now that I have learned some xsi i am trying to make some custom models and learn the ropes a bit
now i made a reverse hilt lightsaber today and gave it to obi-wan
but the only thing that works about it is block and saber throw
all the anims are fine, but no damage is happening or any spark effects
i'm guessing there is something in the combo file that needs tweaking?

Someone else made a reverse lightsaber, I beleive Fragme or Ace, but I'm not sure. Anyways, I bet you could find that in the released asests forum and compare your odf to that one and your combo to his.

Did you give the lightsaber a firepoint or hardpoint for the deflect coding and damage to be dealt with? it's got nothing to do with Combo, its all about your lightsabre odf.

You will have to rotate the hp_fire (or whatever you called it) so it lines up with way you have the saber pointing.
If you find it too hard to tell using the default cross for nulls you can change it by selecting the null in XSI tree, press enter and a pop up will allow you to change how the null is displayed. The one arrow on is good as, if I remember correctly it points down the Z axis which is what you want for the hp

yeah, i'll try comparing to the released one
firepoints should be fine, and the rotation is good
the blade shows up and swings but no damage
do i need to change something in the parent odf? so far i've only changed the rep_weap_lightsabre_obiwan.odf file.

Anything in the child ODF will override the parent ODF. Thus if you put a modifier in the child ODF, it will overwrite the same modifier in the parent ODF, making it so that you should not need to edit the parent ODF.

Look at your lua.
Code: Select all
SetMemoryPoolSize("Combo::DamageSample", 0)
You need to give that a non-zero value for the saber to do damage. I knew there was a reason I made note of that in the other thread. O_o
Code: Select all
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo",20) -- should be ~ 2x number of jedi classes
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::State",300) -- should be ~12x #Combo
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Transition",300) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Condition",300) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Attack",150) -- should be ~8-12x #Combo
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::DamageSample",1800) -- should be ~8-12x #Combo::Attack
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Deflect",50)
That's straight out of the mission lua guide. You'll need those, though you might want to refer to one of the game's luas to see how they set the values.
