Non GlobalAnimations test age

[Grogyan]

I havn't got that far with learning all the nooks of AlcScript, hence i'm trying small steps

[Grogyan]

Back to this problem again, same exact problem.

I had created another topic, but found this one that I had started, and still having the problem

I have an empty that is where the animation starts from, a region, and in another blend file same setup but with a clickable

I've tried variations from both GoW and GoMa sites to no avail
Click to animate avatar or
avatar enters a region that triggers the oneshotmod


This is the code that Lontahv helped me with but it has a bug in it that I can't find.

Code: Select all

# The empty is where the animation will start from
# this is called the seek point
OneShotSeekPt:
   type: oneshot
    # Tell the game what animation will play
   oneshot:
      # In this case its a non global avatar animation
      # Inside the Init file you put in the full name 
      # of the animation but with a prefix
      # Eg 
      # Nav.PageInHold FemaleSwimDockExit
      # Nav.PageInHold MaleSwimDockExit
      #
      # These lines will hold that animation reference 
      # till it gets called by the following
        animation: SwimDockExit

# The name of the region to activate the oneshotmod animation
OneShotRgn:
   # Has some logic referenced to it
    logic:
        modifiers:
          - tag: OneShotRgn
            activators:
             - type: objectinvolume
               triggers:
                - enter
            conditions:
             - type: volumesensor
               satisfied: true
               direction: enter
            actions:
             - type: responder
               ref: OneShotSeekPt
        actions:
          - type: responder
            name: OneShotSeekPt
            responder:
               states:
                - cmds:
                   - type: oneshotmsg
                     params:
                        receivers:
                         - oneshotmod:OneShotSeekPt
    

what happens is if you walk backwards after the animation has finished, the avatar ends up doing the animation in an eternal loop.
Can anyone please help, preferrably not wih quickscripts, as I want to try really hard this time to know how to script this game

[Grogyan]

I'm an idiot, I forgot to have the clickable itself set as an actor with bounds toggled.

Quickscript works, but i'd like to do it with full script

And I still would like the animation to play by region trigger only

You can look into the logfile and see the full script that the quickscript creates. Then you can adapt that to your wishes.

[Grogyan]

I've applied the script that appears in the log file, but the animation doesn't not work, i've gone through the python file, the log file and my script to see if anything is different than the generated quickscript, and I can't find a problem

from what I can see the script is broken into 2 lots, one for the object the other for the seek point, i'm kinda poking in the dark here

             conditions:

            - type: objectinbox
                  satisfied: true
             actions:
                - type: oneshot
                ref: $AutoClick


OneShotSeekPt:
   logic:
      actions:
         - type: oneshot
             tag: AutoClick
             oneshot:
              animation: SwimDockExit
              seektime: 1.0
              remote: OneShotSeekPt

so as to ececuting the script for region triggering, I am clueless

[Grogyan]

Grr, I finally got the full script to work for a clickable, lots of indentation problems, this what I hate about AlcScript, that and not knowing what order to put things in.

I'm trying to get the quickscript.selfanimation.animation working, and thus far it isn't even loading the quickscript, let alone resolving it

Tried setting the region as oneshot and as a responder, nothing is working

Code: Select all

OneShotRgn:
    quickscript:
        selfanimation:
            region: OneShotRgn
            animation: SwimDockExit
            seektime: 1.0
            remote: OneShotSeekPt

[D'Lanor]

Hmm, that quickscript seems to be missing one line.

Code: Select all

            modtxt += "  conditions:\n"
            modtxt += "    - type: volumesensor\n"
            modtxt += "      direction: enter\n"

... should probably be...

Code: Select all

            modtxt += "  conditions:\n"
            modtxt += "    - type: volumesensor\n"
            modtxt += "      satisfied: true\n"
            modtxt += "      direction: enter\n"

Edit: and it does not use the seekpoint you are providing... Also this quickscript does not have the debugging enabled which writes its full code to the logfile. I have only added that to quickscripts I made or modified.

[Grogyan]

Ok, the "satisfied: true" makes sense

I then assume that the SelfAnimation uses the obdata centre as the seek point, that I can try out, but would have liked to use a seperate Empty as the seek point, and was hoping to copy out the builded script that does it so I may be able to understand what is going on.

I understand now that to use an Empty as a seek point is to use a responder on the region somewhere and script it up, I need to figure that part out

[D'Lanor]

It uses no seek point at all. No surprise it doesn't work.

[Grogyan]

lol.

How are you calling the script in Blender, cause I still can't get it to build up that script internally
