Using Animations | Tutorial for noobs

The Guide

First, lets learn how to load, check if available, use, and release anims

Before you can use an anim, you must first load the file its in

{See this fantastic list by Seemann: http://public.sannybuilder.com/anim/SAAnims.txt }

For example, If I wanted to use CAR_HOOKERTALK , I would load the file called PED


Now lets look at how we load an anim file:

CODE

04ED: load_animation "PED"

Like models, we must check if it is available:

CODE

04EE: animation "PED" loaded

Now were ready to use the anim with anim opcodes:

CODE

0605: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR perform_animation_sequence "CAR_HOOKERTALK" IFP_file "PED" 4.0 loop 1 0 0 0 time -1 // versionA

With the values in the opcode above, the actor will perform the anim forever, as its on a loop

So what about If you dont want the actor to perform it for ever? Simply:

CODE

0605: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR perform_animation_sequence "CAR_HOOKERTALK" IFP_file "PED" 4.0 loop 0 0 0 0 time 10000 // versionA

Now, the actor will perform the anim for ten seconds then stop


Now, lets say you finished, we must now release it:

CODE

04EF: release_animation "PED"

Notes/Trivia

- Like models, multiple anim files can be loaded at the same time
- Anims are .ifp files. The .ifp extension is irrelevant to using the anims

You can also use:

CODE

0812: AS_actor -1 perform_animation "LRGIRL_IDLELOOP" IFP_file "LOWRIDER" 4.0 loopA 0 lockX 0 lockY 0 lockF 0 time -1 // versionB

and

CODE

0A1A: actor 88@ perform_animation "HIKER_POSE_L" IFP_file "MISC" 4.0 loopA 0 lockX 0 lockY 0 lockF 1 -1 ms // versionC

Search in the net for 3D MAX tutorials. Its pointless to create a modeling tuto for GTA. You need to read 3D MAx tutorials to know how to model. And then use GTA Tutos to put that model in GTA.
