Models And Animations

Kester

i want to have the skulk model in me level with it lying on its back dead, theres an animation with it dying and landing on its back, so is it possible to put it into my map, so it looks like its on an examination table?

To use models in your level, you use the cycler entity. It is pretty straight forward and if you have Hammer 3.5b then you will be able to see the model in the editor.

I don't think you can freeze it on one frame though (not even sure if you can select an animation). So your best bet is to use something like Milkshape 3d and load up the model with the animation you want - then edit it to wh....ON SECOND THOUGHTS - if you don't know how to do the model part (which isn't a bad thing) I'd get someone to do it for you. It can be quite tricky decompiling models and then recompiling with new a .qc file etc.

If you go to the modelling forum you might be able to get someone to give you a dead skulk model..that might save you time..

P.S - The mapping guidelines state that you should stear clear of gore (blood, guts, bodies etc)...it may limit your ability for your map to become official...
