playable Gonk droid (I surrender)

The_Emperor · Post by **The_Emperor** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 10:52 am

I tried to make the gonk droid a unit that walks around, giving ammo to soldiers, and it worked. Partly

He doesnt have any animation at all, though the original one does move because of these lines in the odf:

IdleRotateSpeed = "0.5"
IdleWaitTime = "3.0"
IdleWobbleNode = "gonk1"
IdleWobbleFactor = "0.08"
IdleWobbleLeftFoot = "foot_l2"
IdleWobbleRightFoot = "foot_r1"

I cant find the animation though... Its not in the animations-> props folder. Does anyone know where to find it?

(I know that what I want is likely impossible, I just want to give it a shot.)

Is it possible to have playable R2-units and tauntauns too?

this is the coolest thing since swbf2 and before conversion pack... good job!

The_Emperor · Post by **The_Emperor** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:58 pm

@Linus: Playable R2 units is possible, yes. They don't need an animation either, since they just slide/roll. Tauntauns/ vehicles / starfighters: I don't think it's possible.

The screen may look cool, but for the rest... it just slides. It doesn't walk/wobble at all. So it's not that good. I want to try if I can do something about that but I can't find the animations.

I know this is brief so its going to sound like an un-thought out answer, but maybe if you just got rid of the idle rotate stuff (set it to zero), if would wobble just like before. It would work great as a locals team, and if it were used that way then as long as the wobble worked (it wouldn't have to be instep with the actual walking movement, as it would be hard to notice when not playing as the droid) - droids that actually walk around?

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 4:39 pm

He's right. The engine animates Gonk via the wobble settings, there are no animations. So the only way to do it would be like he said:

IdleRotateSpeed = "0.0" //Don't let our little guy turn on his own
IdleWaitTime = "0.0" //Always wobble no matter what
IdleWobbleNode = "gonk1"
IdleWobbleFactor = "0.08"
IdleWobbleLeftFoot = "foot_l2"
IdleWobbleRightFoot = "foot_r1"

Very nice, The_Emperor. You've once again, amazed me

Hehe, does this mean there could be a medical droid too?

PvtParts · Post by **PvtParts** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 5:28 pm

Actually the medical droid would be much easier than the gonk droid (though completly non-canonical since the FX-Series medical assistant droids were stationary). This is due to the fact that no walking animations would be needed. simply the base changes to convert it from a building to a unit. And the spinning could be kept since the body moves seperate from the frame.

Though I could probably do this pretty fast, it'd save me time if you just posted the final odf up here..if your willing. I really like your idea, and will probably be using this myself.

Post by **Qdin** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 3:01 am

how about making the Gonk Droids locals instead?

I wouldn't liek the idea of controlling it as much as having those running around randomly... xD

The_Emperor · Post by **The_Emperor** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 10:08 am

That was the idea, I wanted to make em for Rends

He needs locals, right? I'm not giving them any weapons, just ammo dispensers.

The medical droid does have more than just the spinning animations, 2 arms are moving.
I already suspected there were no animations, but I doubt the wobbling works on units... Imma try now.

Zaborack · Post by **Zaborack** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 10:24 am

can you please release a map with them as a class just to lket us see?
i would be pleased if you could have done so...
anyways this is a really fun concept

keep working

i think theyd actually make it good as locals in Rends' Tatooine map

this looks promising

I would, if I'd get the little Diet Dr. Pepper to wobble

Have you tried leaving it as a powerupstation but having him as a spawnable class?

Post by **Qdin** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 3:35 am

didn't he do it in his map?

on the first pic in the first post we SEE it as a class....

t551 · Post by **t551** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 7:45 am

No, Teancum is asking something different. The_Emperor made soldier class with the gonk droid model, and the wobble code isn't working for it. Teancum wants to know if The_Emperor tried setting the PowerUpStation .odf to be a sawnable class.

EDIT: Ooops, sorry, wrong person. Fixed now.

Post by **Teancum** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 9:16 am

Exactly.

The_Emperor · Post by **The_Emperor** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 10:33 am

Almost exactly, I'm not PvtParts

Let's try. I did try it already but it crashed, I forgot some basic unit stuff.

Edit: It crashes when I give it powerupstation as classlabel. I'm not sure you can spawn anything other than the soldierclass (or droid or simular things) as a unit.

Post by **Qdin** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 7:19 pm

shouldn't anyone make a list of spawnable classlabels?
