Author | Topic: Laras switching animation isn't working correctly!!!!!!
tomb raider fan Member Posts: 665 From:England, Sheffield Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 06-03-2002 01:09 PM When ever there is a switch in my level lara doesn't pull the switch. I press the action button to pull the switch but she just stands there and after about 2 seconds the switch goes down? Whats gone wrong? IP: Logged

I am sorry if the above is not specific to your problem, perhaps someone else may have an answer. IP: Logged
tomb raider fan Member Posts: 665 From:England, Sheffield Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 06-03-2002 02:01 PM Nah it ain't the 10 slots free thing. I just started my level today and only have a 3 objects in ( Excluding the Puzzles, Enemies and guns ). What should i try? IP: Logged
Data Moderator Posts: 1723 From:Omicron Theta science colony Registered: May 2001 | posted 06-03-2002 02:19 PM Hmm curious, This does seem indefinable, however, are we talking about the 'push' lever switch (like the one in tut1) or the jump switch?. If it is the lever switch as mentioned above, then I am unsure, however if it is the jump switch, it is required to be at least 7 clicks above the floor. IP: Logged
tomb raider fan Member Posts: 665 From:England, Sheffield Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 06-03-2002 02:42 PM Both! in my level so far is nearly every kind of switch ( Push switch, Lever Switch: one in the Library WAD, Jump switch from the city wad and the reach in hole switch from the settomb WAD ). When i press action on all of the switches, Lara just stands there and after about 2 seconds the door opens. Hmm. Strange ??????Ne Ideas?????? IP: Logged

It does sound like you might have started with an unrevised wad. And as you transferred switches to the wad, the Lara animations of course did not come with them. IP: Logged
guardianofseth Member Posts: 118 From:Jakarta,Indonesia Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 06-03-2002 10:05 PM Do you have a trigger for the switch on the same box as the switch? If that so, the switch could be triggered by Lara standing on the Trigger box, instead of her using the switch to trigger. I hope you understand what I'm talking about. I'm pretty bad at English, especially when it comes to describing. IP: Logged
tomb raider fan Member Posts: 665 From:England, Sheffield Registered: Dec 2000 | posted 06-04-2002 03:10 AM Ahhh, I fixed the problem: When i was building my WAD in my TRWEST i used all of the Coastal wad animations. And as you no the Coastal wad doesn't have any switches in of any kind. So i rebuild my wad and inserted the City WAD animations and then when i tested my level the animations for the switches worked. Thanks NeWay IP: Logged

It was because I replace in a wrong hole i replaced as a puzzle hole for that the animation didnīt work. You can check that if you replace that level. did you triger it as switch? itīs very important to do that if you are doing a lever switch. bye! IP: Logged
