In this tutorial we will add a female alien character to the scene. We will let her walk by the cell once in a while.
If you try to talk with her, she gets angry and says you should be quiet.
Steps
- Copy the files from the 'Tutorial resource pack' for this tutorial to the appropriate directories.
We will describe these files here briefly:
-
/init/story/alien: This is the brain for the alien character. Just like the player each character has a brain. -
/scenes/capture: These are the motion capture files used for the alien character. -
/scenes/character6: These are the character and cloth meshes. -
/scenes/charobj: These meshes are used for collision detection for characters in general. -
/scenes/sounds: These files are the sound files used for the character. -
/scene/textures: These files are the texture files used for the character.
