I've recently downloaded the Dragon Age Toolset for machinima making purposes. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm still working out the kinks. I've been practicing some very basic cutscene animations and have been having some problems that I just can't find online.

#1. I've made an area and placed a Waypoint. My module properties are set to the area and waypoint. I then created a trigger and created a script for it. I copied the script from the Wiki and replaced the cutscene with my own. Problem is, when I start up the area in Dragon Age, the trigger doesn't seem to work. My understanding is that when Jaden walks into the trigger, the cutscene should roll, correct? This is not working for some reason. Any ideas?

#2. My other issue is animation transition. Let's say I want my character to run forward, and then crouch. When I do this, the transition from the running animation to the crouch animation is very jumpy and sudden. It's not one, smooth, fluid motion. Am I missing something here?

#3. My third qestion is how to create a custom character to animate during a cutscene. When I click on "create monster" I get the default grey-skinned bald male human. I can change the inventory and give him different armor and weapons, but when I try to change his appearance (skin color, hairstyle, beard) nothing happens. He stays his good old grey-skinned bald self. Am I doing something wrong here? For example, I want to create an old human warrior with a long white beard. How would I go about doing this, so that later I can import him into my cutscene and animate him as I wish?

Thank you all for you help, and be prepared for more questions. I'm fairly new to all this, and slightly overwhelmed, but I really would like to use the Toolset to create machinima.

Glad you're enjoying using the toolset, Jedi31293!



One thing about your first question - make sure you're exporting your script as well as everything else. If you don't properly export, sometimes your scripts/trigger won't fire and you'll end up with a cutscene that doesn't fire.

I can attest to the usefulness of Beerfish's excel documents - I use them as a reference myself! ;)
