[Solved] How to join animation from separate FBX files to a model

[Roland]

Hello there

 

I have been away soooo long from Leadwerk, but intends to start again.

This time I'm trying to use LUA for testing things (C++ will be used more later on).

 

Anyway. I have the same model exported to 3 separate fbx files with a unique animation in each of them (idle, walk and run).

 

Each of them looks and animates OK when dragged into the scene. I then dragged the idle fbx to the

scene and attached a script to load the animations and toggle between them. Whooo that came out weird!

 

Here is the script I have attached to the guy out on the left side in the attached video

function Script:Start()
self.idle = self.entity:LoadAnimation("Models/Characters/eric/eric_idle.mdl")
self.walk = self.entity:LoadAnimation("Models/Characters/eric/eric_walk.mdl")
self.run = self.entity:LoadAnimation("Models/Characters/eric/eric_run.mdl")
self.cur = self.idle
end
function Script:UpdateWorld()
local window = Window:GetCurrent()
if window:KeyHit(Key.Space) then
if self.cur == self.idle then
self.cur = self.walk
elseif self.cur == self.walk then
self.cur = self.run
elseif self.cur == self.run then
self.cur = self.idle
end
end
self.entity:SetAnimationFrame(Time:GetCurrent()/30.0,1,self.cur,true)
end

 

Is this code a wrong or is the problem somewhere else?

Any suggestions?

 

Here is a video showing the problem

Do the models share the same animation rig and have matching bone names? looks like an interpretation failure between them.

[Roland]

Yes Marley. The model is the same rigged model, just with different animations. It's really strange

 

IDLE

 

 

WALK

 

 

RUN

[Marleys Ghost]

Have you tried loading the animations into the model using the model editor?

[Roland]

Didn't know that could be done. Will try that.

[Roland]

YES! Marley you are my favorite Ghost That solved the problem.

 

Thanks a lot
