[SOLVED] setWeight not working?

[Killer.Penguin]

The following script seems to not be blending two animations for us:

 

mesh.setLayer(0);

mesh.setAnimation(xxx);

mesh.setWeight(0.5);

 

mesh.setLayer(1);

mesh.setAnimation(yyy);

mesh.setWeight(0.5);

 

Do I need to apply setBuffer to get it working?

Hi,

 

Sorry, can't reproduce such behavior. Could you please sent us minimal test scene?

Also, please check interpolation between two animation layer sample: samples/animation/animation_01.

 

Thanks!

[Killer.Penguin]

Well here's the whole thing:

 

public: void playAnimation(string nAnimation, float nBlend)

{

if (animation_current != nAnimation)

{

animation_current = nAnimation;

if (animations.check(nAnimation))

{

mesh.setLayer(0);

string oldAnimation = mesh.getAnimation();

float oldFrame = mesh.getFrame();

mesh.setAnimation(animations[nAnimation]);

mesh.setFrame(-1);

mesh.setSpeed(30);

mesh.setLoop(1);

if (mesh.isStopped()) mesh.play();

 

mesh.setLayer(1);

mesh.setAnimation(oldAnimation);

mesh.setFrame(oldFrame, -1, -1);

mesh.setSpeed(30);

mesh.setLoop(1);

if (mesh.isStopped()) mesh.play();

 

animation_blendTime = nBlend;

animation_blendTimer = 0;

}

else log.message ("Warning: animation " + nAnimation + " not found \n");

}

}

 

private: void updateAnimation(float dt)

{

if (animation_blendTimer < animation_blendTime)

{

animation_blendTimer = clamp(animation_blendTimer + dt, 0.0f, animation_blendTime);

float nBlendWeight = lerp(0.0f, 1.0f, animation_blendTimer/animation_blendTime);

 

mesh.setLayer(0);

mesh.setWeight(nBlendWeight);

 

mesh.setLayer(1);

mesh.setWeight(1.0f-nBlendWeight);

}

}

 

ps. In general, I found that animation that's not currently active (from setLayer(x)) refuse to play.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the script, but it's really hard to say what part of this code causing such behavior, sorry. It would be more efficient to all of us if you can sent us simple test scene with your *.world, *.cpp, *.smesh and animation files.

 

Thank you!

[Killer.Penguin]

What email should I send it to?

 

ps. Is it possible that there's some other parameter that set the animation to use only one layer?

Hi,

 

You can send scene directly to the engine-support@unigine.com.

 

Function mesh.setNumLayers()  is used to set the number of animation layers directly.

[Killer.Penguin]

Well I did use setNumLayers() to set it to 2 layers and double check it with getNumLayers(), everything seems to be correct, but the animation is just not blending.

 

If I can't clear this by tomorrow, I'll try to recreate a sample test scene for it.

Hi!

 

Looks like I'm doing some necroposting here but I'm curious is everything ok with that issue? Have you managed to get setWeight code working? Can I close that topic as solved?

[Killer.Penguin]

No, it's not. If you would please look at the project we sent you, you can un-hide all our test blend weight stuff in "scripts/Character.h" to see how it doesn't work...

Hi Warit,

 

I think I found source of the problem. You can't just set animations and call ObjectMeshSkinned::play, you have to call ObjectMeshSkinned::setFrame for each layer instead. If you look at samples/animation/animation_01 you can notice that code (i've cleaned it up a little bit):

float time = engine.game.getTime();
		
mesh.setLayer(0);
mesh.setFrame(time);
mesh.setWeight(weight);
		
mesh.setLayer(1);
mesh.setFrame(time);
mesh.setWeight(1.0f - weight);

[Killer.Penguin]

Hmmm ok... in order to use animation layers, I have to use setFrame updating each layer every frame?

[unclebob]

Yes!
