Face expressions

[Rookie One.pl]

I haven't got MoHAA here in Spain so I can't try working it out right now (I will be on it as soon as I come back home in case I don't get an answer ), but maybe someone already found out how to make the actors look scared or angry?

I for one remember that the fellow rangers in M1L3A are scared.

couple of nice scripts in the anim directory

//-------
// standshock.scr
//-------

Start:
//println "Entering standshock.scr"
waitexec "anim/default_inithandler.scr"

// Initialise say manager
self waitthread anim/SayManager.scr::Init

// println "Geez, you scared the crap out of me!"
if (self.team == "german")
{
self thread anim/SayManager.scr::SayManager ("den_morphonly_panic_" + self.voicetype) 5
}
else
{
self thread anim/SayManager.scr::SayManager ("dfr_morphonly_panic_" + self.voicetype) 5
}

self.blendtime = 0.25

//need to take into account current position here... will do it later...

switch (self.weapongroup)
{
bazooka:
self setmotionanim (rifle_stand_alert_legs)
self setupperanim (bazooka_stand_alert)
self waittill upperanimdone
break

default:
self setmotionanim (self.weapongroup + "_stand_shock")
self waittill flaggedanimdone
break
}

end

runto_flee.scr

//=================================================
//=================================================
start:
//println "Running runto_flee.scr with move dir" self.movedir

waitexec anim/default_inithandler.scr
waitexec anim/smoking.scr::SmokeRemoveCigarette
self weaponcommand mainhand attachtohand mainhand

waitexec anim/stand.scr::transition

//self waitexec anim/standshock.scr
self.blendtime = 0.5
self setmotionanim scared_run_intro
self waittill flaggedanimdone
self.position = run

//while (1)
//{
// self.blendtime = 0.50
// self setmotionanim (self.weapongroup + "_run_forward")
// self waittill flaggedanimdone
//}

waitexec anim/runto_inopen.scr

end

Maybe he means their faceexpressions,
I think u do it like this, not sure, havent tested yet

Code: Select all

local.bot.emotion = emotion_neutral

and u can choose from these ones
emotion_neutral
emotion_worry
emotion_panic
emotion_fear
emotion_disgust
emotion_anger
emotion_determined
emotion_dead
emotion_curious

[Rookie One.pl]

Yeah, just the faces.

I'll be at home tomorrow, will look into it myself.

[jv_map]

There are 'mood' and 'emotion' commands but I don't think either does anything at all

// obsolete - this has been transfered to code

[bdbodger]

I did that new_generic_dog.tik mod and it works but the game spams the console every so often trying to do facial animations . So yes I can see how it is hard coded .

[Ric-hard]

I just tried the emotionthingie and it "worked",
I applied it to an actor with the DUMB-cmd,
no hearing and no sight applied to him,
I think the faceanim gets overwritten if the actor reacts to its environment.

[Ric-hard]

Heres a lil gif I made which shows the available emotionanims

[jv_map]

Haha very nice .. some of the anims overdo it a bit

[Rookie One.pl]

While others are not expressive enough. I wouldn't say that that anger looks like anger.

[Ric-hard]

I agree, some looks weird, especially the anger-anim,
if I didnt know its name.... I would guess it was a "needs_a_toilet_anim":P

[Green Beret]

lol, The determined one looks like an ice head.
