Do walkers support a 'jump' animation

[TheJamsh]

Per title^

This is mainly for the four-legged thing that VSMIT's making for Serenesis

I know the Gorgon supports it in G66. I don't remember your Gorgons doing that when I tested the Berserk aips.

gorgon? Gorgon is an assault tank :-/

tracked vehicles can't jump.

[ScarleTomato]

no the gorgon is that wide mauler thing with the shield. It's an fv_walker class? I remember it jumping but i don't remeber it having a specific animation associated with it, it just kinda went up.

IIRC it used to jump because in one of the earlier betas it had trouble getting over hills. 'twas a temporary fix, and it no longer can jump.

Confusion between Cerberi Gorgon and Scion Gorgon, I think, they're very different things.

[mrtwosheds]

No they don't. They can jump but just use the walk anim as they do it, which looks weird.
Good tweaking of the right parameters though can make them climb hills.

lots of thrust

[Nielk1]

I plan a jumping walker for something with animation but the scene I have it doing it is so utterly complex I am going to have to script it all anyway.

Think of walker jumps as bursts of jump thrust, then walking in the air doesn't look so odd.

[AHadley]

I think that scene would look like something straight out of an action movie. In fact, when I imagine it I see it from inside an FPS engine

[Nielk1]

Well It's jumping though a brick wall so...

[TheJamsh]

Arc Mod much ?

Might be seeing a lot of animated scenes in my mod too... i like to do things big...
