I'm trying to script my characters run animation, but it's not working. When i click the W or forward arrow key the character does not respond what so ever...

The animation works fine in the HeroEngine Viewer, and the same .aas script has scripting for jumping, which works. So it's just an issue with moving.

Here's my BasicHM.aas file

! biped control

!this is a super basic template to start with
!add more stuff and make it do something neat!!


channels
{
  AnimAllBody
}

inputs
{
  animation = Idle
 
  // Basic inputs used by the HeroEngine_ACCController
  BaseMode = Normal, Combat
  BasePosture = Idle, Turning, Moving, Prone, Dead, Sitting, Kneeling, Alive, Climbing
  OverridePosture = None, Jumping, Landing, Falling, Dead, Knockback, ResurrectTarget
  MoveType = Normal, Swim
  IdleType = Normal
  MoveDirection = Forward, Backward
  TurnDirection = None, Right, Left
  TurnAmount = None, T45Degrees, T90Degrees, T135Degrees, T180Degrees
  variable AlreadyTurning =  true, false
  variable CurrentMotion = Idle, TurningLeft, TurningRight, Forward, Backingup, CombatMove
}

transition OverridePosture
{
from None to Jumping = DoJump
}

action DoJump
{
anim "Jump"
blend 1

problem, is the default controller is never in normal mode, it's always in combat mode by default.

which you don't cover. If you are possessing a mob same things always is in combat mode.
So you have to override the base controller mechanics or program to use combat basemode.

Ah, I didn't know this... All the hero engine examples I've seen used normal. Ill give this a shot when I get home from
Work! Thanks.

Thanks that worked, but character doesn't move from it's possition. I'm guessing I have to code this part, which is odd if that's the case since jump works....

Something else I noticed for some reason the animation moves from left to right while it's running... Which it shouldn't, it doesn't in 3ds max... EDIT: After posting this I remembered reading about the SRB. The animation I had was causing the root bone to rotate via the z axis, and move via the x and y axis.. Which it should only be moving via the y axis. The left and right moving problem is solved ...

Now I just need to work on the character movement.
