Full list of Motion Tags

Telliamed on 29/5/2002 at 04:38

Here's the list of motion tags and their descriptions that I've put together. A prettier version is available at (http://whoopdedo.cjb.net/thief/motions.xhtml)

I began with the info posted by schwaa in (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46706) this thread. Previous lists have been posted by (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15575) Spanker, and (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15837) Thumper.

Some of them don't seem to have any effect. BellPull doesn't seem to do anything different, so I suspect it wasn't included in T2. I haven't tested any in TDP yet.

Thanks, telliamed!

Even more motions for completeness sake, but possibly the coolest of all. ;) These ones are in T2 only, not TTDP or TG. They're probably left over from SS2.

// Stationary
Player 0, idlegesture
Player 0, stand
Player 0, stand, leaningleft
Player 0, stand, leaningright
Player 0, crouching
Player 0, locomote, climbing // Plays the ladder climbing motion, no vertical movement.
Player 0, mantle // Uses arms to pull up. No vertical movement.

// Movement
Player 0, locomote, direction 1 // Strafe Left
Player 0, locomote, direction 2 // Strafe Right
Player 0, locomote, direction 3 // Forward
Player 0, locomote, direction 4 // Backward
Player 0, locomote, locourgent // Run forward. No other directions work.
Player 0, locomote, crouching // Move forward while crouched. No other directions work.

//Jumps
Player 0, jumping // Vertical hop
Player 0, jumping, direction 3 // Forward, about 2 units.
Player 0, jumping, direction 4 // Backward
Player 0, jumping, locourgent, direction 3 // Slightly further forward, covers about 4 units.

Some of those look like they only affect the hands and/or head. Could they be applied to a sitting AI to make it look alive?

Telliamed on 30/5/2002 at 05:17

Completeness is good.

The only part of garret visible in-game is the arm when using a weapon or carrying a body; and that has a specialized and limited range of motions. The generic "player" motions would have been used in network play. You can get another AI to use them by assigning him the Motions\ActorTagList "Player 0"

Actually, the "Player 0" portion of SilentSleep's list is superflous and ignored in the Play Sound/Motion function. Just that you need to have the ActorTag set correctly for some of them to work. (the SpecialAttack, for instance, only works for 'WithSword, Hammer', for instance)

Wow... I never realized how ridiculous I look when crouching!

SilentSleep on 30/5/2002 at 10:24

Actually, the "Player 0" portion of SilentSleep's list is superflous

Only if you put Player 0 into the ActorTagList as you said, and if you only want to get an AI to crouch briefly during a conversation, you won't want to.

If you tell an AI to play an idlegesture, they'll do the gesture defined by the ActorTagList, (an apebeast has a different idlegesture to a human, but it's still called idlegesture). The Player 0 at the start forces them to play the motion from that group instead.

Sweet,
copied/pasted...

YcatX on 22/8/2002 at 23:19

Where do I find the definitions?

I mean.. What is avalible to use as combat motions? For example, withSword?

Telliamed on 23/8/2002 at 07:11

They would be in the motion schema files.... If we had them.

An updated version of the list I first posted can be found at (http://snow.prohosting.com/tomfool/thief/motions.xhtml) Although I still can't guarantee accuracy. It has the actor tags, which I omitted before.

The motions used with WithSword are mostly going to be the generic Humanoid motions, but a few are different. Only a few things such as WorldFrob where you don't want the actor to cut his own legs off are specified for that tag. The biggest changes in motion tags are for the non-humanoid actors. (Make a guard do a pirouette with 'Treebease, Treelike, Stand')

Anyway, all you really have to do is experiment. If you can manage to get an AI to move like you want him to, just thank the Gods of Dromed and don't question why it works.

Thanks telliamed! :thumb:
I love these reference files..makes using DromED soooo much easier.
