[needed] help with bow planes animation for IJN subs

keltos01 · 03-09-09, 07:19 AM

Hello,

I need help (or someone to do it for me) changing the animation of the bow planes for the ijn submarines.

theirs are stored within the hull while cruising,

when submerging they come out horizontally, then move at an angle to force the sub to dive.

can anyone help ?

Keltos, have you looked at the way the current boats do it? There's a controller in the fleet boat sub files that controls the animations and it's atatched to the bow plane object. They state the start position and the keyframes in between. Basically, you tell it the start position and rotation of an object and what positions to go to in between and it will interpolate the animation for you over time. Take a look at that and see if you can see how it works.
