well, i can play morh animation but only when i used skekeletalmeshMAT... but now, my body animation don´t play !!!... another problem... again... well, i am going to post it here and i hope that someone can help me!

if i use skeletalmesh, i can play body animation, but i cannot play morphs
if i use skeletalmeshMAT, i can play morphs, but i cannot play body...

why? please, help me...

MAT handles both fine when set up properly. If your body animation is not playing in MAT it is because you have something wrong in the animtree or an incorrectly set up matinee. For it to work properly you must have slots set up.

i not sure.. i am going to see all again...

but, if you say is tru, why in skeletalMesh (not skeletealmeshMAT) the body animation is ok?

i´ll try thay yu say anyway...

Look at the settings of your individual animation nodes in the animtree, that is where the answers lay. It controls whether they play automatically, what point they begin from, whether they loop or not, etc.

[titobruni]

i have set play and loop animation always... but another option setting? can you say me exactly "world"? please, my english is not well!!

i am continuing with the problem!

[titobruni]

ok, i get solution last problem... i set in animnode settings and i chek play, but uncheck loop.. and last, i set the current time in 0.00

the animation start in 0:00 now!

but... the morph animation looks like a bit slow or the sound, im not sure... when i use matinee the sound and morph are ok, but ingame, tey are not in properly sintony? why? any idea!...
please! tha last question!

[Henrik]

I'm afraid there's no simple way for me to troubleshoot that, it could even be your hardware causing the lag in-game. If I were you I would verify it on another machine if you are using this for a release of some kind so you know if it's actually something that requires correction or just your pc.

[titobruni]

i think like you... must be lag. only 0.5 secs, so when i anim the morphs, i fix 0.5 secs in my frames...

i havent another pc

[Henrik]

Glad you got it working.

[titobruni]

solved!!! i simply divided the sound pieces (abou 1:30 minutes) in some short parts (for earch phrase...) so i get the same velocity in the sound and morph animation, and i have got the syncrony!!

see you! ands thanks for every things!!
