Animation when typing in MP?

[Botdra]

Howdy. I was wanting to see if I could make a mod that implemented an animation (or at least a post) when you are typing something in the chat in MP. Is it possible? How easy would it be? I'd just be using a base animation really, just want to know if it's possible and how to do it. Cheers!

This sounds like it could be done using some code. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to do. I should have some free time tonight or tomorrow in which I'll try to look into this for you.

Thanks man, that would be great.

Untested, but give it a try and see if it works:

 

In bg_pmove.c under

	// set the talk balloon flag
	if ( pm->cmd.buttons & BUTTON_TALK ) {
		pm->ps->eFlags |= EF_TALK;
	} else {
		pm->ps->eFlags &= ~EF_TALK;
	}

Add

if ( pm->ps->eFlags & EF_TALK )
		PM_SetAnim(SETANIM_TORSO,BOTH_STAND1,SETANIM_FLAG_OVERRIDE, 100);

 

 

Replacing the "ANIM" with the animation you want.
