Resources / Re: [Creature] Scorpion ! Almost Finished - Death Animation

« on: August 27, 2013, 01:53:20 AM »

Can't get the death animation to stay after it plays The best luck I've had is getting the animation to play via the actor's xml, but then either the corpse doesn't show or it shows double - immediately on death and stays after the animation too.

Anyone offer any help on getting it to animate and also keep the last frame?

can you share the xml you did so I can see your death animation? I'd love you forever

I'm animating my scorpion, and I've animated the death but I cant get the corpse to stay I'd even take disappearing after a certain point, but the animation keeps looping!

If the texture box is bigger than the creature, will there be collision issues?

What does it mean when it says texture sizes must be power of 2? It's not letting me import it to the editor, when I try to refresh resources it gives that error.

Ah I misread! I thought the second coordinates was for the bottom right of the frame, but its actually the size of the frame with the first coordinate as 0,0. Makes sense now thanks!

Lol... umm.. I JUST said: I don't need a pixel grid with Photoshop - There can be one but I don't need it. I can work pixel by pixel. Also, it has a ruler that I can use for locating pixel coordinates. Thanks tho!

I don't need to draw a pixel grid, I just wanted some kind of ruler to see what pixel I'm at without having to count each pixel by hand, etc. Photoshop has a ruler. I also don't need a pixel grid to work in pixels with photoshop

These numbers are coordinates (in pixels)
If you now go to these coordinates (with Paint.NET I did it)

I use Adobe Photoshop CC (14 x64) - Is there a way to count pixels with this program? I should probably google it.

Not all of the origins are the same though? Like... each actor has its own origin (and that origin is the same throughout the XML)

Also, THANKS for explaining that! I really appreciate it, I knew it would be simple.
