Crouch and Prone Side Back Animations

Disclaimer:
I am not a programmer. This might be great WIN - or it might be a great HACK. It's the first time I've ever coded anything that not only compiled but also appears to work in-game as it should.

IN YOUR FACE HUMANITY!
erm ... sorry ... momentarily crazed with power there ...

Crouch_Side, Crouch_Back, Prone_Back, Prone_Side animations

[Update] 20thOct09
Just changed a few things, added the rest of the missing prone animations, allowed sideways movement when prone, cleaned up the code, got the keybinds working better, and jumping now cancels crouch/prone.

Player.h, Around line 183 and then 208
Keep the order as in player.cpp or you'll get the animations mixed in-game
struct PlayerData: public ShapeBaseData {

CrouchRootAnim,
      CrouchForwardAnim,
      CrouchBackAnim,//yorks added
      CrouchSideAnim,//yorks added
      ProneRootAnim,
      ProneForwardAnim,
      ProneBackAnim,//yorks added
      ProneSideAnim,//yorks added
      SwimRootAnim,
      SwimForwardAnim,
      SwimBackwardAnim,
      SwimLeftAnim,
      SwimRightAnim,

// ...........

      // 
      NumMoveActionAnims = SideLeftAnim + 1,
      NumTableActionAnims = JetAnim + 1,

      NumExtraActionAnims = 512 - NumTableActionAnims,
      NumActionAnims = NumTableActionAnims + NumExtraActionAnims,
      ActionAnimBits = 13,//yorks changed from 9
      NullAnimation = (1 << ActionAnimBits) - 1
   };

In scripts/client/default.bind.cs, set both crouch and prone to a toggleable on/off function, so you don't have to keep the button pressed down. Remember to update your config.cs appropriately.
Around line 260

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Stance/pose
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function doCrouch(%val)  
{  
	if(%val)
	$mvTriggerCount3++;
	$mvTriggerCount4=false;
 }  
 
moveMap.bind(keyboard, c, doCrouch);  //yorks changed
//moveMap.bind(keyboard, x, doCrouch);

function doProne(%val)
{
	if(%val)
	$mvTriggerCount4++;
	$mvTriggerCount3=false;
}

moveMap.bind(keyboard, x, doProne);

And disable crouch/prone with a jump. Handy if you get confused with the keys.

function jump(%val)
{
   $mvTriggerCount2++;
   $mvTriggerCount3=false;   //yorks added
   $mvTriggerCount4=false;   //yorks added
}

It's important to note that the stock AI does NOT have a pose management function, and thus they are likely to default to prone. If a model does not have prone animation, prone will not be available.

[/update]

And that appears to work. Don't foget to update your relative player's dts cs file (under art/shapes/actors in stock T3D)

Phew ... that was stressful
