[General] Animated Attachments

[ShadowFlare]

Is there a way to change the animation of an attachment while it is attached?

 

[Luorax]

No, it's impossible.

Well, I guess then I need separate models then for each animation

Thanks

Well, it may not be necessary. Depends on what kind of attachment it is. You can create a dummy unit based on the attachment model, and "attach it to the unit" - you can move the dummy unit periodically. It'll work if the attachment point isn't moving; for example you can use this way for head, chest, origin, overhead attachments.

For weapons, hand, foot attachment you need separated models.

It basically isn't worth that Luorax. Some units have their head/chest/whatever (not origin tho) unit-parts not statis too. For example stand1/2/3 animations ofen force given unit to move whole body.

I've been trying that a lot of times, and it's such a risky method. Better stick to differend models as attachments.
