Use console commands.

It would be soooooo much easier to just have it in the stool.

[faolco1]

You guys are pussies.

Real men use consoles

The new tool will have running animations with NPC control addon the running animations could be in the tool too but i don't know.

I don't know and i don't remember him telling me about a fix in V5.

[MaxOfS2D]

The fix is really simple, so show him this post

When you tell Source to play an animation, it will not give up at the first sight when not finding the file; for instance, the current version of the tool does NOT specify the extension .vcd (as in, it tells Source to play scenes/yourscene , which it converts into scenes/yourscene.vcd after the first try). However, an odd engine glitch prevents Flex data from being played if the file hasn't been found directly.

See what I mean?

I'm looking forward to being able to exploit all the NPC running animations :v:

NPC Camera no longer works, it would be nice of someone could revive NPC Camera, Tween Camera, and moving camera stool. (even though catmull is kind of like a replacement for that) the moving cam tool is much more simpler to use)

anyone gonna make a ingame faceposeing tut?

[QUOTE=brubru10;19953308]anyone gonna make a ingame faceposeing tut?[/QUOTE]

you can't do that sort of faceposeing from Source SDK in GMod... -.-

you can do stop motion which is taken screenshots of each expression you make with faceposer tool

[MaxOfS2D]

Stop motion is amazing if you do it right, but Faceposer will always be better

[ScoutKing]

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;19959405]Stop motion is amazing if you do it right, but Faceposer will always be better[/QUOTE]

yes it will always be better.
I also just finished faceposing your voice max, you a sassy frenchmen.

You can't do gestures, if you use gesture and posture correctly, you can make your character/actor seem like hes really living if you match his expressions with his personality.

I wish to know, how do people change the faceposing of ragdolls without using the toolgun?

ent_setname actorname; ent_fire actorname setexpressionoverride scenes\foldername\scenename.vcd

you aim at an npc then type in paste that command with YOUR actor's name, folder name if you have a sub folder which your scene file is in after garrysmod\scenes and with the scene name itself.
