I do not want to have to do a whole animation of the same move in my anim8ing program for the other side, bcoz it wont be the same and is time consuming and takes too much effort. I was wondering if there's a command or a possible way of doing it using code in DBC/DBP? It would be verry usefull and is necessary for what I'm doing. If theres is not I'm requesting an update which will include this command. PLS contribute with your own request of the same thing to TGC to let them know we really do need it. Thnks.

Ok i'm thinking because my previose question isn't possible I might animate my model (with bones) from within DB, anyone know how to flip/mirror (so to speak) the animation data so the exact anim is played but on the oppisite limbs? for eg: a right hand punch anim converted so it becomes a left punch anim.

scale the object negative on the X axis.

scale object obj, -100, 100, 100

It should mirror all verteces from left<>right.

Or set the object speed to a negative number.

Set object speed 1,-100

Hey yeah thnks that sounds like it should work, I will try.

@ Sixty squares Hey wouldn't that just play the animation backwards rather than fliping/mirroring it? Any way I shall try both and see What happens thnks .

Ok Sven well that definately works but not without glitches, for instance, his neck is kinda out of place now and some how by magic he now has a right eyeball object in the exact right place of the right shape and size which I did not put there o_O That is verry verry weird!

use set object obj, 1, 0, 0

It turns off culling (= hiding faces that are turned backwards to the camera).
