This makes me think.
If you resized them to a realistic size, you could attach them to spiderwebs and spider eggs blockages.
Yes, I've already done that
And the effect is fantastic!

Here the moonwalk effect is more visible - both because the legs are less confusing and the size has to be 40% in each dimension to be groupable without problems.
Anyway, better than nothing
As always, remember to change the attack parameters, etc.
I'll take what I can get.

ok so i friggn LOVE The mini ogres... I need someone to make smaller hammers.
also i need help getting the mini ogres to actually do dmg....
Code: Select all

Can anyone see why they cant actually hit the player ?

I'm investigating into that.. seems the animation is also used for collision detection (which is odd given the tile structure of the game)

This is
very very strange.
Basically I tried different scalings first and then directly tried the unscaled animations from the asset pack.
It seems that the attacks work only if the path of the animation starts with "assets/" and doesn't work with "mod_assets/" even if it's the same file. Maybe there is some kind of look-up table in the game to determine the attack frame ? This however would mean that not only scaling the monsters would be somewhat difficult (we can always attach to onAttack and do some magic), but also for any other kind of custom animation monster.
I'm not sure of what I discovered and now I have to go to work.
Will try again later this evening before crying "wolf"

I retested briefly in the lunch break the following:
- Copy the animation folder of the herder from [...]\assets\animation\monsters to [...]\mod_assets\animation\monsters
- Copy the lua definition of the herder from monsters.lua into the dungeon's own monsters.lua, rename in "myherder"
- Change in the definition from assets/animation/[...] to mod_assets/animation/[...]
- Create an empty room with just myself and "myherder"
- Result: the herder attacks but never hits
This seem to be an issue in the engine unless, of course, I messed up something in the process.
Update:
I tried with a cloneObject instead of a defineObject => same result.
Code: Select all
cloneObject{
name = "myherder",
baseObject = "herder",
animations = {
idle = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_idle.fbx",
moveForward = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_walk.fbx",
turnLeft = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_turn_left.fbx",
turnRight = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_turn_right.fbx",
attack = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_attack.fbx",
attack2 = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_attack_02.fbx",
getHitFrontLeft = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_front_left.fbx",
getHitFrontRight = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_front_right.fbx",
getHitBack = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_back.fbx",
getHitLeft = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_left.fbx",
getHitRight = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_right.fbx",
fall = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/herder/herder_med_top_get_hit_front_left.fbx",
},
}

If you are attaching new animations to monsters you will also need to define a host of new animation events which tell the game what events occur at specific frames of the animation. These won't carry over from the previous animations automatically.
For instance...
Code: Select all
defineAnimationEvent{
animation = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_attack.fbx",
event = "attack",
frame = 23,
}
Would need to be reproduced in animation_events.lua of the mod (made up the path name for this example)...
Code: Select all
defineAnimationEvent{
animation = "mod_assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/mini_tunnel_ogre_attack.fbx",
event = "attack",
frame = 23,
}
