multistagebehmod

[D'Lanor]

Is it possible to make a multistagebehmod? And what would be the alcscript for that?

[Trylon]

Not yet, as far as I know.

[D'Lanor]

Rats, there goes my idea for a default telescope quickscript.

Edit: Hmm, wait. What about the recently implemented sitting modifiers. Don't they require a multistagebehmod* ?



* Note for non prp manglers: a multistagebehmod is an event driven avatar animation sequence.

No, the sitting modifier is a single purpose class, whose only requirement is that it be activated somehow, usually by a clickable.

Forgive my ignorance, but what it a multistagebehmod?

[D'Lanor]

A multistagebehmod is an event driven avatar animation sequence (see footnote in my previous post).

If for example the avatar uses a telescope it goes through multiple animation stages. First the grab scope animation runs, then the hold scope animation. The next stage is the release scope animation. But it should not run immediately afterwards. It has to wait until the user gives the appropriate input for quitting the telescope.

This could probably be done with 3 oneshotmods as well. The global telescope Python file expects a multistagebehmod though.

yeah, I ran into this a while back trying to put together the Cyan linking book popup sequence, which should allow standard linking books without the use of an additional python file. As a result, MultiStageBehMod has been partially implemented, but is not available through blender as it is not integrated with the export routine. It will be looked into.
