Triggering animations when a specific key is pressed

[Specialist]

Can you explain how you got the animation to work George? I'm still learning MP coding (but this is something I've literally never tried before)

 

[Gergin Adam]

You mean me? I am still a learner like you Sure I can explain, here what I did.

First I did a new animation code in module animations named "crouch_d". This is an animation that the character sits, then gets up a few seconds later.

By searching on this forum, I prepared a code to trigger my crouching animation when clicked the key "left ctrl". I put it in module mission templates. Here it is:

multiplayer_crouch_2 = ( 0, 0, 0, [],

       [

         (multiplayer_get_my_player, ":i"),

         (player_get_agent_id, ":agent_1", ":i"),

         (ge, ":agent_1", 0),

         (try_begin),

           (key_clicked, key_left_control),

           (display_message,"@Comelme Deneme."), #Crouching Test.
         
           (multiplayer_send_2_int_to_server, multiplayer_event_animation_server, "anim_crouch_d", ":i"),

         (try_end),

         ])

I am sure you know that you should put the ID line

multiplayer_crouch_2,

under to where you want to use this code. I put it under multiplayer_tdm so I can only crouch in team deathmatch mode.

To do server and client stuff, check this link:

Scroll down and find "Animation Syncing", then apply to module scripts.

Now in game when I click left ctrl, I crouch for a few seconds then get up automatically. During crouching I can do everything like swinging sword, firing rifle etc. (upper body is free but lower body is locked)

Hope it helps you.

I know this thread has been inactive for a while but here what it says when I try to export, it says this. I dont know what it means but could someone help me. I wonder if this even works with mount and blade.

Error: Invalid object:cheer.Variables should start with $ sign and references should start with a tag
ERROR: Illegal Identifier:cheer

  (0, 0, 1, [(key_clicked, key_q)], [
       (get_player_agent_no, ":agent"),
       (agent_set_animation, ":agent", "anim_WHATEVER-THE-CHEER-ANIM-IS"),
  ]),

Did you use that and just dub in your animation? Also, unless you added it, I don't believe the animation name is "cheer", so check that. For the variable, I don't see why it would need a variable, since this doesn't use one.

 

[xPearse]

Well it is called cheer in the module animations.

Spoiler

["cheer", 0,
##  [2.5, "anim_human", 70000, 70045, arf_blend_in_5],
##  [3.0, "anim_human", 70100, 70150, arf_blend_in_5],
  [6.0, "man_cheer", 0, 185, arf_blend_in_5],
  [3.0, "man_cheer", 200, 289, arf_blend_in_5],
  [4.5, "man_cheer", 300, 437, arf_blend_in_5],
  [5.5, "man_cheer", 450, 617, arf_blend_in_5],
],

When I put it the animation named in the brf it comes up like this.

Spoiler

Error: Unrecognized tag:manin object:man_cheer
ERROR: Illegal Identifier:man_cheer

 

[Specialist]

Did you remake man_cheer using cheer? Or is that in an unused animation slot?

 

[xPearse]

No I just got it from the module animations. Didnt change anything.

No I just got it from the module animations. Didnt change anything.

If it wasn't commented out, then referencing it as "anim_cheer" should work fine. You shouldn't need to touch any .brfs or the animations file.

 

[xPearse]

Yea I did that and it works, thanks for that. I wouldnt have ever thought to put anim_ before the name of the animation.

 

[Caba`drin]

Cheers. Glad that's all it was.

I wouldnt have ever thought to put anim_ before the name of the animation.

Always need to use the file prefix when referencing things around the module system (trp_*, itm_*, script_*, anim_*, etc...see the complete list in any of the mod sys documentations or my syntax link).

 

[xPearse]

Thanks again, I'll bookmark that and im sure it will come in handy in the future.
