheeled vehicles to have the spring# nodes work. I have tried exporting my jeep with spring animations and I just can't get it working in game. I was able to export with steering animation that works fine. But the suspention never gets acknoledged. That isn't to say they arn't there. Spring0-3 are all there in the Show tool, but just don't get loaded with the supsention movement. On a side note if you could also explain the brake lights and how to set those up, I assure you and the rest of the communtiy a Tutorial with explicit detail will be out for the communtiy to use. So Please help or could you look at my file? Anything please I am at the end of my rope.

either post or email me the file. I will take a look at it and try to see why the spring nodes are not working. I will also try to hook up the brakelights to see if I can get them working (I know what needs to be done, Ijust never tried it in-game).

I don't have a bunch of time to write a tutorial, but if I get it working, I can tell you what I did to get it working and you can spread the knowledge.

Perhaps this is something I can cover in my exporter presentation at the IGC?

Sent the fixes out. With the file I sent, you should be able to make a little tutorial that will allow eveyone to get their shapes working. If anyone else is having problems, feel free to send me the files. I will look at them when I have time.
