bigger units

Post by wishihadaname »

i hope this is the last problem im gonna have with this map. i am ,like i posted earlier in my wip release, going to make a phase three darktrooper for the imperial hero however i have a problem. i thought that the mapscale value was how big a unit was supposed to be but its getting no bigger even though i set it to ten when most units are 1.4 how do i make the unit taller?

Read the FAQ (scaling .msh). Read the FAQ (scaling animations). Read the FAQ (most everything else).

which animation type does the darktooper use? it doesn't have an animation specialy for it like the akalaey or super battle droid used in hte examples.

You'll have to make a custom animset anyway, so you could just make one with the human basepose and do the scaling with just that, but it'd be best to use Vader's basepose, probably, as that'll make the DT feel "hulkier."

(Edit: if you're looking for an easier way, you could just use all of Vader's anims, you don't have to make it as complicated as I just wrote.)

Move the Super BD anims into vaders anim folder. Jango's Wrist rocket fire anim might work better though.
