hello,
i wanted to ask how i can make animated characters that are neither playable characters nor AI or something , just persons that just have animations but don't follow any lines or have certain game-goals. An example for this type of character would be the imperial officer or the storm-trooper-like-guys in one of the vice thermill mission The Big "L". help would be cool. thx in advise

in the everything you need thread you can find a tutorial about "making animated prop" it explains how to do that

(maveritchell has done it differently but this is the easiest way)

the topic should be moved in the moddingforum

ok but could you give me somekind of link or somethinf, cuz i can neither find it in the everything you need thread nore in the XSI FAQ/tutorial . thx in advise

okay but actually i was looking for something with which i can make make my own characters with own animations. As I i understood the topic you gave me, its only for importing already existing animated props into the game. Or have i perhaps missinterpreted it?
thx for help

look in the xsi FAQ/tutorials then, you can find tutorials for creating units and animations there
