Floor sitting and sleeping animation

[Fidcal]

Floor sitting and sleeping animation was mentioned recently and the possibility of making new ones. I've just come across a zombie in an FM that lies on the floor then gets up if you go near just like in Thief. This is already released. I didn't know we had this. Scared the hell out of me. Just seems to me that this could be adapted for general use by AI to sleep and sit on the floor. This zombie sat up from a lying position and then stood up from there so perhaps it does not need much more for other AI?

 

I only mention this in case anyone is starting afresh to create animations without knowing we already have something to build on.

Your memory is going. You even posted in the thread where I first announced it.

I wish I could forget half the development stuff I know sometimes...I'd like to be surprised by some things too.

The zombies do not use the same animations as other characters, so this can't be used for anything else. Hopefully we'll get such animations for our humanoid characters, however, and now it will be easy for mappers to swap them with greebo's new code changes.

yeah my memory really is going. Earlier today someone asked me to send them something by email. I got it ready and sent the email and forgot to attach it. I quickly realized my mistake and sent another email with the zip attached. He emailed back that the zip was empty! D'oh! To cap it all when I then sent it again, triple checked, it bounced back from gmail because it had .exe files in a zip! Had to change the suffixes. Maybe I'll forget to post this...
