So I have discovered the frame limit to a scenery object is 2000. Unfortunately I have a 4000 framed animation I would like to export. I know what everyone reading this is thinking "why do you need an animation that is 4000 frames". It's a simple scenery animation with a mouse droid moving along the floor. I stretched the 4000 framed animation down to 2000, but unfortunately it moves to fast. I can dumb down the animation but I would appreciate keeping it at the length it's currently set at. Is there a way I can trigger several animation sequences to play one after the other? For Example, after the first animation would be complete, instead of restarting it would move to a second, then third animation. I noticed a "next animation" option at the bottom of my animation tag, but unfortunately I could not accomplish anything when toying around with that.

Thanks Again.

You mean permutastions? Yeah, it's possible. Let me get my good old script book.

(scenery_animation_start <scenery> <animation_graph> <string>)

This should help you. You need to give the scenery it's own name in Sapien though and I think you can leave the string as "" with the quotations.

Thanks for your help.

So let me get this right.
I have two animations. Mouse and Mouse1. I want Mouse 1 to play immediately after mouse. The scenery objects is named mouse_scenery. Would the script look like this?

(scenery_animation_start <mouse_scenery> <mouse> <mouse1> <string>)

Oh my gosh thanks for the info. I was wondering how to do this as well, but I suck with scripts... Can you possibly post the example for two animation sequences from above (mouse + mouse1)?

Well actually,

(script continuous theundergroundmousepeople
	(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse  "")
	(sleep_until (not (scenery_get_animation_time mouse_scenery)))
	(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse1  "")
)

the code:

(scenery_get_animation_time mouse_scenery)

will return as 0(false) if the animation has finished. So, the script would sleep_until the animation is

(not <false statement>)

and the script would play the next animation seamlessly.

thanks for helping me here

I know I'm probably making this more difficult then what it really is...but I tried the script with no luck. My error reads:


12.11.11 15:25:35 recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
12.11.11 15:25:35 this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (script continuous Vehicle_Tele

This is placed after a few vehicle teleports I have places and working properly.

)
(if (= (volume_test_object Warp45Enter luke6) true)
(object_teleport luke6 Warp45Exit)
)
(if (= (volume_test_object Warp45Enter milf1) true)
(object_teleport milf1 Warp45Exit)
)
)
(script continuous theundergroundmousepeople
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse "")
(sleep_until (not (scenery_get_animation_time mouse_scenery)))
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse1 "")
)
)

Check your vehicle tele script. See if you have any brackets missing

I'm not sure exactly whats up with the first error. the animation_graph tag in sapien probably hasn't been added in properly or something. Not quite sure

As for the script:

(script continuous theundergroundmousepeople
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse "")
(sleep_until (not (scenery_get_animation_time mouse_scenery)))
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse1 ""))

or maybe this:

(script continuous theundergroundmousepeople
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse "")
(sleep_until (= (scenery_get_animation_time mouse_scenery) 0))
(scenery_animation_start mouse_scenery mouse1 ""))


try them, see if the second error dissapears

Thanks...your right...the bottom script fixed the one error....one down..one to go.

did you remember to define the tag in the globals?

(global object_definition <name> <tagpath in the tag folder>)

Example,

(global object_definition assault_rifle "weapons\assault rifle\assault rifle")

no I did not do that, nor do I really understand what to do with this information. I scanned the globals.globals file but could not find anywhere appropriate to insert this. Could you be more specific, and thanks for your patience with my inexperienced tag editing on this.

Put it at the top of the script.
