Whats the conditionstate after constructing?

liger · 03-02-2005, 11:16 PM

I've got a unit moving to a construction site to build something. I've also created a transition starte for moving to actively_constructing. During this time it plays a small animation and then starts constructing playing another animation during its construction phase.

What I'm looking for, is after the building is fully constructed, I want to play the same animation I played during the transitionstate but in reverse once. I know I set the animation mode to:

AnimationMode = ONCE_BACKWARDS

But I don't know waht state comes after a building has finished building. Any assistance?

Make another transition state, going from contructing to NONE, or contructing to MOVING, or both.I assume that a unit would do one or the other of these thing immediately after finishing its task.

Yeah thats what I figured too, got one for moving, one for stand and one for none. All of them dont work, which means theres definitely a state after a unit finishes constructing. You know how it backs away from the building after it finishes it? Anyone knoww hat the state is?

If you open up gamde.dat in notepad/word, and search it for any conditionstate, you will find every other available conditionstate on the same string.Hope that helps.

*Edit actually they are not all in the same string, but they are grouped together.

Hmm slightly helpful. Just dont know what I'm loking for.

I found "actively_constructing" and "construction_completed"

The first is used with structures, cant find any use of the other though.

doh yes I could, I was searching for files named not containing text..but you are using actively_constructing and it works for the mech so the other should I guess

Just gave that a shot then. nope. Just jumps from the construction animation to the unit moving away form the building it just finished building. I do hope what I'm asking is possible. If you can create a transition state from moving to actively_constructing, you'd figure a transition from construction_complete to moving would work., Any others ideas? Anyone?

Have you tried the undocking state?

liger · 03-03-2005, 12:41 AM

Nah undocking sounds like when u send a damaged tank to repair at your war factory. It needs to dock in a special spot. And Undock from it as well. But will try it out anyways

edit. there is no state called undocking. just docking ending

To "Dock" means to unload at a supply center, I think.
