.50 BMG Rifle Animation

[Dmax22]

Hey everybody, I have a problem with a few guns.

I've downloaded this mod ( http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/18442/ New Vegas Items and Weapons at FO3 )

and wanted to make something similar myself but only for me, not to download.

So I've took the Items and Weapons from NV and added it to FO3.

My Problem is, in this case, how can I change the "trigger" or whatever it is for the Rifles.

 

Let me explain, I've got this badass Antimaterialrifle, which is boltaction.

Now i want to handle it as a 32. Cal. Rifle with the bolt pulling etc.

but everytime I reload or just pull the bolt after a shot it does not move.

Same for the reload animation, the magazine don't move with that animation.

 

Does anyone know what I mean and if someone do, can anyone help me?

 

Thanks

Dmax22 - Hello!

Have you tried using the animations that the bolt action weapons in Fallout 3 (Hunting Rifle) uses?

Make sure that your new weapon's "Animation Type" also has the same setting as the hunting rifle as reload & attack animations can change depending on that setting.

If your weapon has the same settings as the bolt action hunting rifle & still does not work then it could be a difference between animation names in the model between Vegas & Fallout 3.

I don't have New Vegas but I know that the weapons there work in a simillar fasihion to Fallout 3, only with an expanded range of animations.

Inside of the weapon's model/.nif, the animated parts like the bolt & the clip/magazine have names with hashes in front like:

##Bolt

Or

##Clip

Those names correspond to the animation files that they use which look for that part & animate it if it's there.

If the name is not there or different because it's from New Vegas then it won't get animated.

You can use Nifskope:

To open up your rifle & compare it to a Fallout 3 vanilla hunting rifle to make sure the animated parts have the same name.

 

If they are named differently & you're lucky :) , it may be as simple as renaming the animated parts on your rifle to match the parts of the hunting rifle.

Hope this helps!

For the magazine, I gave up trying and just used the sniper rifle animation. It removes the magazine when reloading and the player grips the pistol grip properly.
