In character, skeleton is automatically joined with mesh. How join skeleton with mesh. I create extend structure. Have mesh, CSkeleton, but i can't move skeleton to mesh. I see skeleton in center of the map and i can move mesh to skeleton but can't move and attach skeleton to mesh.

I don't understand, please try look in tutorials "animation"
if that wont help please paste your codes

Ok i look to tutorials and now i found the solution. Srry fo trouble. My mistake.

1) I have skeleton in my Item. I create it using this code:

Quote:skeleton->create(*obj.skeleton());

Then i wan't to transforme one bone from character skeleton using this skeleton. I use to this transformation that code in Player::update():

Quote: if(inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R].valid())
{
if(OrientP *weapon=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
cskel.clear();
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(cskel.findBoneI("HandL"),Matrix().setPos(weapon->pos)/*.setPosDir(weapon->pos,weapon->perp,weapon->dir)*/,true);
//cskel.updateMatrix(matrix())
//.updateVelocities();
}
}

But this bone from character is in different position than point in my item skeleton.

2) When i draw Item::skeleton i didn't see it with mesh. Did i need transform it manually?

3) Why if i have Item in hand the update function didn't run?

did you look at Bloody Massacre? there's holding items in hand, and adjusting the bones matrixes

I look i have item placed in hand like in BM. But i have skeleton in my ITEM, and i need position of one point in this skeleton to try put second hand in this position. But when i get point position and update Chr::cskel the hand didn't go to the correct position. Hand is placed in different position.

Quote: if(OrientP *weapons=weapon.cskel.findPoint("secondHand"))
{
cskel.clear();
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(cskel.findBoneI("HandR"),Matrix().setPos(weapons->pos),true);
}
cskel.updateMatrix(ctrl.actor.matrix()) // update all matrixes
.updateVelocities(); // update all bone velocities

When i use code to place bullet nothing change. Hand is in the same position.

Ok i made some improvements but i don't know why

Quote:void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(Matrix &body_matrix)

Didn't executed. In BM I didn't found any external code to make it work.

You're missing the const. Same thing happened to me when it got changed.

This work now. But i can't transform Player::cskel HandL to place where Item::skeleton point is. I use this code any advice?

Quote: if(inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R].valid())
{
if(SkelPoint *point33=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
Vec skelPos;
skelPos=point33->pos/**inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled()*/;
cskel.clear();
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(cskel.findBoneI("HandL"),Matrix().setPos(skelPos),true);
}
}

This code is placed in:

Quote:void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(C Matrix &body_matrix)

How to use:

Quote:cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.hand_l,transform,true);

I want to transform position of the bone by position of my point in Item::skeleton. The point is in good position but hand don't want to move to that point why?

Use that code:

Quote: if(SkelPoint *point33=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
skelPos=point33->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
Matrix transform; transform.setPos(skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.hand_l,transform,true);
}

Placed in:

Quote:void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(C Matrix &body_matrix)

paster your full code of void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(C Matrix &body_matrix)
check in debugging if
skelPos=point33->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
Matrix transform; transform.setPos(skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.hand_l,transform,true);

gets executed

Code:

Quote:void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(C Matrix &body_matrix)
{
__super::animateUpdateMatrix(body_matrix); // call default setting skeleton matrix

// now skeleton matrixes are set to their final positions, and we can access their positions and orientations in world space
// we'll use it for inverse kinematics - orienting weapons to face them towards the player looking direction

Vec &desired_dir=cskel.getPoint("head").dir; // this is the desired weapon direction in world space

if(inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_L].valid()) // if has item in left hand
{
if(OrientP *point=cskel.findPoint("HandL"))
{
Vec current_dir=-point->cross(); // this is the current weapon direction in world space
Matrix3 transform; transform.setRotation(current_dir,desired_dir,1); // create matrix which transforms current direction into desired direction
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.arm_lu,transform); // call this method to perform a world space transformation
}
}
if(inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R].valid()) // if has item in right hand
{
if(OrientP *point=cskel.findPoint("HandR"))
{
Vec current_dir=-point->cross(); // this is the current weapon direction in world space
Matrix3 transform; transform.setRotation(current_dir,desired_dir,1); // create matrix which transforms current direction into desired direction
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.arm_ru,transform); // call this method to perform a world space transformation
}
if(SkelPoint *point=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
skelPos=point->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
Matrix transform; transform.setPos(skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.arm_lu,transform,true);
}
}
}

This part of code execute. I attach some screens. Red dot should be placed in skeleton position:

Now i placed red dot in right position. But hand didn't transform to that place.

if(SkelPoint *point=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
skelPos=point->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
Matrix transform; transform.setPos(skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.arm_lu,transform,true);
}

is this causing the error?
'transform' is relative transformation to apply on already animated bone, it's a little bit more complex then set position and expect the bone would go there

This part of code works but transformation that is used there didn't put hand in right position.

Quote:it's a little bit more complex then set position and expect the bone would go there

Any advice, or i have to try all idea i have?
I want make Inverse Kinematics using that function.
