I am making a FPS and I have 2 guns. 1 is a pistol with actual animations, and the other is the m4 from the bootcamp demo. I want the m4 to simply go down like he is reloading. How would I do that with out making it look like it disappears and reappears? In case you are confused on what I mean, I want him to basically bring the gun down to where you cant see it, then it will play the reload sound, then he will bring it back up. Thanks for any answers in advance.
If your guns are simply attached to the camera you can add an animation on the M4 that simply moves it down. Use the animation editor. You can also add an animation event so it becomes easier to sync that reload sound. Then it becomes a simple matter of just calling animation.Play();
Well I can’t give you an example currently (away from my desk), but one thing you could do is create a lerp function which would have the object’s transform rotate over a course of time then after that time it would perform in the opposite direction. Probably not the most efficient way but hopefully this helps!
