Equipment attaching

I'm also thinking about composite models: afaik, in Crysis different enemies was constructed in such way, with different legs/bodies and so on.

But how easy it would be to animate?

i dont know because i have never tried it personally... my modeling/animation skills right now are making a cube bounce up and down

he-he

 

Okay, looking like, a choise with composite model is the best as is solves both questions

In that post i was talking about something like this

TVec3 restPos = EntityPosition( m_handRest, 1);
       TVec3 handPos = EntityPosition( m_handTrigger, 1);
       float diffx = handPos.X - restPos.X;
       float diffy = handPos.Y - restPos.Y;
       float diffz = handPos.Z - restPos.Z;
       AlignToVector( m_entity, Vec3(diffx,diffy,diffz),3 );

       TVec3 pos = EntityPosition(m_entity,1);
       trigPos = EntityPosition(m_triggerBone,1);
       diffx = pos.X - trigPos.X;
       diffy = pos.Y - trigPos.Y;
       diffz = pos.Z - trigPos.Z;

       trigPos = EntityPosition( m_handTrigger, 1);
       trigPos.X += diffx;
       trigPos.Y += diffy;
       trigPos.Z += diffz;
       PositionEntity(m_entity, trigPos, 1);

thats ok... i think i will just stick with 3 lines of code...
