FL Animations

Nice Syd, i think Juni’s Defender does a wing fold thing as well come to think of it

i stoped my work at Junis Defender because i´m lazy^^

umm… the Valkyre actually already has animations for wings, so I dont understand whats so special about making them work. Its one line in shiparch to bind the animation.

Sure but u need to know how to and than u must do a vid of it that’s pretty much work ;D

Wicked! ;D

AWESOME!!!

Now you just need to find a way to trigger these actions with client-side hooking ;D

I was told that is possible and just need some testing.
But I’m not sure if it is possible to lock the animation when the wings are closed.

These vids are nice and dandy but, can this be done without using the jetison feature and while flying through space? Not just sitting still to watch it work. I’m sure it would take some kind of special coding and having to place an icon for it somewhere but, can it be done?

This animation was more complex just because of all the moving parts. It took me a few hours to figure out how to get it all moving correctly and in unison.

You’ll see four independent animations in the video:

1. The cockpit
2. The entire base of the ship move
3. The left wing
4. The right wing

Now here’s hoping for some w0dk4 magic to find a new way to get these animations to work

OMFG… need to learn that… soon… asap…

U’re awesome sushi

@Mini_Me:

The thread where a lot of this was worked out is Here -reply #72
With just FL (not FLHook /FLAC) the only initiations [so far] for an animation are: docking / jumping, firing, jettisoning cargo, tractoring, and constant.

well if firing sushi can just make the S-foils being closed all the time until firing, like its supposed to be

OMG nice job on the b-wing! Thats amazing

Just throwing something in here… And I know it’s for effects (used on contrails), but maybe it’s possible somehow to use the line “use_throttle” for those animations, so when a ship accelarates the wings will fold/unfold?

Thanks, Mind. If you have some troubles with it, hit me up. I could even make a video tutorial down the line, if you like

Moar wing folding goodness ;D

@ Legion…

Thats kind were my heads headed with this… but i’d be more inclined (if i knew how lol)
to try to tie it to “trail_effect_player” in the engines… possibly via hook??

This only seems to kick in when cruise is hit… and that’s the perfect place for such an animation
might look a little funny when having docking problems though

Awsome stuff though… keeping 2 keen eyes on these delvelopments

That is just plain perfect. A small note, Sushi, easy to fix - the shuttle’s wings don’t fold up that close to the middle wing - check some screenshots about it. Not something technical, just thought I’d add this.
