Hi all.
As the title says, now that bar has a deploy animation, I think that it would be cool to add a thing more: the sight.
in 3.1 we had a lot of custom bar with bipod up/down and rear sight up/down...so I ask to our great modellers/animators: would it be possible to add to the default bar this animation?
deploy---> puts bipod down, flips sight up
undeploy---> flips sight down, folds bipod up.

That should be a little quicker than the original to fit the timing well, but i think it would ROCK.
Why am I asking for the default bar? well, I like it, and I think it's quite low-poly for my computer... ( :mad: )

Post your comment/suggest/help, please! I'd like to see this done!

At least a good tutorial...

thought it was a cool idea...

I agree completly, it would look very cool, and theres plenty of time in that animation to do it. We just need an animator to actually do something about it.

hey, thanks for the reply!
... err... do you know any good animator? :)

Capt. Glimsharp, we need you!!!

Cheeto animates as well as Sargeant Fury, but we dont see much of Fury round these days.

You're right! I remember Sgt.Fury's bar reload anim, they were great!
Let's hope that Cheeto sees this...oh, well, I'll PM him!

Great idea i will use it...
Now just remember it's for the DEFAULT Bar...

Nice to see you here EGETrae...

BTW, I've just sent a PM to Cheeto and Glimmy...let's hope!

Well, i can make it so that the rear sight is up the hole time...

nice...but it would really rock with the animation that flips it up only when deployed...
HELP! HELP! HELP!

That does sound kinda cool, I'd also like to see him rest his hand on top of the gun when it's deployed, like you see with m60 gunners. That, and two hands.

nice idea...resting or not, bar needs two hands!!

Where's Bittles...

see a lot of animators in the last few days...HELP this idea please!

One of the big issues with animating the sight is that it needs a completely new bone just for that. Adding it in MS3D could be fatal and figuring out the coordinates to add it straight in the SMD with Notepad would possibly take a while.

Yeah, though you could basically do it the same as the origin command, insert it, test it, tweak, repeat. But if you can't, then you have to (I think) animate the whole gun from scratch, which is why I'm a bit undecided on whether or not to do this. I'll take a look when/if I get the chance, and if I can add that bone without destroying the existing anims, then I'll do the deploy anims. But if I can't, then I don't have the time right now to totally reanimate the BAR (reloads are a *****) which means that then Glimmy is your best bet.

From what I've read, if you add the bone in the smd, then move it only in animation mode, you can do it without screwing anything up.

nice to see You're putting attention on this idea! Thx a lot, any help will be VERY appreciated!

I can easily do something like this, but I'm working hard on another mod right now currently. This shouldn't take too long though, and I'll try and do this when I need a break. :p

well, what can i say...looking forward! Really THANKS!

Yup, great idea, there is something like this in Firearms M60 and it looks cool.

Great, this'll be cool... :D
