In quality it reminds me of Yomamasmama's old 3d walking animation example...

EDIT: actually, I'm not sure who made that...

hmm.. this seems to be what i'm trying to achieve with my giant robot walk animation. (killbot game link below)
i got mine to work, but.. it's crazy.. and uses too many shape transformations.. and i hate it.. but i went and added elbows and knees.. (yours doesn't seem to have that?)

all this time i've been pestering Tepi, Icuurd, Slayer, etc into fixing my problem when it seems i should have been pestering you!

i don't know how you're doing it (will d/l soon) ..but if this could utilise the 3d particle dll (by Icuurd) then i think the methods could be shortened, and models can be used instead of shapes (much faster, and much faster again by using the p3d dll.)

are you able to locate the x,y,z location of an objects tip? (like a bone system?) i wasn't able to do that???

...awesome job, even without running it yet, i know this is going to help me achieve what i'm after.

[Drandula]

Well, I didn't include elbows etc. because it would have been too complicated. And this is Simple 3D Walk animation.

And I haven't ever used DLL's, expect one. So DLL's you are talking about makes totally no sense to me ^^"

No, you cannot pinpoint x,y,z positions of shapes tip. But I think it can be done with lengthdir_'s.
Then you could do elbows and everything else.

You wonderful wonderful person

This is without a doubt, one of THE best 3D engines I seen created. So easy to follow!
Do you mind if i use it in a game/engine i will give credit and change textures, and maybe add more features to the person.

Seriously though, I wish you could give rep on this forum, cause if you could *button mashes on rep button* xD
Btw, if anyone wants a fun little added extra.

I'm building my engine, and I decided to release this its this engine incorporated with mine (mine = unfinished)
http://dl.dropbox.co...gine+Player.gmk
Space= move character on Z axis (upwards)
Ctrl= Move character on Z axis (downwards)
Arrow Keys= Move Character (along z plane)

Box collision,
collide with top of box!!!!

If anyone can make it that you fall off the edge, PLEASE POST! I Cannot figure it out!!

You forgot to add gravity. Download the official FPS tutorial, you have a good gravity example there. Also enable gravity only when space and ctrl aren't pressed.

I'm working on gravity but it's not going too well, i'm using this character animation engine added to my own (incomplete one) but when the chara goes up, he dont come down straight away

Well of course you can use it. Didn't I write in first post, just add me in credits.

About gravity, set in create event

z=0 zspeed=0 zg=0

In step event

if z <= 0 {z=0 zspeed=0 zg=0} else {z+=zspeed zspeed+=zg zg=-(force of gravity)}

For jump key, for example Space

if z=0 zspeed =(force of jump)

Thats how I remember the base of making gravity for 3D game.

Well i have the bulk of that, but because of the way my collisions work, that may not go so well (the jumping) I tried it and it failed.. lol, can you take a look at my engine, (jump just goes on forever) and see whats up?

Download From Dropbox

Everyone - Please don't rip the Collisions they took me over a day to code! This engine alone has taken up the bulk of my week and its nowhere near finished! (with changing blocks ect, i started off with buildings, then buildings and a flat car sprite... then buildings with walking dude (thanks to drandula) now blocks, with collisions, with walking! )

(BTW its only for my games, so dont go saying it wont suit many others.. cause i'll release the source after i release my games. "/)


**FIXED***************************************************************************
Oo i fixed it using this method (incase anyone wants to know):
When the player collides with the top of a block at 52z, jumptrue=true, in the jump event, before the actions, it says if(jumptrue=true){jump code}

when he collides with the top of the object, it also sets jumpheighest to 102, when the player reaches this number, jumptrue=false

And I change the jumpheight when he goes on a larger block.

Its going to take me a while to comment it all so i'll know what it does if i forget XD

Test it out :

Controls- Space to jump
Arrow keys to move

^ Jumping is bit odd, doesn't feel real. I fixed it by myself:

Thanks much man, yeh, mine was very... sticky that really helps man, thanks!!!

[Glen]

Very Nice. I like the movement.

hi again.

lengthdir statements will only work in 2D mode (i've tried) ~ the vectors change in 3D mode, a more advanced calc is needed.

thanks for your time tho' - if you want the code pieces for adding elbows and knees just drop me a PM.

[smash ball]

This great, just what I need to do a remake of OOT! I just figured out how to make my character jump off ledges (I am using another 3D example for terrain). This did take a bit of editing to make it work for my crude ellipsoid and cylinder shapes!

[ikkentim]

thanks verry much!!!

[slyx114]

Excelent example. 6/5

[thatshelby]

It's a bit of a necropost but this is AMAZING. I found a link in your signature (And was curious, I'm into 3D all of a sudden) and I LOVE IT! I just wish it was a little better commented. Do you mind if I PM you if I don't understand it?

[Drandula]

Thanks

Yeah, its a bit of gravedigging, but I don't mind.
You can send PM's, I'll try answer as well as I can.
I can add more comments in file, I don't see it as big job.

Simple 3D walking animation and 3D platform example imbued together:



This example is better commented.

Awesome example!

But I've got a "small" problem.
Currently I'm making a 3rd person horror shooter and off course there will be zombies (somehow everyone makes a zombie game )
Anyway, I want them to hold their arms always in front of them and just shaking a bit up and down. (yeah my game is based on stereotypes)
i solved this editing the end step event:

// Hands rotation
hand_l_x = 55
hand_l_y = 340
hand_l_z = image_angle + 95


hand_r_x = -85
hand_r_y = 250
hand_r_z = image_angle-25

I found these values with trying around a little bit.. but it's not statisfying me..
I'm sure, you as the developer of that script can suggest me a much better version, don't you?

it would be enugh if the arms had an angle of 90° and move between 85° and 95° while walking or something.. ^^

nice but all of my reading of it and studying... i have no clue how it works...
