Set a Model Animation

[Ronon Dex]

Hi, im coding my own Jumper using the V3 model. I have the animation names but how do i run them? This is what i've got.

function ENT:Draw()
	self.Entity:DrawModel()
	if LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_SPEED) then

		local sequence = self.Entity:LookupSequence("open")
		self.Entity:SetSequence("open_seq.SMD")
	end

	if LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_WALK) then
		
		local sequence = self.Entity:LookupSequence("close")
		self.Entity:SetSequence("close_seq.SMD")

	end
end

Thanks

The animations are all ready run

[Ronon Dex]

Yes sorry, thats what i've got to make them run but the problem is, the model goes invisible and nothing happens

[Ronon Dex]

I've just acquired the error from the console, its not a lua error i think...

Bad sequence (-1 out of 6 max) in GetSequenceLinearMotion() for model 'Votekick/jumper/Jumper_V3.mdl'!

Thats the problem its not working for some reason. I have now made a hook in init.lua that sets the animation and then in cl_init.lua if you press shift the hook runs. But the animation is not working.

Just incase you need it.

Init.lua:
[lua]

function ENT:OpenDriveAnim()

local sequence = self.Entity:LookupSequence("open") -- open_seq.SMD
self.Entity:SetSequence(sequence)

end

hook.Add( "Think", "drive_pods_open", OpenDriveAnim )

function ENT:CloseDriveAnim()

local closePOD = self.Entity:LookupSequence("close_seq")
self.Entity:SetSequence(closePOD)

end

hook.Add( "Think", "drive_pods_close", CloseDriveAnim )
[/lua]

cl_init.lua:
[lua]
function ENT:Think()
if( input.IsKeyDown(KEY_LSHIFT) ) then
if( not pressed ) then
pressed = true
hook.Call( drive_pods_open, gmod.GetGamemode() )
end
else
if( pressed ) then
pressed = false;
return
end
end
end
[/lua]

Also the Animation info:

$sequence open "open_seq.SMD" fps 15
$sequence close "close_seq.SMD" fps 15

Thanks

Ok so you're switching constatly?

[Ronon Dex]

Basically, the i want the drive pods to open when you press shift, but the animation isn't running no matter what i do. Any Help?

[commander204]

[lua]
function ENT:OpenDriveAnim()

local sequence = self.Entity:LookupSequence("open") -- open_seq.SMD
self.Entity:SetSequence(sequence)

end

hook.Add( "Think", "drive_pods_open", OpenDriveAnim )

function ENT:CloseDriveAnim()

local closePOD = self.Entity:LookupSequence("close_seq")
self.Entity:SetSequence(closePOD)

end

hook.Add( "Think", "drive_pods_close", CloseDriveAnim )

[/lua]

I meant them!! If you're running them on the same time you really fuck it up!

[DarKSunrise]

Why the fuck you want to constantly set the animation? Just do it once.

[Ronon Dex]

I've got it doing what i want now its not a problem
