Gaulish Gaming Banquet: editor

Does anyone know why these animated characters break? It seems to happen to only a select few ones, like the eagle or the seagull :Obelul:

So far the only reason I figured out is that when the animated node is visible while the character is inactive, so you're not in the right sector, it can sometimes corrupt

what a mess

mr.rubinshtein

looks interesting

My best guess is it's because the character's pose (bone positions+rotations) is not initialized properly, so it's just random garbage.

adrientd

And only way to initialize it properly is to start an animation.

Adrien, when duplicating hooks, why do you set the unk1 of the life to 0?

adrientd

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

adrientd

I don't remember :Obelul:

pegperegogaucho

Oh okay, I see

pegperegogaucho

Because I just found out it causes problems with saving. I had a pool with one enemy and as soon as the enemy despawned, it would set the "nextLife" of the duplicated life to itself, creating an infinite loop. Whenever you then wanted to save, the game would freeze because it loops through all the lifes. Setting it to 1 seemed to fix the issue thank god :PogelixOkay:

pegperegogaucho

What are the lives for anyways? So far they seem to be used to loop through all the enemies and call the update function? Because once I somehow messed up and created a situation where the life references were overlapping and the enemies were like on 2x speed :Obelul:

adrientd

Oh, yeah honestly didn't know that, looks like that bit is important.

adrientd

And yes, lives classes are very strange. It seems the devs wanted to separate the code that updates and "brings life" to the hook into a separate class. Maybe they planned something, but it turns out to be useless and overengineered as it could just be done in the hook and maybe there was no benefit.

adrientd

I guess they already found life classes to be useless as only a few use them, and in XXL2 and onwards they no longer exist.

another easter egg :D LVL070 triggers

pegperegogaucho

They left it in on purpose for the users of the XXL-Editor

adrientd

So I guess it is an invisible bridge?

wavynavy04

i was wondering if there was a way to export all models/assets or a quick way to find them all through the editor, for context Im trying to get the httyd wii game assets

deathhound246

You can export from the scene graph in one go. Main issue tho i think is it all exports as 1 object iirc Adrien would know better tho

deathhound246

There is an invis bridge in the level, using the mad hatters ability to fix it
