8th Oct 2005, 08:11 PM	Walking animation #1
Salvatore Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 12 Thanks: 2 in 1 Posts	Is there any way to extract the walking animation and make a new object to where the sim walks a certain way to a certain point? It may sound a little confusing but I am attempting to create a "catwalk" walk to create a fashion show. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If by extracting the walking animation, you mean so you can view a existing one in a program like Milkshape and then alter it. I`m not sure what state the SimPE feature for this is in. I do know Quaxi started to work on it.

As for then being able to use this new animation on a sim, yes you can do that. The movement animations of a sim can be changed (and then changed back if needed), a example of this is the swimming pool. When a sim goes swimming its locomotion animations are changed to be ones of it swimming, and then when the sim gets out of the pool they are changed back to walking. I can't remember what the BHAV's are for changing these but first of all you would need to make the animations, if I remember correctly there are about 12 locomotion animations which are used when a sim moves, so you would need 12 new animations. They cover things like walking, stopping, turning etc.

Like the pool, would it be possible to create an object or something like it that when in a certain area, the sims perform a certain way? Something along the lines of creating a tiled area like the pool.

When they turn they pose, and then they turn. and when they watch the sky they pose while laying down. you should get the rest. All of the movements should be graceful!!!!! I would Rock!

Put a chair on the ground near the stairs. Now sit a boyfriend of a romance sim in the chair. At the other end, stage your romance sim with 'go here'. Then click 'kiss' on the boyfriend and watch her walk.

Otherwise, those modders (I don't mod!) can create a new option in the pie menu where 'Go here' is and add the animation from Squidge's mod and call it 'Catwalk here'. Just a suggestion!

That sim will now walk like they're a model any place you tell them to. If you really want an item... the Walkstyle and Facial Animation changer is perfect. I have it, but I can't seem to find where I got it from.. sorry.
