avatar out of water

[lyllus]

I could, with plasma plugins to swim the avatar, but now I have a problem: how do you make avatar out of the water? obviously on a surface like a pier, as in ahnonay

[Deledrius]

Your question is a bit hard to understand. Do you mean to have the avatar resume walking when leaving a swimming area, or are you asking for something else like climbing out of the water (for which no animation currently exists in the game)?


Edit: Or I'm stupid and forgot about the ladders in the Ahnonay Maintenance areas... Someone know how to set those regions up?

[GPNMilano]

Ah this is a simple enough thing to do. There's simply a region around the ladder object. That region triggers a region sensor type of logic modifier. Only an enter value. The logic mod triggers a responder, and the responder activates a oneshotmod for the animation. However you'll need to make sure to set up the region and the oneshot mod correctly in order for the animation to land you safely on the dock. Also you'll need to page in the animations as they are part of the Ahnonay age and not global animations.

Just throw this into your python script for your age. (IE "YourAgeName".py) so that your py file looks something like:

Code: Select all


from Plasma import *
from PlasmaTypes import *

animPages = ['FemaleSwimDockExit', 'MaleSwimDockExit']

class "YourAgeName".py(ptResponder):

    def __init__(self):
        global animPages
        ptResponder.__init__(self)
        self.id = "YourAgeSequencePrefix and a 1 after it"
        self.version = 1
        PtPageInNode(animPages)


    def OnFirstUpdate(self):
        pass


    def OnServerInitComplete(self):

    def OnNotify(self, state, id, events):

    def __del__(self):

        for page in animPages:
            PtPageOutNode(page)

You can use the above just make sure to switch out the "YourAgeName" and the "YourAgeSequencePrefix" with the appropriate values and save. The self.id doesn't HAVE to be the sequence prefix it can be any string of numbers but to keep things sane I choose to use my sequence prefix plus 1. So for instance if my sequence was 3532 i'd use 35321. And if I have more than one python script in an age the second's id would be 35322 and so on.
