+ Code Snippet

loop object objectnumber, startframe, endframe

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

Hey,

loop object objectnumber, startframe, endframe

Won't work on your darkmatter animations.

Try this:

+ Code Snippet

set object speed objnumber, objspeed

loop object objnumber,f(startframe,objnumber),f(endframe,objnumber)

rem to put this function after your main loop

function f(frame,obj)
   t_frames = total object frames(obj)
   fr = int(frame * (t_frames / 650))
endfunction fr

Have fun.

Also,

This moves your darkmatter object so there not in one place.

+ Code Snippet

rem put this in your main loop
do

UpdateComputerAI()

sync
loop

rem put this after your main loop

function UpdateComputerAI()

   Move Object objnumber,objspeed
   zpos# = object position z(objnumber)
   yrot# = wrapvalue(object angle y(objnumber))
   if yrot# = 0
      if zpos# > 1500
         YRotate Object objnumber, 180
      endif
   endif
   if yrot# = 180
      if zpos# < -155
         YRotate Object objnumber, 0
      endif
   endif
endfunction

Hope this heads you in the right direction.

Hey,

Currently I'm at work but I'll have a look at your code when I get home in about 3 hours. BTW are you working with DB or DBPRO?

oh yes it will, I am using the walking skeleton off darkmatter at the moment and the frames are from 0 to 25, the actual walking frames are 5 to 25.
the first frames i dont use but I guess they are for the transition from walking to standing still

Smart, I downloaded your file and it was blank.

bibz1st, I tried using the loop object code for my darkmatter 2 animations and it didn't work out well for me. I notice it would slighty move but that was all. I found an alternative way to be better.

Smart here's how I got my darkmatter 2 animation to walk around.

+ Code Snippet


sync on
sync rate 0
hide mouse : autocam off

agent01=1 : load object "Media2\Actors\Heros\Agent\Agent.x",agent01

set object speed agent01, 7000
loop object agent01,f(450,agent01),f(550,agent01)

do

UpdateComputerAI()

sync
loop

function f(frame,obj)
   t_frames = total object frames(obj)
   fr = int(frame * (t_frames / 650))
endfunction fr

function UpdateComputerAI()

   Move Object agent01,1.2
   zpos# = object position z(agent01)
   yrot# = wrapvalue(object angle y(agent01))
   if yrot# = 0
      if zpos# > 1500
         YRotate Object agent01, 180
      endif
   endif
   if yrot# = 180
      if zpos# < -155
         YRotate Object agent01, 0
      endif
   endif

endfunction
