New Animations and Setting Keys

[Merrie]

I have a character with a new animation, its fly. How would I set a key (assign the animation to a key) so she could use the fly animation? Thank you all for being kind about answering its helping me quite abit.

i did add a action to E witch is a spinkick for my character. The problem i am facing is that when i press the E key quickly it doesnt run the whole animation. If i hold down the E key it loops the animation. But the setup is quite easy.

In input.cfg

you make a new ACTION called Fly
You then add a KeyMapping KeyE Fly

Now you need to add an animation in the characters opr file.

Add LoadAnimation Fly fly.FBX  (this is a separate animation file, you could use time instead if you have all animations bakes)

Now, in the character.gsl file (controller file) you add a line where you see the movement code

if (event == "Input")
   {
      if (params.stringValue == "Forward")
      {
         forwardPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
      if (params.stringValue == "Backward")
      {
         backwardPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }
Just go to the end and add

if (params.stringValue == "Fly")
      {
         FlyPressed = params.floatValue;
         return true;
      }

I am probably missing something here at the end but I am at work now.

But this should work like this now.

When pressing E the keymapping starts the action Fly. This means that params.stringvalue is turned on and the animation in the opr that is called Fly will start.

This is probably not the whole truth but I think it should work
