model questions Created 20 years ago2004-06-14 23:10:57 UTC by RacerX

hi, got a couple model questions for tfc...

1. how do i pick which sequense will be displayed in the game. if i use a cycler, shooting the model changes the sequence, but how do i manually choose in hammer which action the model will display?

2. what do i need to do to put a model in my map that can be destroyed?

note: tfc doesn't have any monster_generic, monster_furniture, monstermaker, cycler_weapon, or cycler wreckage entitys. thanks

make one then ad it to the pak file... go to monster_generic(if there is one, not used to tfc) and put your model in it i guess if thats what you meant tell me if it works

huh?

im not used to tfc and im pretty new w/ hammer in fact you might wanna ignore what i say if it confusses you (i confuse my self somtimes ) but this is my best advice

for #1 use the action animation part of the scripted_sequence entity to control what you want it to do

for #2. this is my best suggestion... make a model with milkshape... compile it into a .mdl put it in a .pak file and use a monster_generic to display it.

1. along with the other entitys i listed, there is also no scripted_sequence entity in tfc. :

2. i dont want to make a model, just use an existing model that i can kill, or give the appearance of killing.

thanks

theres no answer then?

Models don't have to be in the pak file, Caleb. The models folder in the mod folder will suffice.

As for your problem, I once read a tutorial on how the chickens in CS were made. I don't remember the url, but it was setup with a cycler I believe, and a func_breakable that would killtarget the chicken and also activate a shooter, for the gibs.

As for the animation, I have no idea how to do that in TFC. I believe TFC never seriously aimed for prop models to get implemented in the game. Well, you might try some TFC-specific websites, or search for some tutorials.

thanks again
