Changing Player model

Both Slide and RQP change the player model.

Ghost Fang just doesn't read anything unless you actually code it for him. It's pretty pointless really.

Potentially useless information:

The RQP mod allows you to change from a player to a Shambler or an Ogre with "Monster Transfomers" (the start map teleporters, specifically). The reason looking through the code might help is that the player and an ogre/shambler has different animation frames than the player.

Seeing how that mod handles it might help ... the ring and the Slide mod player model on the hoverboard are not animated so those are not as useful examples as far as I know.

/Is this post helpful, I don't know. I duck out an let the *real* QuakeC experts continue this thread.

Hey there Ghost_Fang,

I'm a bit of a noob too...
I may be wrong, but it looks like that any time you move, your code goes right in to player_mball1(); Initially this seems ok... but since you are in motion it never makes through the rest of your animation because it is continually jumping to player_mball1(); Basically your animation is instantly "resetting" to the first frame before it has a chance to get to the next frame.
Though, as I said, I could be wrong as at the moment animating model frames is a bit sketchy for me.

Changing self.walkframe doesn't do anything. It's just a counter used by player_run and player_stand.

[ceriux]

why not just use self.frame and make a self.endframe?

[Ghost_Fang]

well i also tried those a self.frames. and @junrall, i see your point, player_mball5 was suppose to start the loop over at player_mball0, so that was my bad, but it didnt work anyways. Ill take a look at what you posted Baker.
