how to mix animations

[netserk]

I have two animations of my third person avatar. One where he runs and one where he is swinging his arm. Is it possible to mix the animations in some smart way so he can run while he swings his arm.

is the arm swinging a punch attack?

Does third person avatar = your making a third person mod and this is the player model?

OR

= this is a multiplayer mod

OR

= this is a custom npc

Different answers for each, I only know one though.

It is a singleplayer game and the third person avatar is the player model controlled by the player.
The arm swinging is not an attack only an animation.

I found a solution using addlayer and weightlist in the qc-file:

Code: Select all

...
$weightlist no_body "jRoot" 0.0 "jPelvis" 1.0
$weightlist no_legs "jRoot" 1.0 "jPelvis" 0.0
...
$sequence Run "run" activity ACT_RUN 2 loop weightlist no_body
$sequence Swing "swing" activity ACT_SWING 2 weightlist no_legs
...
$sequence Swing_SwingTest "run_and_swing" activity ACT_Run_SWING 2 addlayer Run
...

This blends the body of an animation with the animation of the legs from another sequence.
