Level Design How to pose the bodies in SDK?
- Thread starter gunpowderfans
- Start date
You can only do that in UE4.
For RO2 (UE3) you have the export the model, pose them in 3DS Max, then import them back.

- Place the DebugPosePlayer
- In its properties select which Faction you want (Axis or Allies)
- Then select the Pose you want (Standing, Prone, Crouched, etc...)
- Select the weapon you want
- Launch the level and in console type 'SpawnPosedPlayers'
- Enjoy the scene
Many (if not all) of the stock maps have these placed, you can try it on them
Note: When using this on a mod that "extends" a gametype, the extended gametype's pawns are used. So when I did it on a HOTW map, I get US and Japanese players
Sample:
Spoiler!

This in combination with properly posed models would be awesome. And I know just the guy to talk to. The game Type picking RS uniforms can be worked around by reskinning the RS uniforms. At least rifleman. Weapons are another thing. Seems you can only pick SMG or Rifle. Which I assume for Americans is the Springfield and Thompson.

Speaking of which I wonder how the whole mouth and face effects thing is coming along. Because if you can maybe ajust it, you can make it look like a person is shouting.

Hasn't progressed for 2 reasons. Firstly it's a metric Buttload of work and secondly we have no idea what effect it'll have on RAM usage. Or performance for that matter. Though I don't think it'll effect the latter much.

Well, I would be willing to look at it. I am not saying I will do it, because it is probably waaaaayyyy beyond me, but if it is just tedious then maybe. Do you know what program I would need to try?

PosedPlayer isn't a good idea because the pawn types are hardcoded:
And you're limited to a set amount of poses.
Whereas using the import method you can make your own!
Code:
function string GetPawnType(bool bIsRS)
{
switch( PawnType )
{
case Pawn_Axis: return bIsRS ? "RSGameContent.RSAxisPawnSNLFLevel1Assault" : "ROGameContent.ROAxisPawnLevel1Assault";
case Pawn_Allies: return bIsRS ? "RSGameContent.RSAlliedPawnArmyLevel1AutomaticRifleman" : "ROGameContent.ROAlliedPawnLevel1Assault";
}
}Whereas using the import method you can make your own!

Not to mention you can extract animations use them to make a pose then reimport everything.

Yes you can get much better poses with the export/import method, but I imagine the time required is a bit higher?

Once you got everything set up it's pretty fast.
And yup, you can do things that are impossible otherwise:

Don't worry, for all you non-ninjas out there I created my own RODebugPosedPlayer that you can place on your map!
Left is old DebugPosedPlayer, right is new.
It now has a LOT more flexibility and options. You can even put RO2 models on RS maps, and vice versa!
I think I can also make it work with custom pawns like HOTW and Aufmarsch, but I'm not sure.
