Need help with animated models
I wanted to make a glass style double door that opens (for accessing areas enclosed by glass). The animation sort of works fine (for 1 animation action). I'm using Blender for the models and have 2 separate bones that are supposed to operate at the same time.
I run into this error:
door_open : 0.00 0.00
ERROR: calcblend failed in door_open
ERROR: Aborted Processing on 'glass_door_96x96.mdl'
It seems that this coding doesn't work:
$sequence idle "glass_door_south_left"
$animation a_door_open_left "door_open_left" subtract idle 0
$animation a_door_open_right "door_open_right" subtract idle 0
$sequence door_open {
a_door_open_left a_door_open_right
}
The model is a double-door that is supposed to pivot/translate open from a closed position.
Fully recovered and kicking ham!
Now if only the snow and mud goes away (pigs truly hate wet mud!).
Can't you animate both door bones in one SMD, instead of combining two separate ones?
(In Blender: move the timeline to 1, set a keframe on both bones, move time forward, rotate bones, set keyframes again, export.)
I have never used $animation before (just standalone $sequence lines), but from quickly browsing the documentation I noticed that you probably need to use "delta" on the door_open sequence.
(Check the $sequence and $animation pages on the wiki.)
