Weapon Models "select/deselect" rotation no good..

[Viper]

I'm doing 3d weapons finally, but this rotation of the model downwards during deselect and upward during select is no good, I have an arm attached to the weapon and so it can't be rotated. I really don't see how this is to be used, unless there's no arms or hands?

Using TNT1 A 1 A_Lower/etc, it can be hidden until ready but I'd like them to be raised and lowered like sprites are (without rotation).

Would love to hear there's some flag I can set..

Yes, seems for some reason, the model drawer is coded such that the PSprite's X and Y offset becomes ROTATION when drawn as a model, and not actually X/Y translation.

Would love to know why this was done... some legacy reason... ?

Thanks for the reply, weapon bobbing is also using rotation instead of translation...

[Viper]

The bobbing is some what tolerable but,

This is also affected.. (does not offset the position, only the rotation)

This should be in the bugs thread I suppose..


I had a look in the source for gzDoom, I found some references to bobbing but nothing about rotation..

Look into usage of the A_Lower and A_Raise functions, and animate the lowering and raising manually.
