Synchronization

[lolek123]

Yo,

I replaced a ped with a much bigger one. A dinosaur

Now I want to set him an animation. I'm trying to make him walk. My problem is that he takes big steps, but it seems like he's not moving at all. Is there any way that I could speed him up, so I will synchronize the animation with his actual steps?

Thanks.

setElementPosition will do it, you can put it in onClientRender to make it smooth. I don't think there's any other way to speed it up.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "data/Velociraptor/velociraptor.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( txd, 1 ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "data/Velociraptor/velociraptor.dff" ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, 1 ) 
    txd2 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/Tyrannosaurus/tyrannosaurus.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( txd2, 2 ) 
    dff2 = engineLoadDFF ( "data/Tyrannosaurus/tyrannosaurus.dff" ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff2, 2 ) 
end) 
  
  
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
    ped1 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1655, 14, 90 ) 
    ped2 = createPed ( 2, 2471, -1658, 14, 90 ) 
    ped3 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1661, 14, 90 ) 
    ped4 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1664, 14, 90 ) 
    ped5 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1667, 14, 90 ) 
    setPedAnimation( ped1, "FAT", "FatSprint") 
    setPedAnimation( ped2, "FAT", "FatWalk", 0, true, true ) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", , smooth ) 
function smooth () 
    root = getRootElement() 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition( ped2 ) 
    setElementPostion( ped2, x + 10, y, z ) 
end 

Help would be appreciated, thank you.

Try this :

ped1 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1655, 14, 90 ) 
ped2 = createPed ( 2, 2471, -1658, 14, 90 ) 
ped3 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1661, 14, 90 ) 
ped4 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1664, 14, 90 ) 
ped5 = createPed ( 1, 2471, -1667, 14, 90 ) 
setPedAnimation( ped1, "FAT", "FatSprint") 
setPedAnimation( ped2, "FAT", "FatWalk", 0, true, true ) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function() 
        txd = engineLoadTXD ( "data/Velociraptor/velociraptor.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, 1 ) 
        dff = engineLoadDFF ( "data/Velociraptor/velociraptor.dff" ) 
        engineReplaceModel ( dff, 1 ) 
        txd2 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/Tyrannosaurus/tyrannosaurus.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd2, 2 ) 
        dff2 = engineLoadDFF ( "data/Tyrannosaurus/tyrannosaurus.dff" ) 
        engineReplaceModel ( dff2, 2 ) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root,  
    function ( ) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( ped2 ) 
        setElementPosition ( ped2, x + 10, y, z ) 
    end 
)

Using setElementPosition without setting the 5th argument to false will reset the animation. Try something like this for speed-up:

  
local speedmult = 0.1 
  
addEventHandler("onClientPreRender", root, 
    function(timeslice) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(ped2) 
        local vx, vy, vz = getElementVelocity(ped2) 
        local speedmult = speedmult*timeslice 
        vx, vy, vz = vx*speedmult, vy*speedmult, vz*speedmult 
        setElementPosition(ped2, x+vx, y+vy, z+vz, true) 
    end 
) 

As you can see, it gets the velocity of the ped, multiplies it by some value (you can change the speed by editing the speedmult value) and adds it to the position, so it moves in the direction where the animations and control states make it move.

Hell yea, man! Awesome. I'd never get it myself. Really pleased there are people that are willing to help.
