In Redcliff and Lothering the windmills rotate and in Redcliff the waterwheel rotates. I don't see any fx for this in the level files for those towns or in the fx lists in the toolset. Does anybody know how to make these rotate?

Thanks!

Rotation would be an animation, not FX. That would mean you'd have to place them in the area editor like other placeables (doors, etc.), not in the level editor .

Thanks for the tip - that gave me an idea where to look.



It looks like you put an animation in, but you do it through the Level Editor, not the Area Editor. You attach the animation to the model in the level editor through the Default Animation field in the models Object Properties. In the case of the windmill it's wind.



Anyone want to do an animation tutorial for the wiki. :-)

Yeah, its supposed to be in the level editor. Simple way to figure out how to do things is download the source files for levels here and look at how Bioware did it. You can see rotating windmills built into the level of places like Lothering.

In fact, those files are useful for pretty much ANYTHING, from design, to lighting placement/style, how to create a cool-looking cave etc. If you haven't downloaded those already and taken a look at them, DO IT!

Turns out the default animations are:



Windmill - wind

Waterwheel - Turn



Thanks to DarthParametric for the suggestion that led me to the animations.

Ah, interesting. I didn't think you could add animations in the level editor. I thought all animated statics had to be placeables and thus had to be added in the area editor. I assume this applies to any animated non-interactive model? Defiantly worth putting the info on the wiki in the level editor section.

that's just lowercase 'wind' right? No special dashes or spaces? Can I preview this animation in the level editor or do I have to export and test in game?

[Obadiah]

Is there something else I need to do besides putting "wind" in the DefaultAnimation property? I added it to an fhec_windmillwhl_0 model, and it won't turn. I also added a Wind object just for good measure.

no, just type the word within the defaultAnim field. that only works with the appropriate props. those little boats also have one. just type boat and they will behave like a boat at sea.

Hmm... I had to export it from Single Player to get it to work. Oh well.
