Hi all,

I have a problem with using the free media that comes with DBC. You know, the models in the program files under media. I'm just trying to use the animated Samurai model for a game because I don't want to make it mysel when it's not needed, but the problem is I don't know how to find out the keyframes to animate the model correctly. I know how to write the code to animate him and to move from say idle.x to walk.x but I don't know what the correct keyframes for each animation are. Any help would be appreciated.

If I remember correctly, the Samurai animations are saved separately. So to get the number of keyframes, simply get them by using the command total object frames(obj).

Something like

* not tested
After you did this, the walking animation = 1 -> WalkEnd and the Idle animation ranges from WalkEnd -> IdleEnd

One more thing though, I used that object too once, and I thought the limb numbers did not match, and therefor, the object did not animate correctly...
If that occurs, try to avoid the append object command. (Load as 2 seperate models and hide one of the 2 every time)

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

@sven
Thanks! Total object frames seems to be working, not for the samurai but for the other models. Hopefully it'll work out.

I'm not sure what deep exploration is, maybe I'll do a search.
