bow attachment

[Lordthom]

hi guys, another question i downloaded an bow attachment and made an ability with the bow as attachment, and than the ability on an item. That works fine, if i pick up the item i hold an bow in my hand but when i attacks he attacks like a sword so uses the bow as a sword. How can i set it that he use it like a bow, with missile and things.

ps. i used this bow

Either when he picks up the bow he turns into an archer or don't allow him to pick it up at all.

Convert the model of his with Mdlx. Open the mdl file (it automatically opens with Notepad) and scroll down to the animations. When you see the bow animation, start counting from the first animation from 0 to the animation count in the list. If, for example, the animation is the seventh in the row, then consider "6", as the number, because you start counting from 0. Now go to the Trigger Editor and use this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit uses an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Bow
• Actions
  • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex (GetTriggerUnit(), X)

You see that "X"? This is where you need to place the number you picked from the notepad. Good luck.

well i converted it but where can i see its the animation and what row and things, i dont understand it...

I told you, open the converted mdl file with Notepad and scroll down, till you find its animations.

 

[Lordthom]

but how can i see "his animations" what are "his animations" and how can this help. The animation of the bow is now like a sword animation and do i have to set something in the object editor so he shoots?

I thought you had a model with a bow animation. If the model has no bow animation, not the sword, the character's model, then what I'm suggesting here won't work.

 

[Lordthom]

mmm... but other people who downloaded it got an bow animation with an missile and i not... i try downloading another one

 

[Lordthom]

with another bow it is still using a "sword" animation so im out of options, anyone else?

The bearer of the bow has to have the animation, not the bow :S

with another bow it is still using a "sword" animation so im out of options, anyone else?

you should use a model with animations for bow... example: archers, or the villager model with many animations made by The_Witcher (just search for it in the models section)...

 

[Lordthom]

Ok thx i shall try

 

[Lordthom]

Cant Find that villager model of the_witcher...

 

[Adiktuz]

Cant Find that villager model of the_witcher...

really? I'm sure I found it there, just browse thru it, its also easier if you just look thru the units
(I hope you know how to do it)... if you cannot find it you can download his equipment system and export the model from the map...

PS: do not double post! use the edit button...

 

[Lordthom]

well, he doesn't have it...

 

[Lordthom]

can someone link me a unarmed model with bow animation?

It is made of .KC!

gosh without modding the unit animation in the model...

I guess you could go frame by frame through the unit animation and look for the spot that looks like he is using a bow the most. Then trigger him to freeze animation at that point, and return to walk or stand when hes done. It wont look very quality though. I think thats the best you could do without modding.

I would take this opportunity to learn to do some model editing, the tools and the sources are there, you just need to use them.

to help with searching for the_witcher's model, the model name isnt the_witcher, the name of the person who made it is, just search all models made by the_witcher and viola...
