Actions error

[animation man hi]

Whenever I try to apply an action no matter what model It always shows an error message say something like invalid action and then the file name. I don't want to have to animate a walk cycle every time i need one. SO how can I fix this.

what *exactly* does the error message say? And what is the file name the error message refers to?

[animation man hi]

It exactly say "invaled action file" and then give the location of where the action file is located.

What is the file name the error message refers to, including the extension?

Whenever I get an error message that says that, I am usually trying to load some kind of file A:M can't read.

Another thing you can try is to create a new embedded Action. Make it embedded so you don't have to worry about any file path issues.

Just move a couple of bones and save the project. Then apply that test action to your model in a chor. Does that action work?

[animation man hi]

The File location is. " localdisk/programfiles/hashinc/data/actions"

 

 

How do I do that.

The File location is. " localdisk/programfiles/hashinc/data/actions"

Which actio are you trying to apply? Does it have a ".act" extension?

 

How do I do that.

Create a new project.

Import your model.

Make a new Action. When you are asked which model to use for the action, choose the model you imported.

Move some bones around in the action.

Save your project.

Close the action.

Make a new choreography.

Drag your model into the choreography.

Drag the action you just made onto the model.

Does it work?
