As you can see they drop then go up continuously
Maybe able to be fixed

That is the same thing I had a prob with when trying to place them on ships docked...as if to look like they are being loaded...it would continue to repeat...
is this code on a loop of a certain time frame pertaining to the container? :hmm:

Koon

The top half of each side of the Trap Container has a keyframe animation
sequence.
Once it reaches the last keyframe, it starts at the first keyframe again.
The timeing and positioning can be changed but there is no control
to halt it or restart it on demand.

[Letum]

I don't suppose there are any controllers that can be taken from SH4 to trigger the animation....

Or, how about a gun that only looks like a crate from 90 degrees AOB. When the gun turns it becomes clear that it just has sides to make it look like a crate. (does that make sense?)


/shots in the dark

No hardcode in place to use SH4 controllers or many things would have
already been snagged.

I have a theory to try that, if it works?
The traps will drop as they should.

But it will be Monday or so before I can test the idea.

This break thru is too great to not do for the stake of eye candy...yes if it can be done with full action, planel dropping, men running glory great but the above mention "workaround" would be unreal

My 2 bits BTW thanks again for your great contribution on this and so many other mods sir It is truely appreciated!!

If somebody could fix animation sequence or remodel trap container with proper animation it would the real dessision of the problem. By the way I used to read that trap container as being opened used to stay in this position for about 10-15 minutes generaly.

I may be way wrong but, didn't Rubini do something along these lines ?

Me old gray memory ain't what she used to be.

Ya bloody slacker....thought I hadn't seen ya over at The Lair these past few days.

Check the staff area when your able......lest we proceed anyways (from her who must be obeyed)

What's it to be.....I've got 6 of the team + Koondawg (a poor response for testers from here I must say....lesson learned :hmm: ) waiting to start testing where and how often the vessel appears (containers with muzzle flashes only....as in photos in original post) and in what skins.

I've also included a short single mission so the animation can be viewed beforehand.

My own thoughts are that if the testing went ahead if the mod proved successful, we could always update later if the trap containers get sorted.

Did he? Or may be I just have missed something?

[coronas]

What about guns in sponsons? Board and starboard, hidden under the deck or in the bridge, like secondary armament of HMS Warspite. Guns could shooting throw holes in the sides of the ship.
