Jumping Animation for Griffons and Hippogriffs
« on: December 11, 2013, 09:26:54 pm »


               Hey all! I'm interested in trying to get the flying/jumping animation created for Griffons and Hippogriffs found here -
http://nwvault.ign.c....Detail&id=7728

As it appears right now, if the EffectDisappearAppear() function is used on one of these creatures, there seems to be no flying/jumping animation. All that happens is the creature ends up 'teleporting' to the location they should be jumping to. I'd really like to see that function work on them, but I'm thinking that requires some type of content modification to create flying animation for these models.

You are looking at a guy that has absolutely no experience creating custom content, so I'm wondering where to even start with this?

               Try it on a regular horse to begin with

If it works with a regular horse, we should be able to get this working because these models use the standard horse animation ones, no special ones designed for flying or anything like that

               <beginning...>

cappear and cdisappear anims are baked into the (super)model. I haven't looked at the griffons in particular, but if neither they nor their supermodel have jump up and flap anims in the c(dis)appear anims, the function plays what's there... nothing :-P Having said that, that's a viable target for someone who wants to dip their toes into modifying animations :-)

               Thanks for the replies. I tested the EffectDisappearAppear() with a regular mounted/horse model and there is no animation for horses either. I imagine that will make things much more difficult and time consuming?
