animation

by Gary Roberson · in Constructor · 02/02/2012 (5:03 pm) · 1 replies

Does constructor support animation (like opening anc closing doors, windows, rotating buildings)
Does constructor support animated textures (like streaming rivers, glowing rocks)

If not, is there any software that can supoport these features and export them to TGE 1.4?

TGE does not support animated interiors. You can look at the pathed interior resource as a starting point, though I do not know what version of TGE it was written against. You would need to make animated entities like doors as DTS's. There are also resources to move collision volumes so that doors open and have the correct collision area (ie. the door may look like it is open, but the "closed" collision area is still in effect).

EDIT:
You would also need to recalculate lightmaps if you implement a means to rotate interiors.

Constructor does not support animated textures, however, you should be able to use IFL's on DTS's.
