Weird handle grip issue with the Pak40 and AT25

[Patito92]

I've imported the Pak40 and AT25 to a map I'm developing, everything is as it should be except one thing.
When I traverse the gun, the soldier's left hand remains still while the right hand moves along with the wheel. I know I'm not being very clear, please excuse me as I'm not from an english speaking country. I'm talking about these lines of the Objects.con file:

Code: Select all

rem *** AT25HandleGrip1 ***
ObjectTemplate.create AnimatedBundle AT25HandleGrip1
ObjectTemplate.addSkeletonIK Bip01_L_Hand 0.07/0/0 0/0/0

rem *** AT25HandleGrip2 ***
ObjectTemplate.create AnimatedBundle AT25HandleGrip2
ObjectTemplate.addSkeletonIK Bip01_R_Hand 0.0/0.0/0.1 -90/-20/180

It's annoying, why the right hand works fine and the left doesn't? Please look at the complete Objects.con file and tell me if you see anything out of place:

Please help me, thank you

It might have something to do with Animations. Have you tried that?

[Patito92]

It's just that as far is I know handle grips are not animations, therefore no .ske is specified in the Objects.con file. It binds the soldier's hand to the rotational bundle.

[Patito92]

I found the problem, it seems that the line "ObjectTemplate.addSkeletonIK" only works for objects that belong to the mod. When adding a custom object you have to use this lines instead:

Code: Select all

rem *** AT25HandleGrip1 ***
ObjectTemplate.create AnimatedBundle AT25HandleGrip1
rem ObjectTemplate.addSkeletonIK Bip01_L_Hand 0.07/0/0 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Attach_L_Hand
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0.07/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setRotation 0/0/0

rem *** AT25HandleGrip2 ***
ObjectTemplate.create AnimatedBundle AT25HandleGrip2
rem ObjectTemplate.addSkeletonIK Bip01_R_Hand 0.0/0.0/0.1 -90/-20/180
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Attach_R_Hand
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0/0/0.1
ObjectTemplate.setRotation -90/-20/180

I figured it out by looking at "The Great Pursuit" objects coding, my thanks to its creators.

Well I guess this one is solved. Thanks for your time

[Swaffy]

Glad you found your problem, man.
Stuff can get frustrating sometimes.
