Is it Possible? Created 19 years ago2005-08-26 07:16:55 UTC by Unbreakable

Is it possible to make a model with only an idle animation move, or fly? What if there is no 'idle' animation? Just a 'spin' animation or something?

Once you decomile it and add animations to the model itself, then sure, you can make it do anything you want.

As for idle animations, read idle as default in this case. The 'idle' animation of a model doesn't necessarily have to be static.

Heres an example, Opposing Force, they had that Alien flyover scene, using models, but it only had a idle animation..

If you mean that alien then he is made out of solids! :
But could you explain how the alien looks like.

yep thats what I mean... the one in the pic you posted.. In Opposing force, it's a model. (.mdl)

It either was brush-based, a func_train or such, or it was an animated model, or OpFor has code that allows models to move a la func_trains.

I think it's the last one, since at some points you saw sprites flying through a level as well.

Yeah, OpFor has special code.

BAH!!! Curse them for not releasing a fgd file with all there new entities!!

This is made out of solid brushes tied into a func_tracktrain even in opposing force! I can post an example map if you want! And I think even in opposing force you can't tie a model to an entity! but you can tie sprites to a train_sprite. The vlatitude has a nice fgd file for opposing force! Unfortanetly it was desined for worldcraft 3x so it can't view entities!

Ah neat good to know, however I won't need an example, I know all about tracktrains and such.. lol, I just seen the model in there pack and assumed.. lol

Ok, cool, thanks though

What is the name of that model?

I have no idea, I deleted the pack some time ago.. Anyone else have Opposing Force? Check the pack file for us..

I'm checking it now!
