Hello everyone.
I want to learn how to make interacting animations, like killing enemy from behind with a knife for example, or using a ladder, and things like this, i basically want to put my character into specific location in relation to targeted object (AI,Ladder, etc) and play the animation. I don’t want to just create animation and hope that it will line up good with world. Can anyone point me in right direction? What to look for, been trying to google/youtube it but can’t quite find thing i need.
Thank you very much in advance
I handle this by lerping the characters world location to the location that you want them to start the animation in.
This isn’t always perfect however, and using the ladder example, if you want the character to get to the bottom dynamically without sliding there are a couple of things I would recommend, make the distance that the character can interact with the ladder small so there is minimum sliding and if the blending is still worrying you, you’ll need to look into IK and blend curves.
Sorry this wasn’t a perfect answer but there’s a few different approaches to this, this is just the way I have done it.
