Hi Everyone, how i can attach fx to this places? 
mif:
there s only one place where i can choise 
Hi Emrakul,
There should be a couple of ways to accomplish what you want to see! First one to try is actually how youâre trying to do it, but with a few additional changes needed! Youâre on the right track with the âparticleEffectAttachPoint1â and 2 parameters. The only thing you need to do now is include some callbacks for the skill in the .aif file linked to the leap animation (.aifs are just text files with callback points, if youâre not familiar with how they work, we can give you some tips there as well):
CallbackPoint
{
name = âPS1Startâ
frame = 0
}CallbackPoint
{
name = âPS1Endâ
frame = 15
}
CallbackPoint
{
name = âPS2Startâ
frame = 0
}CallbackPoint
{
name = âPS2Endâ
frame = 15
}
and in the dbr file:
The frame-count on the start/end can obviously be whatever you want. Based on your images, it wasnât clear if you were making custom attach points for these jets or not. Iâd highly recommend making custom attach points because SpecialHit01 and 03 are used for various other purposes in-game and changing their location/position could result in undesirable issues.
Let me know if that doesnât work out for you and we can try to figure out whatâs missing. Good luck!
Thank you for support
2 questions:
And another question about FX on armor ( not about skill) Why, the effect that I assign to the attachment is valid for the Spine1 bone, has 2 problems: 1 - the Viewer is displayed correctly, FX is where the turbines are, 
in the game is on the opposite side 
. 2 - they also move strangely in relation to the armor, it is clear that they follow Spine1 but slightly incorrectly if they are late for a second through animations, the movement of armor and FX are the same but not synchronous. This is only on the armor, if you put this armor instead of Hero_00 in male01.dbr, then FX works correctly, however, in both cases, when using the Leap, FX skills, they remain on the ground and do not take off with the character
1. How i can build aif+anm if it ingame (engine) already, i can open anm with notepad++ and add some callback, but how i can put that animations in build? bcs i dont have Sourse->Asset files, only resourses.
You shouldnât need access to the source animation files so long as you create an aif file in source with the same name as the .aif file that exists already. For example, the current jump animation named âHero01_Sword1H_Jump01.mshâ uses the .aif file called "Hero01_Sword1H_Jump01.aif"
With that in mind, if you add a new aif file to source with the same name, it should add in your changes to the animation when you build. As you discovered, you can see the contents of the .aif file in the anm file when you open it in a text editor. To create an .aif file as previously described, simply copy the all the human-readable text at the end of the anm file (starting with âcallbackpointâ all the way to the last â}â ). Next, create a new .txt file with the name of the .aif you want to replace and rename it to have the â.aifâ file type. When you add it to source and build, it should update the animation (hopefully).
2. and what mif i need to use for attachments, armor(item) or characer (Hero_00) ?
Yes, you need to add the attach points to the Hero_00.mshâs mif âHero_00_Body.mifâ To do this, similar process as before, copying out the mif from inside the .msh file in a text editor, starting with âAttachPointâ all the way to the last â}â
As for your last question, Iâm not really sure how youâre attaching those FX (on the armorâs mif or via the skill setup we discussed). If the attach points & FX are on the armorâs mif, there could potentially be a number of problems. Rather than trying to troubleshoot them all, hereâs what a .mif from one of our shoulders with ambient FX looks like:
AttachPoint
{
name = "FXShoulder_R"
parent = "Bip01 R Clavicle"
origin = (0.299578, 0.015130, -0.036163)
xAxis = (0.620742, -0.039424, -0.783992)
yAxis = (0.775687, 0.176082, 0.605952)
zAxis = (0.113891, -0.984852, 0.139482)
}
AttachPoint
{
name = "FXShoulder_L"
parent = "Bip01 L Clavicle"
origin = (0.323263, 0.006864, 0.023845)
xAxis = (-0.021226, -0.996685, -0.101737)
yAxis = (0.909487, 0.022952, -0.416397)
zAxis = (-0.415157, 0.100960, -0.905132)
}
CreateEntity
{
attach = "FXShoulder_R"
entity = "Records\FX\ItemFX\MagicalFX\glow_Necrotic_Med01_FX.dbr"
}
CreateEntity
{
attach = "FXShoulder_L"
entity = "Records\FX\ItemFX\MagicalFX\glow_Necrotic_Med01_FX.dbr"
}
Once you have the FX on the msh in the viewer, you should be able to test and see how it follows the characterâs movements by loading one of the player animations onto it and playing through the timeline.
I hope that helps, let me know if youâre still having issues!
On second thought, looking at that last in-game pic, it looks like youâre using custom animations for the leap skill, is this true? If so, you should just be able to create an .aif for that animation and add it to the anm file when you create the asset in source (or edit it/add it in assets).
nope, that animations from GD)
i can create new aif, but i havent max files for GD animations, mif and aif files cannot add to asset throw the sourse, it adding by choise when you trying to create max files, there only one place for aif/mif. So without original max file, i cannot update?
about FX https://gifyu.com/image/ETWF in viewer its ok, but ingame it has 2 problems, 1 - 
2 -
i noticed this animations dont jumping in viewer, i tryed uncheck lockbones, not helps, i think jump created in game engine, not in animation.
but when i tryed this and choise R hand, it works and flying with character, so i dont understand attachment not flying?
Did you hook up your new .aif to the original anm fileâs asset?
When you build with a new aif plugged in like that, it should update the anm file.
but i dont have the original anm file 
Hey Emrakul, obviously a bit of a difference between what we can see/do and what you see, so please bear with me in trying to figure this out. . .
Are you able to right-click > edit the extracted anm files in the assets tab of the AM? Can you modify the location of the .aif file that way? Do you get an error message when you try to edit it?
Yes, the jump is partially created in the engine and is controlled via callback points in the aif (StartJump and StopJump) which could explain why the attach points arenât following the character.
The aforementioned callback points shouldnât cause the FX to not follow the player, Iâm not exactly sure whatâs going on there.
i dont have any extracted anm in AM. The asset manager doesnât extract the files, that are shown on the screenshot, that youâve provided. The only files that are extracted are the resources, .anm files simply donât show up, so I cannot modify the location of the .aif file in any way.
It seems like the developer AM has access to some of the gameâs hidden files, that the user AM isnât able to see.
There should be a way to extract the anm files from GD and place them in your mod.
Do you see âTools > Extract Game FilesâŚâ in your AM? The source/build paths need to be set up correctly in order for it to work. Depending on which folders you choose, it will extract a LOT of data, so Iâd recommend temporarily setting a new mod/location before you try it. Then you should be able to copy the items you want over to your mod and edit them. If that doesnât work, I think I might have another work-around for you.
Seems that âUpper Bodyâ is not actually parented to the skeleton, so that explains why it was not following your character. The attach point âTargetâ might be a good point to try as it is parented and located in the middle of the character. You might be able to make it look like fire from the jets by making your own custom FX and offsetting the emitters in the FX editor so they look like theyâre located by the exhaust.
Iâve done the correct file extraction, but the files that you show arenât there. I guess weâll have to use the work-around method, that youâve mentioned
it works if i choise âTargetâ thanks a lot! i have new question, i want to create Flamer weapon, and i try put skill from inquisitor âpurifyingflameâ on it, but i cant change animations, 
il tryed to put some anims here
Hmm, you might have to manually copy over the anm files to your mod, I noticed when I tried it, the files werenât where I thought theyâd be located. That being said, if âTargetâ is working, we should probably just go with this technique since it seems like it will be less of a headache.
In regards to your animation question, the field you specified is actually a string that references the PC animation file. In that file, there are callbacks associated with special animations for the skill(s) in question. If you wish to change it, youâll have to make a new string there and also add it to the animation controller dbr:
Hope that helps!
As for the offset issue, perhaps the axis is wrong? You could try using âSpecialHit03â for the attach point instead of âTargetâ as I noticed the orientation/position is a little weird on Target.
Thank you a lot!!! Really without you help i cant did this: GIF anim - https://gifyu.com/image/EwMJ
about animations , i made those steps as you say, but its not work
Looking awesome! Glad you got it working!
When you applied the animation override, did you do it for the base game or the latest expansion you have installed? For example, there is an âANM_Male_PC.dbrâ file in the base game, GDX1 and GDX2. If you modified the one in the base game but have GDX2 installed, your changes will not show up in-game. Apologies if you were already aware, but just thought Iâd ask in case not!
Iâll ask around and see if there could be something else to blame.
i tryed original and GDX2 anm_male_pc. but no result
