wrong way round

[cassius]

I got crawler big model from workshop and in my program point it at main character

but it has its back to main character. Rotating it in code didn;t work. Can this be fixed in editor? its mdl format only.

Under Physics tab of entity set Character Angle to 180.

Thanks.

Setting the character angle in the editor does not work when the character loaded in by code.

 

In fact it changed nothing in the editor as far as I could see.

I had this problem before, if i remember correctly, this should fix it:

 

self.entity:SetCharacterControllerAngle(180);

 

(or c++) model->SetCharacterControllerAngle(180);

[cassius]

Nope. No luck.

I could fix this in 5 seconds in uu3d but its mdl format only.

 

It the barbarian character from darkness awakes.

Sorry, i forgot to tell you that you also need to add model->GetCharacterControllerAngle() where you set the angle with SetInput. This is how i'm doing it since i have a lot of models that are +180 as well.

 

Example:

 

model->SetInput(model_rotation.y + model->GetCharacterControllerAngle(), move_speed, 0, 0, false, 1, 0);

Is model the actual character name or the name of its pivot physics controller?

In my example, model is an Entity.

 

Here's a brief example.

 

// Declared in App.h //
Entity* model = NULL;
Vec3 model_rotation;

// Loaded at start //
model = Model::Load("Models/model_name.mdl");
model->SetCharacterControllerAngle(180);
model_rotation = Vec3(0, 0, 0);


// In your loop //
float rot_speed = 0;

if (window->KeyDown(Key::Left))
{
 rot_speed = -1.5;
}
else if (window->KeyDown(Key::Right))
{
 rot_speed = 1.5;
}

if (window->KeyHit(Key::Escape))
{
 model->Release();
 return false;
}

model_rotation.y += rot_speed * Time::GetSpeed();

model->SetInput(model_rotation.y + model->GetCharacterControllerAngle(), 0, 0, 0, false, 1, 0);

 

 

If you're still having issues, send me the model and i'll test it.

Thanks a lot much apretiated

Well that was hard work, just to get a character to face the right way.

Should be a rotate option in model editor.

 

I will not be buying any mdl only format characters in the meantime.
