UE2 - UT2kX Making a fish swimming.

[massimilianogoi]

Hello everyone.

I tried to create a fish that swims underwater, using the Havok_Flying option under the Physics->InitialHavokState property:

The fish floats, but it never go in deepness. As you could see, the path was made in a way that the fish have to go down, but this didn't succeeded, and it keeps to "swim" at the same plane when it started to move.

Why?

Sorry for the dumb question, but is this for UT3 / 2004?

Looks like UT3.

 

[massimilianogoi]

Yeah, UT3!

 

[MualamaAlien]

its for ue2, ut3 runs on ue3

 

[Kantham]

Looks like UT3.

Sarcasm?

 

[massimilianogoi]

So, anyone who could tell me what can I do?

 

[xMurphyx]

No sarcasm. I was just judging by the array of buttons I have never seen before...

@massi:
I have no idea what you can do in UnrealEd. I'm only here because the icon said it was UnrealEngine 2.
What you can do to get any sort of help is to change the icon by editing your post above (if it's still possible) so people who know something about UnrealEngine 3 don't have to stumble in here by accident.

Not sure

I don't know the answer to your question, I'm interested in this thread because I'd like to do a similiar thing but I'm even less sure than you.

Did you model the fish and set up bones for a skeletal mesh? and then import into unrealEd? Once you have your model in unreal, what then? Any guides would be appreciated, external links?

Sorry I couldn't help but I'm a junior here so all i can do is read and listen to the more experienced people.

Actually it looks like engine 1. Unreal 1

 

[TurdDrive]

i think we should answer the question now

Yes, of course. Once I have my model in unreal, it moves only in a plane bidimensional, XY plane, talking mathematically, but in the z axys it doesn't move.

Guides?? There it is: http://www.neomagination.com/tutorials/09_02Rigging.html

No problem!

But please, my dear!

 

[TurdDrive]

Thanks for the link, very helpful

Thank/please.

What game is that? The buttons are way different from any UT editor version. Also, no UT game ever had Havok physics, UT200x used Karma and UT3 uses PhysX.

Ok, I'll reveal then: it's Thief 3. And it runs under the unreal 2003 engine. That's why I asked here, because in the ttlg forum there aren't people skilled like here with this kind of issues.
