How to rig ANY model (doesn't need a humanoid)

Hey were can I find the models from NiC?

[@BAC0NWOW]

you can’t get them, sorry. I have access to them because I animate for the game, but this works with any model, not just nic

[@Tukote]

This game is underrated the models are good and fit the style of the game the units are decently balanced grinding doesn’t take to long it’s a quick pick up and play type game overall it’s just a really good game

[@splobby]

yeah its really underrated but there needs to be more units in the base game

[@Tukote]

@@splobby agreed on the current amount of units is simply not enough I already got all of them in like less than 1-1.5 days. Maybe more planes and infantry.

[@tsaroftheunion]

A really good game, made better with Bac0n's amazing animation skills.

Yeah but medium tank heavy tank tank destroyer anti tank gun medium gunner and light tank need a buff desperately.

Holy, your animation timelines are filled :O

those keyframes were grouped, that's why it looked like that. it is still filled a ton without being grouped, but it doesnt look like what it was in the video

Thanks for this, i dont understand it at all but it proves it can be done.

[@sword_god8438]

some questions: Q1: When I try to the entire thing all the parts sort of just fly all over the place Q2: Some random part that was never intended to be animated was allowed to be animated Q3: Some parts can't be moved even though welded it. I hope you can answer those because those are the main roadblocks when I tried to animate something.

[@real_thisnut]

since he didn't reply Ill try and help you out Q1: I do not understand what you mean by "fly all over the place" Q2: you might of did something to cause that or it's the character or thing you're trying to animate causing problem. If I were you I just ignore it or anchor it Q3: update your plugins or studio if that didnt work check your rigging.

[@BAC0NWOW]

no it will never be obtainable. the super artillery was modeled after a real artillery (forgot the name) but only Germany had one. that means only campaigns where the germans are the enemy could have a super artillery (not available to players because players can be any skin, so it wouldn’t fit)

[@MoviesHD.3811]

[@zackpoo]

How do I make joints let go at one point in animation? I'm making one that includes a shotgun, and when it pumps, the shell goes out. However, once it's out, it doesn't move independently (since it is still connected via joints), but in accordance to the gun itself. How do I fix this? p.s. when i add the joint's "enabled" option, then turn it off at one point, it just breaks.

[@BAC0NWOW]

you cant detach it, the only way to do that is to have the shell be seperate and only be visible when it is ejected

[@zackpoo]

@@BAC0NWOW So I can’t make it so that characters drop items?

[@BAC0NWOW]

you can. rig a character normally and then make a copy of the item (not attached to anything). when it comes time for the character to drop the item in the animation, line both up so they are inside each other, and make the one connected to the character invisible, and the one not connected to anything visible

Hm, are you sure you followed every step closely? It may also be that the scripts in your game require a humanoid, but I'm not sure.
