[needed] water interaction + anim

[keltos01]

the AA gun moves following the arrow's direction, but it doesn't stop rotating...

I need to make an object move when my boat submerges. And appear when we surface...

where do I find a water interaction controller and how do I link it to my model's animation ?

thanks

Look in the flooding holes or the dive planes. They both change their status when submerged/surfaced.

Silverwolf may be the one to go to for advice as well. A lot of his mods do what you're describing.

Where is the controller linked to the planes ? the one that starts the animation as you dive ?how is it linked to the planes ?

what I managed so far is to rotate the gun backwards and then to lower it in the hull, but the animation loops ingame

surfacing : the guns come up

Going to periscope depth :



you can see the AA guns lowering themselves into the hull.



underwater : AA gun stowed away !

one gun to check though but it works !!

I copied the bak plane node from the hull with its label, set the parent id of both AA guns to that of the added backplane, set the plane to visible=no, moved it to 0,0,0 so it would be centered and the AAs at their right places.

the view here above is when surfacing the sub : the AAs are there

This I couldn't figure out alone : thanks to Silverwolf and Peabody who told me what to do !

where does the bow/rear planes animation come from ?

it's not in the submarine.dat , I can't find their ids in any of the files but for the .zon (damage)

it is also linked to a water interaction node somewhere... where ???

anyone knows ?
