Need help for Animations

[K_Tetsu]

Ok here is the short version of my problem [because my english is pretty bad, sorry]:

I have animations for "shooting" and i have animation for "crouch" butt if I shoot while crouching he stands up , shooting animation, and crouch down again.

Is there a way to intgrate extra animations for simultan actions e.g. "shoot + run" or "shoot and crouch"?

I hope you understand my problem and can help me out.

You will need to create seperate animations (do NOT use the default 'shoot'/'crouch' slots.)

Create three new animations and name them accordingly. One ShootUp, one Crouch, one ShootCrouch.

Use coding that:

+Button is pressed down "Ctrl" [for crouching, say]
== PlayerGuy AltString "Mode" == "Crouch"

+NEGATE Button is pressed down "Ctrl" [not crouching then]
== PlayerGuy altstring "Mode" == "Up"

+When player presses shift [or whatever]
+PlayerGuy AltString "Mode" == "Up"
== PlayerGuy change animation to "ShootUp"
== Shoot bullet from Playerguy


+When player presses shift [to shoot]
+PlayerGuy AltString "Mode" == "Crouch"
== PlayerGuy change animation to "ShootCrouch"
== Shoot bullet from Playerguy

That ought to work, with some modification and trial/error, but the principle remains the same.

You need to work out when the player is standing or crouching and what to do when you press shoot.

Hope that helps!

Im not sure if i understand ^^" so I shall type in the alt string of the player "Mode = Up" and so on ? [i think i know how it could probably work bim just dont know if i type it right]

Yes, the player object would have an alterable string named "Mode" (or just default Alterable String A), and that would be changed to represent (in plain english) what the player is doing (crouching or standing).

From that, the game can then work out when the shoot command is given, what animation to show (shooting while standing, or shooting while crouching).

I hope that explains things a little better.
