Hello,

Is there a functionnality that I missed to equip an item mesh on a slot (of a player mesh) within the editor to be able to place it precisely, and monitor the behaviour/collision while animations are played ?

If not, would it be possible to implement it ?
The only way to perform it currently is by modifying the item position in the editor and recompile/launch the client until having result ... Per item. (!)
It's a pain

Thanks !

I know what you're saying, I've hit this problem myself. Until I nticed I was indeed missing something:

Take the armor for example. In the armor's object editor, under the BODY section, you can drag and drop the character you want your armor on. Then you will see your character and you can place the armor on him precisely, but the character won't be part of the object. He's just there for orientation.

Was that what you meant?

Yes that's it, many thanks, Andrew

I have a question, when I drop my human mesh as body on my sword item, the sword geometry is modified (scale/position/orientation).
When you try to correct it, you got a pop-up :
"This object is interpreted as cloth/armor to a different object (body).
Therefore, you cannot transform it.
Please transform the body object for this cloth."

Isn't weird that the item proporties cannot be modified, but it's the body ones that should be ?
In my opinion, it should be the opposit :/
The item must be transformed according to the body... Don't you think ?


EDIT: It's curious, because when I drag and drop esenthel's warrior mesh as body of the club item... The club has a very different scale from the warrior's one.
Yet when it is used in the Esenthel MMO source code, it works.
I don't get it

I haven't looked into that, so I'm not sure I can help.

The sword however, is not a mesh, so I didn't bother with adding a body to it. It is just placed with the sword's origin coordinates in the slot of the character's hand. No need for meshes there.
No idea about the mace issue, can't help there, I've only been working on some minimalist functionality for my game so far, i never went into much detail.

Hi,

For the Body you should use only wearable items (like cloth/armor) which has skinning (assignment to each bone per vertex), other items (sword) shouldn't use this.

Okay.
Then, would it be possible to have a new tab in the mesh editor allowing to set the geometry around a given slot ?

Did you try drag and dropping an object to the slot?

Of course not, there's no indication anywhere about that !!
Yet i'm satisfied to know that a feature that my twisted mind came up with is already implemented
Thanks
