hi ,

i made my model with milkshape

i give it the key/value targetname:spinring.

then in my script i called the command :

Code: Select all


$spinring rotatex 50

nothing happen???? Here someone told me that model could be turned via script .
So my question is how maybe there is another comand .

thanks

You have to use a "$" when accessing target names from a script.

use:

key: $targetname (instead of targetname)
value: spinring

You do? I never do (well sometimes) maybe that's why some of my scripts don't work.

Key: targetname
Value: spinring

Is fine.

If you use this:

Key: $targetname
Value: spinring

Then the targetname will stay with it when it is copied in the map. Normally, when you copy an entity, it gets a name like t1 t2 t3 etc... But, that symbol will keep the oringial's targetname.

You will have to give your model a classname of script_model or script_object to get it to spin.

I don't think you can spin a model, never tried.

Try classname "script_model". This is not in the tik file, only in the map. You may have a problem with your tik file, I don't know.

i tried even with script_model it dont work

tiki file is here

Code: Select all


TIKI
setup
{
	scale 0.520000			// Set default scale to 16/30.5 since world is in 16 units per foot and model is in cm's
	path models/milkshape/spinring
	skelmodel spinring.skb
      surface gate shader spinring_gate
}

animations
{
	idle     spinring.skc
}

/*QUAKED milkshape_spinring (0.5 0.0 0.5) (-74 -3 -75) (75 2 74)
*/

dont know why that tiki file would lead me in trouble ?

thx .....
