SDK Problem Windsock with wind direction, please ....

[lumat]

Thanks Mamu
If I understand correctly, the animation must go clockwise for a lengh of 360°, so, from 0 to -359 ?

Yep,
Also take a look at the axis , using the PartInfo method the x+ Is facing Wind direction (where the Wind comes from, so when wind Is from 270 the x+ Will align to 270)

While using Asobo template the x+ Will face 270 with the Wind from 90

When doing your animation, Just Imagine where the Wind comes from, at 0 frame should be from North position, at 90 frame should be at East position, and adjust your mesh accordingly

I will check my animation tomorrow

Hi Mamu

I checked my orientation animation and frames. They didn't really match. I corrected them by inserting rotation keyframes at 0,° 90°, 270°, 180°
Now, the windsocks work fine

Thanks for your advises

Sorry to bump, but I have a little issue.
I made a simple windsock on a pole after @mamu 's tutorial (thanks )
My project compiles in fspackagetool and all animations work correctly in 3D Viewer.
I can also load my model as a SimObject in sim.

My question:
with depreciated code:

<Animation guid="950397a4-6717-41a4-a6b0-e531ed244691" type="Sim" name="Orientation" typeParam2="Orientation" typeParam="AutoPlay" length="360"/>
- <PartInfo>
<Name>Orientation</Name>
<AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
- <Animation>
- <Parameter>
<Code>(A:AMBIENT WIND DIRECTION, Degrees)</Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>

everything works fine, but with current SDK:

<Behaviors>
<Include ModelBehaviourFile="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>
<Component ID="Orientation">
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_WindDirection_Template">
</UseTemplate>
</Component>
</Behaviors>

only the wind strength animations work and the orientation ignores the ambient wind.

It must be something simple. Can anyone help?

Edit: Its a Steam installation, I wonder if my xml cant find the ModelBehaviourDefs for the template 🤔

Make sure that your sock is attached to an empty with the name "Orientation" and the animations strip in the NLA is Orientation too, that is all is needed to make the orientation work

Thanks for the reply.
I am sure the model is built correctly, including naming the empty and the animations in NLA.
Otherwise it wouldn't work with the legacy code with those same parameters.
Its either not finding the template or maybe Behaviours are broken in SU10. Probably an error in XML, but if so I haven't found it yet.

I also tried a very simple model with just a box on an axis and that doesn't rotate with wind direction either with the latest code standard.

For info, I am using Blender 2.9 with the toolkit. I tried 3.2 with Asobo's exporter, but that exported 9 animations where I only have 7 defined.

Make sure that the Behaviors section is in the right place in your model.xml
The template is really easy
Basically is only looking for an animation with the name "Orientation", it doesn't even care about the name of the object!

<Template Name="ASOBO_WindDirection_Template">
    <DefaultTemplateParameters>
        <ANIM_NAME>Orientation</ANIM_NAME>
    </DefaultTemplateParameters>
    <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
        <ANIM_CODE>(A:AMBIENT WIND DIRECTION,degrees) 180 + dnor</ANIM_CODE>
        <ANIM_WRAP>1</ANIM_WRAP>
        <ANIM_LENGTH>360</ANIM_LENGTH>
    </UseTemplate>
</Template>

Ok now the solution for you:

<Include ModelBehaviourFile="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>

There is a "spelling error" here, is not ModelBehaviourFile but ModelBehaviorFile

<Include ModelBehaviorFile="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>

Yes.
In my defence, I did write "Probably an error in XML, but if so I haven't found it yet."
Seems Asobo are using American instead of English, as they are working with Microsoft.

Mille grazie! @mamu
