Hey guys... so i still have not figured out how to have these completely static after the animation, as such i am going to be releasing these as is to the masses. I got a request from someone on my youtube video so that is really the motivation for me to release these.

If you figure out how to have these static after animation, may you please post the fpi script for it. Not only would it help others but it would help me to learn. Plus if you do figure it out i will make you a free entity as a thanks.

Required photo uploaded to my dropbox.

If you forget what these are from, they are from my i can't believe its FPSC compo entry.

Download [UPDATED]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16349584/Custom%20Portal%202%20plates.rar (Copy and paste into browser bar)

Sounds not included because someone decided it would be a good idea to delete them...

License included, but if you don't want to go through it, go ahead and use it, re-texture it, for commercial or non commercial use.

In your main ai script at the very last line add this:

some condition, some condition: what ever ending action you have,state=(number that is higher then all else in the script),suspend

Ex last line of script:
state=100,frameatend=15:state=101,suspend

This will leave the object visible on the screen but it will have not collision and should not react to player anymore.

Option2: Create and anim line in your fpe file for the last frame of your animation. Have the last line in your script call the setframe action for that animation and increment the state=to a number higher then the rest. This will keep colision on and the object should stay at the last frame of the animation.

Hope this helps.

They will never be static, if they started as dynamic

Oh dear, i forgot to include the FPI script for these... Hold on and let me upload them...

Edit: Put a link for the fpi scripts, i will most likely load this onto a fpsc site with everything together, but i am studying for a law 12 class.

Edit2: Pirate myke, i tried doing what you said for option 2 cause that was what i needed. However what i have decided as a placeholder is to have a entity spawn and de spawn for when it is up and when it is down in the rest position.

I've noticed something: the entities have 2 textures, not like 2 maps, but 2 D, D2, N and I textures. One's for the floor/platform part and the other's for the pneumatic arm part, making it nearly impossible to get shaders to work for them as I can't assign them to the texturebank and still have them on the entity (as the textures aren't even in the entities' FPE file). Is there any way around this?

Also, would it be too much to ask for the placeholder entities you mentioned above, please?

Ah, so that is why i could never have shaders on those...

Do you mean the segment and the lights model?

Also, do you want me to just remake the plate thing so its one single entity?

I mean that you have textures for "floor" as well as "floorplate". With two sets of textures like that, the shaders won't work. Textures should be in the texturebank or most shaders to work and the FPE file for the entity should point there. You can't tell the FPE file to use multiple textures like that (to my knowledge).

Quote: " Also, do you want me to just remake the plate thing so its one single entity? "


Is it not? If the mesh is somehow in parts that may be why it has two sets of textures Is so I think that if you re-made it as one single entity with only one set of textures (allocated to the texturebank instead of the entitybank) then shaders should work just fine.

Though if you mean the fact that you have both a wall unit AND a floor unit, no keep them separate... there both awesome!

Also, is the entity hollow? That may be part of the collision issue ... maybe (I'm not much of a modeler )

The fix didn't rally solve the problems. There are still two distinct sets of textures assigned to the entity and if you point the FPE to either of them, the model doesn't have proper texture and without the ability to assign textures in the FPE, no shaders can be used
