You can use a func_animate to have it play an idle loop.

Hello VanishedOne,

 

I have the same problem. How would I use the func_animate?

 

1. Insert horse

2. Change "horse class(:)" to animated prop...?

3. Target horse with func_animate...?

4. ...what to set in func_animate?

 

The horses in HHI do have less space compared to my new WIP, but it did not lead to errors.

 

BTW, thank you very much for the hint with the tilted rotating entity. I do not understand the setup, but it works perfectly. :)

func_animate is the class for the horse. (Internally, the animated prop classes use the same code as func_animate; they're just already set up to be a flag or banner or whatever.) You make a func_animate, assign a horse model (e.g. "model" "horse_tame5") and set "start_anim" "idle" to play an idle loop after spawning.

 

(N.B. The animated horse will be nonsolid.)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
