How to use vehicle animation recorder

[ando]

Vehicle animation recording:

- open your map with editor
- add a vehicle
- Press F8, F9
- sit in a vehicle
- Alt + t, h, s (start recording)
- drive around
- Alt + t,h ,e (save recording)
Engine is saving *.va and *.manm file too.


And if you wnt to wach it later then F8, Alt+t, h, p (open *.va file and choose vehicle from list)



I redesign my vehicle animation script (from Hai Lang) soon too. Its too complicated to use it now.

Hi Ando,
I have some questions about this:
- how to apply AI to the vehicle: you know it since created it in HaiLang
- is it possible to use this also for helicopter? no..
- I tried some tests with T34, trying to shoot with cannon and gun, but obviously it just record movements, and not shoots: how to? I guess applying players

[ando]

You cant use it with helicopter because you cant drive with it as driver too.

I was writing new (easier to use) script for vehicle animations but now there is some synchronization bugs. If I can't fix it soon then I just upload all my Hai Lang scripts.

// Jeep Driver

#define GROUP 2
#define GENERICVOICE "macv"
#define MEMBERID 0
#define RANK 7
#define NAME_NR 2730
#define VEHICLELINK 0
#define VEHICLENAME "Driving_Jeep"

//#define DISABLEPLAYER

#define NOWEAPONS

#include <inc\shigor\ussoldier.cxx>

This will aply a Macv Soldier to a vehicle..

[mro]

wonderful!

If you go look in USSoldier.cxx you will find something like this:
} else if (CLASS==8){
//apc driver
usGetPlayerIniEqp(RANK,CLS_SOLDIER,SUB_RND,&ini_eqp);
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyIni,"cup_pilot01");
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyEqp,"g\\characters\\cup_pilot01\\apc\\eqp.ini");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headIni,"hvm_009");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headEqp,"G\\characters\\_heads\\_eqpini\\uhg019.ini");
If you add this under nead it and set the driver of the jeeps class to 9 you will get a USMC Soldier
} else if (CLASS==9){
//USMC
usGetPlayerIniEqp(RANK,CLS_SOLDIER,SUB_RND,&ini_eqp);
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyIni,"cup_usmc04");
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyEqp,"g\\characters\\cup_usmc04\\US5_SOL_A\\eqp.ini");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headIni,"hwm_002");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headEqp,"G\\characters\\_heads\\_eqpini\\uhg008.ini");
This will add Hawkins ;D Just for fun...
} else if (CLASS==5){
//Hawkins
usGetPlayerIniEqp(RANK,CLS_SOLDIER,SUB_RND,&ini_eqp);
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyIni,"CUP_CMMNDO01");
sprintf(ini_eqp.bodyEqp,"g\\characters\\CUP_CMMNDO01\\basic\\eqp.ini");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headIni,"hwm_020");
sprintf(ini_eqp.headEqp,"G\\characters\\_heads\\_eqpini\\uhg011.ini");
And can i get a confirmation af if that is Hawkins right head?
And i think CPT. Rosenfields is "hwm_21"

reply you tomorrow

Has anybody get to T-34 working? I get it works fine with modified Andos coop script, but the only big problem is that it can't be destroyed.

If I use model called t34_mp.bes, i can se only shadow of the tank, the tank is invisible. All the other things works fine and it is destroyable.

If I use model called t34.bes, i can see the tank and all other things works fine, it moves, AI shoot with the cannon and machine gun, but the tank is indestructible.

So anyone any ideas?

dont know if it works but i found it in a map with a working enemy t34 ai tank and the scripts was in the package
