when my character reloads in black ops 3, the magazine in my gun does not move at all. How do I make it so the character actually moves the magazine? Also same thing with the rail on the side of the gun.





http://phabricator.aviacreations.com/w/black_ops_3/guides/weapon_porting/



Following the tutorial from the link above, I just re-did all of the following steps (from the linked tutorial)

Preparing the models

Exporting the model

Compiling the model in APE

Converting animations from older games (I only re-did the reload animations)

Compiling the animations in APE.



In these steps I also binded the mag and set everything up properly, but I still get the same issue. My character does not move the magazine in my M14 when reloading.

So you binded the mag and the gun separately? I just want to know exactly what you did so I can help :)

Hey, I actually watched your video when I ported the m14, the 1 hour long video where you do the mouser :D I decided to refer to that written tutorial that I linked because I thought it would be easier to describe what I was doing.



I binded the mag seperatly to the gun, then dragged the binded mag onto the gun, just like how you do it with the scarh

Move the tag_clip on your own and see if the mag goes with it, if so, remove the namespaces from tag_clip.

I did manage to fix everything. I found out that the issue was the anim files that I was using.

Expand All of the joints of the gun and show me the tags in a screenshot. Also are you using a conversion rig or a stock one?

Ahh, this is a separate issue, unrealated to the anim import. This could be due to several things such as your export tag names, can you provide the top part (bones) of your xmodel export? also the top part of one of the xanims.

Yeah send over the full parts list in the anim but it looks like maybe the weights could be getting messed up on export if it's not moving at all...

Actually looks like the anim exports are messed up, the clip tag is only being called "clip" in your export, it's supposed to be tag_clip. Not sure why it's breaking on export. Might be like that in scene when exporting, double check, thats why it's not moving though.

If you definitely have them both the same, then it's possible the weights are breaking on export, this is hard to debug...
