Death Animation for Doodad

Hello again guys. I was just going to answer that one guy questions about "marines and sounds" but you were faster. Darn... ;)

So, I decided to ask my own stupid question. Here it comes:

My unit "Wall" is based on "Farm" but it's model has been changed to doodad "Wall End Short Base". When it is destroyed, no death animation is played - because there is no one. That doesn't look very nice.

How can I make a death animation easily to the unit?
I hope it can be made by triggers and using some other structure's death animation? Right? Decay animation would be nice too...

So, any ideas?

Use another model.

2.
Export the current model, and add a death animation yourself (Good luck).

They're kindly folk, glad to have had their question answered, that don't want to waste the time of people who may have the answers to other people's unanswered questions :)

Still, its a good idea to leave them open I think, so people like me without answers for other people's questions have something to do :p

You know, when a see a post titled "Plz HELP MEEEEEE!!!!",
it's a (really) good guess that I won't find anything new or even just interesting there.
However, I still do read everything (so to say)...

Closing a thread is way too final.
That's a bit like "This is my thread with my problem. You don't touch it!"...

Yes, I'm just seeing things, obviously.

Still, every now and then, someone comes with a new reply even after the original poster is "happy".
Which is good.
We're a community.
Or, at least, supposed to be one.
(Yes, we are, don't worry)

On the other hand, I don't really like the Revival of the Ancients(*) either...
(You know, like threads from january 2004...)


Well... :D


Happy mapping,
AceHart

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
