[Solved] Move Speed from Animation

[Roland]

Hi

 

I want to calculate the move speed of an animated character.

My simple first approach was to measure the distance between the feets

 

TVec3 lPos = EntityPosition( _leftFoot, 1);
TVec3 rPos = EntityPosition( _rightFoot, 1);
_curSpeed = fabs(lPos.Z-rPos.Z); // calculated speed

 

That kind of works but the character will move in a (jagged?) manner.

I know someone of you have done this calculation but can't remember who.

 

Anyone?

Curve the fabs to eliminate jagging.

Meta... .somethings things are more easy than what meets the eye.

Of course that works. I was thinking to complicated.

 

Thanks
