problem importing animations

[ThijsH]

Hi, I seem to have a problem with the animation importer (Animation_Importer_v1-0-3.ms). When I import a 1st person view animation after I loaded all the necessary models with GBXModel_Importer_v2-0-0.ms any weapon I try to load doesn't animate well. The masterchief's arms move right but the weapon doesn't.

You guys have any idea what I'm doing wron? Thanks for the help.

link the weapon model to frame gun and link frame gun to the right wrist.

[ThijsH]

ah that did it. With some models it messes up the model though but I think I can figure that out, thanks alot.

link the weapon model to frame gun and link frame gun to the right wrist.
Why the frame gun to the wrist?
Never heard of that before, I don't think it'd make a difference.

They have the gun linked to the wrist in most if not all fp anims, is why (IIRC). Make sure you link frame gun to frame bone24 too.

Hey I've got another question. Is there any way to fuse a weapon model and cyborg arms together without loss of animation? I've been trying to do this without sucess.

[Bastinka]

Same nodes as the cyborgs arms?
Maybe you mean like samus' arm gun, if so just change the model and have it rigged. Only the bones are animated, so you can change the model.

[ThijsH]

No, more like making it one mesh(normaly there are 2), when I attach one mesh to another certain animation get lost. I've tried relinking the bones but that doesn't work either.

[ThijsH]

any ideas?

[Roostervier]

Why do you need the two attached into one model? I don't see the point unless it's Samus' arm cannon, like SilentWind said.

I am trying to import some halo guns into another game, which only supports weapons which are one mesh.

Move to where you need it to go.

Go into Editable Mesh/Poly of your arms.

Click YES if it bothers you.

Click Attach

Click your model

BAM voila its one mesh.
