Animating A Child As Well As Turning It

[Shard]

Hey all,

 

So I have a model, whose "Bip 01" head I find as a child. I need to be able to turn this head independently so that the player looks left or right, up or down while still animating the rest of the body to be doing what ever is appropriate.

 

However, I've found that if I call any animation while still calling Turn Entity on the head at the same time, the Turn function doesn't work.

 

How would I structure my code or what code should I use so that I can turn the head individually while still being able to animate it?

If thats not possible, then can I turn the head and animate the rest of the mesh?

From the tutorial:

 

// ..before main loop
TEntity head=FindChild(mesh,"Bip01 Head");
...
// inside game loop
if (KeyDown(KEY_LEFT)) { TurnEntity(head,Vec3(0,0.5,0));}
if (KeyDown(KEY_RIGHT)) { TurnEntity(head,Vec3(0,-0.5,0));}
if (KeyDown(KEY_UP)) { TurnEntity(head,Vec3(0.5,0,0));}
if (KeyDown(KEY_DOWN)) { TurnEntity(head,Vec3(-0.5,0,0));}

 

Try to call TurnEntity before or after the Animate call.

It should be called after in order to make it have an effect.
