Needing Some Help

[GhostThruster]

What's wrong with the Attack animation on this model? It won't display in Wc3.

+3 rep for help.

I'm aware that I posted 2 threads. But, perhaps the people in this forum know more about modelling than in Requests.

Most likely you dont have proper start and ending keyframes for your animations. If you have an animation sequence (for example) start at 8500 and end at 9500 and you have one of your bones keyframe rotations at 8800 and 9200, then you will need 4 keyframes altogether

8500: (x, y, z, w)
8800: (x, y, z, w)
9200: (x, y, z, w)
9500: (x, y, z, w)

like so. This sort of thing usually is the cause for wonky animations.

And as a side note you could save a few kb filespace if you gave those helper animations to the bones and deleted the helpers altogether.

Hope it helps, and for next time, asking for help troubleshooting a model should go here in the modeling/animation section, the request section is more for full on resource creation requests.

I didn't make that model, Sephiex did. Now, you might say 'oh, but you need permission to edit', but the user is inactive and I am not editing it to distribute/upload except in my UTM which I will give proper credits to him. And I am only editing it minorly.

But, I don't understand what you mean about the keyframes. Can you please just edit it for me?

But if i do it for you, how will you learn silly?

Keyframes are the "markers" that tell a "bone" node what to do (how to rotate or translate or scale) and when to do it

500: ( x, y, z ) for translation and scaling

500: ( x, y, z, w ) for rotation

you can see these numbers by right clicking a bone in the node manager and clicking on "edit node" (not "edit") and then clicking one of the buttons that say either "translate" "rotate" or "scale"

Read up on some animating/modeling tutorials if your confused

You don't understand. I'm not lazy. I don't have the right programs to do this. You say nodes, yes I can edit them via the Model Editor, however it would take me ages to find the right one(s). Please can you just do it for me? Rep and credits shall be given ofc.
