Changing Surface Skin in a 3D model????

[edypagaza]

Hi, i want to know if is possible to change the texture of a 3d model

[ramon.dexter]

Yes, it is possible.

If you want more elaborate answer, specify your question.

[edypagaza]

i mean, during gameplay with acs
after a 3d zombie dies by fire, change his texture to a black one, i dont want to spawn a new actor as burned zombie

[ramon.dexter]

No need to involve acs at all. This could be done purely in modeldef.

So, lets say you have sprites for normal, like ZOMB A 0. Then, you have sprite for the burning death, something like ZOBD A 0. In this case you just have to define it like this in modeldef:

Code: Select all

model zombie {
//normal frames
        path "models/zombie/"
	model 0 "zombie.md3"
	skin 0 "zombie_normal.png"
        frameindex ZOMB A 0 0

//now the burning frames
        skin 0 "zombie_burned.png"
        frameindex ZOBD A 0 0
}

Basically, you have to re-define the skin before the burning frames, then define the actual frames and you're done.

but without changing the frame, just the surface skin

Not possible. However, you might want to take a look at either Renderstyle (for pure black, use STYLE_Stencil along with black StencilColor), or a Translation that allows you to recolor the skin to give a burnt effect (my TRNSLATE entry is

Code: Select all

Burned = "0:255=#[70,44,29]"

)

And how do you want to make a burned death without a frame? Sorry, but what you want is impossible.

this is what i was looking for
i can change translation via acs
thanks

Can also be done in DECORATE/Zscript via A_SetTranslation.

this is what i done with acs and a door

I'd like to piggyback on this thread.

I have a 3D model of a computer console with a monitor. The console uses three different Surfaceskins and the monitor uses a fourth. Using an 80 Script Line I want to trigger the monitor screen to change to another texture while a warning is played. I have a script that plays my sound when the script is run. I've been able to get the screen texture to swap using MODELDEF and DECORATE as below:

(But it's not what I want)
(How can I trigger the FrameIndex from A to B in the script?)
(is there something in DECORATE "Spawn" that can be triggered instead of on a time loop?)

Model monitor1
{
Path "Models"
Model 0 "monitor1.obj"
SurfaceSkin 0 0 "blinkyra.png"
SurfaceSkin 0 1 "strim.png"
SurfaceSkin 0 2 "cpmoxl1.png"
SurfaceSkin 0 3 "popprss1.png"
Scale 1.0 1.0 1.2
USEACTORPITCH
USEACTORROLL

FrameIndex MDCA A 0 0
SurfaceSkin 0 3 "popprss2.png"
FrameIndex MDCA B 0 0
}
=======================
ACTOR monitor1 15075
{
//$Category Models
//$Title monitor1
//$Color 3
Radius 16
Height 32
Mass 20
+SOLID
+NOGRAVITY
+DONTTHRUST
+NOBLOOD
States
{
Spawn:
MDCA A 30
MDCA B 30
Loop
}}
=============================
SCRIPT 3 (VOID)
{
PlaySound (157, "CPGSLKST", CHAN_BODY, 0.25, false, ATTN_NORM, false);
}

Nevermind All,

Found a thread right after I posted with a solution from Enjay. SwitchableDecoration solved my issue! Then just add Thing_Activate to the script. Changes monitor texture from one to the other.

Any one have something better?

ACTOR monitor1 : SwitchableDecoration 15075
{
//$Category Models
//$Title monitor1
//$Color 3
Radius 16
Height 32
Mass 20
+SOLID
+NOGRAVITY
+DONTTHRUST
+NOBLOOD
States
{
Spawn:
goto Inactive +1
Inactive:
MDCA A 1
MDCA B -1
Stop
Active:
MDCA A -1
MDCA B 1
Stop
}}
=======================
SCRIPT 3 (VOID)
{
PlaySound (157, "CPGSLKST", CHAN_BODY, 0.25, false, ATTN_NORM, false);
Thing_Activate (157);
}

Please, put the code where it belongs: into 'code' blocks...

Like this...

Code: Select all

ACTOR monitor1 : SwitchableDecoration 15075
{
	//$Category Models
	//$Title monitor1
	//$Color 3
	Radius 16
	Height 32
	Mass 20
	+SOLID
	+NOGRAVITY
	+DONTTHRUST
	+NOBLOOD
	States
	{
		Spawn:
		goto Inactive +1
		Inactive:
			MDCA A 1
			MDCA B -1
			Stop
		Active:
			MDCA A -1
			MDCA B 1
			Stop
}}
=======================
SCRIPT 3 (VOID)
{
	PlaySound (157, "CPGSLKST", CHAN_BODY, 0.25, false, ATTN_NORM, false);
	Thing_Activate (157);
}

Not absolutely essential, but it does help to make things more readable and avoid loss of formatting etc.

I don't post often and only after I scour the Forum for a possible solution. After 4 hours of looking I posted, only to find Enjay's solution minutes later.

Code: Select all

I will block my code in the future, I had problems posting images the first time tried.

Preview of the blocked code looks like the first time I tried images. Not sure If it's right.
