So I'm trying to have this piece of cloth hanging on my piping. It's ported from BO2, and is an fxanim, as you can see in the image. My question is, how can I make it appear ingame? Is it possible to just turn it into a xmodel? As it currently is it's there in Radiant, but not visible ingame.

maybe could be cleaner but working for me right now.

an animtree file that has the name of your xanim in it

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using_animtree( "animated_props" );

it is in my mod folder under animtrees/animated_props

its contents

Code Snippet

Plaintext

elevator_open
elevator_opened
elevator_close
elevator_closed
light_sway_1
tree_sway
tree_pot_sway

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_utility; 
#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#using_animtree( "animated_props" );

animated_models_init()
{

	level.wind_lights = getEntArray("wind_lights","targetname");
	trees = getEntArray("windy_tree","targetname");
	potted_trees = getEntArray("windy_pot_tree","targetname"); 
 

	array_thread(level.wind_lights, :: sway);
	array_thread(trees, :: tree_sway);
	array_thread(potted_trees, :: tree_sway_potted);

}

tree_sway_potted()
{
	self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
	wait randomFloat(3);
	while(1)
	{
	self animscripted( "animation_end", self.origin, self.angles, %tree_pot_sway);
	self waittill( "animation_end", end );
	}
}


tree_sway()
{
	self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
	wait randomFloat(2);
	while(1)
	{
	self animscripted( "animation_end", self.origin, self.angles, %tree_sway);
	self waittill( "animation_end", end );
	}
}

sway()
{
	self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
	wait randomFloat(3);
	while(1)
	{
	self animscripted( "animation_end", self.origin, self.angles, %light_sway_1);
	self waittill( "animation_end", end );
	}
}

also it has to be a script model

Does the image need to be in your mod folder to see it in game

Well I'm assuming you made that with a patch and not an xmodel then. If they have an anim then you would want to port the model for it as well and do what jei said - though I haven't read through his script. If you strictly just want the patch to show up in game I bet that the light mapping is messed up on it. So press Shift + L to go into light mapping mode, select the patch and press S. Then choose lightmap or natural based on which looks best (you dont want it to stretch or tile too much).

This cloth is an xmodel. I ported it using lime, and converted it exactly like every other model I converted. I'll have to try out the animscript for it tomorrow, but yes.
