Animtree - Need alittle help

[EddieEllis]

hello,
so i have been doing some work on the animtree for my character, and i have mostly everything working. But seem to have two issues i cant figure out, and would like to know if someone can help.

1) i have setup a sequence for Jumping, and i have a seperate sequence for the land of the double jump. I want this seqence to play as the character hits the floor. But as soon as the character hits the floor, it plays the idle sequences. Is there any way to force an animation to play from start to finish (take priority over exsiting animations until its finished)

Any help would be appericated.

Many Thanks

Eddie

I'd also like to get an answer for this, I've been getting the same result.
No landing animation??

Use the Human animtree that ships with UDK for reference.

There is good stuff in there

Yep, been there. In fact I can't even be sure the animation for the land in the Human anim tree is even playing out in game, or if it's just transitioning from preland to idle?
I've tried scaling the animation on the land anim to a slow rate to see If I could confirm it's actually there and it makes no difference.

I've messed with all the settings in the BlendByFall node, nope I can't get that land animation to play. And I can't get the sample ones to play out slower.

Still a newb, so I hope it's a simple oversight.
Seems to me that once on the ground the physics switches to walking and doesn't get to play the land part of the jump sequence.

BTW Great Blog Allar!! I'm working my way through your tutes. Thanx.

Ok, got it sorted. Looks like the UTAnimNodes are the way to go. They have some other properties that allow some delays. Yep simple oversight.


All you have to do is use the UTanimblendByPhysics and UTAnimBlendFall.

Try setting the land blend delay on the UTAnimBlendByPhysics Node. (That's the magic one right there).

Also set the blend time under animation in the UTAnimBlendByFall settings

With these two you can tune the landing pretty well.

Huzzah! Just learned some animtree magic myself, you can do some great things with it.
