Documentation/Engine/Mover model group

Mover model group is a new mover definition unit. Idea of this new unit is to have a system which can easily combine compabible models and animations. The main use is for characters to remove the need of definition for every combination of models and animations. Moreover these mover groups can use props in separate models and easily "skin" them to specific bones.

The whole system consists of four units:

Contents

Mover desc

Unit mover_desc represents model and it's data. It is located in /base/def/world/mover_desc.sii.

mover_desc : mover_desc.worker_3 {
    model_desc: "/model/mover/characters/new_generation/new/models/man/worker_vest/worker_vest_nemiro_lod0.pmd"

    lods[0]: "/model/mover/characters/new_generation/new/models/man/worker_vest/worker_vest_nemiro_lod1.pmd"
    lods[1]: "/model/mover/characters/new_generation/new/models/man/worker_vest/worker_vest_nemiro_lod2.pmd"
    lods[2]: "/model/mover/characters/new_generation/new/models/man/worker_vest/worker_vest_lod3.pmd"
	
    lod_distances[0]: 10
    lod_distances[1]: 30
    lod_distances[2]: 90

    group_tags[]: human
    group_tags[]: man
    group_tags[]: cauca
    group_tags[]: worker
}

Properties:

• model_desc Model descriptor.

    group_tags[]: human
    group_tags[]: man
    group_tags[]: sweeper
