Animating

3. LoadAnimSeq LoadAnimSeq( Model, fileName$ ) Example Code:
Model = LoadAnimMesh(“Model.b3d”)
WalkAnimation = LoadAnimSeq(Model,”Walk.b3d”)

4. Animate Animate model[,mode][,speed#][,sequence][,transition#]
Example Code:
Model = LoadAnimMesh(“Model.b3d”)
WalkAnimation = LoadAnimSeq(Model,”Walk.b3d”)
Animate Model or
Animate Model,3,1,WalkAnimation,0

5. SetAnimTime SetAnimTime model, time#[,animationSeq] Use:
You can make a time loop in your code to manually animate a model.

6. AnimTime AnimTime# (model) Use:
Returns the current time of the animation

7. AnimLength AnimLength (model) Use:
Returns the length of the current animation
Problem:
You must be playing the animation

8. AnimSeq AnimSeq( model ) Use:
This function can be used to check if the current animation sequence is playing or has been played last.
Problem:
If your animation sequence stops playing, the AnimSeq still returns that sequence (can’t check if it is still in play)

9. Animating Animating( model ) Use:
This function can be used to check if the current model is animating
Combine this w/ AnimSeq to check if a particular animation sequence has stopped playing

10. SetAnimKey SetAnimKey model, frame Use:
If you have a number of animations and you want to record them or create a new animation using the current few that you have

11. AddAnimSeq AddAnimSeq (model, length) Use:
When you are done setting the animation keys, you can use this command to put what you recorded into an animation to play back later.
Example:
For frame=1 To 10
SetAnimKey model, frame
Next
AnimSequence = AddAnimSeq(model,frame-1)

12. ExtractAnimSeq ExtractAnimSeq(model,first_frame,last_frame) Use:
If you have a animation that has multiple animations in it such as walk, run, idle. You can use this command to break up the original animation into multiple sequences
Example:
model = LoadAnimMesh(filename$)
walkAnimSeq = ExtractAnimSeq( model, 0, 30)
idleAnimSeq = ExtractAnimSeq( model, 31, 40)
Animate model,1,1,idleAnimSeq

13. 3D Math
VectorYaw
VectorPitch

14. VectorYaw VectorPitch
VectorYaw# (x#, y#, z#)
Returns the yaw value of a vector
VectorPitch
VectorPitch# (x#, y#, z#)
Returns the pitch value of a vector
