hi all

well, i just loaded a milkshape (.ms3d) into irrlicht and animated it, but when i printf the model end frame it shows about 120000 frames

but the animation should have 120 (in milkshape)
ok, the program takes some time to load and if i set the speed for something like 60000 it plays well, but i dont know if its normal..

if someone can aswer me, thanks!

Yeah,thats definitely not what we call normal. You may want to check how your saving it or how your model is set up. Or maybe its an issue with irrlicht, but thats never happened with me.

You should use the new animation system of Irrlicht 1.4beta. Older versions used a factor to interpolate the integral frame numbers. Now the animation system uses floats and you can use the normal frame numbers.

hi!
thanks alot for the reply, but actually i really want to know how to make these models animate/move for eg. i have an ms3d model of a man and i want to animate him/move him/control his movements...

Well your answer is simple

Code: Select all

player_node->setFrameLoop(0, 10);

The First Variable Within the brackets represents the first frame wished to be displayed and the second the last frame. And its constantly looped. Its in some of the really early tutorials
