How can i make the character's eyes look in a specific direction (idle only)

How can i make the character's eyes look in a specific direction such as if Mario's head is looking left, Mario's eyes look left and same for the right direction?

 

[AgentX]

gMarioStates[index].marioBodyState.eyeState = MARIO_EYES_*

You can find all of the MARIO_EYES_* constants in the documentation.

but for the miliseconds, how do i know it when the head goes left or right

I know this isnt my question, was following this thread to try doing this with my model. And here is the dumb question, which file is this code in because I've ctrl + fed the 3 files that fast64 created after export?

The code that AgentX posted to find the stuff for the left/right eyes, I cannot find it anywhere, I was asking which document was it in.

oh

I have an absurdly profound knowledge of the docs, which is the only reason I can consider myself even a relatively competent SM64 CoopDX Modder.

And even that’s kinda exaggerating the little skill I have.

Try looking here for the gMarioStates mentioned how to use it, and here for the struct it produces.
marioBodyState should contain everything you’re looking for.
Emphasis on should, as I am rarely entirely reliable.

does this go into the Lua file?

 

[ComputerAxe]

Yes. You require a decent knowledge of Lua before going into this.
If you know nothing about Lua, I suggest the Lua manual.
If you need more help, try asking on the #coop-mods-discussions channel on the discord server.
Again:

but when i try putting the eye in the same specific direction (as a test I'm doing with the d-pads for the eye movement) it just gives me a script error
and yes i didn't know who to reply

 

[ComputerAxe]

Try to look at the error using F1.
It's pretty easy to interpret if you know how.
Feel free to post the error here if you need help.

 

[esponjaex-coop]

this is the code i did (i don't know gMariostates very well sometimes):
function mario_update(m)

if (m.controller.buttonDown & D_JPAD) ~= 0 then
gMarioStates[1].marioBodyState.eyeState = MARIO_EYES_DOWN

elseif (m.controller.buttonDown & U_JPAD) ~= 0 then
gMarioStates[1].marioBodyState.eyeState = MARIO_EYES_UP

elseif (m.controller.buttonDown & L_JPAD) ~= 0 then
gMarioStates[1].marioBodyState.eyeState = MARIO_EYES_LEFT

elseif (m.controller.buttonDown & R_JPAD) ~= 0 then
gMarioStates[1].marioBodyState.eyeState = MARIO_EYES_RIGHT
end
end

hook_event(HOOK_MARIO_UPDATE, mario_update)

 

[ComputerAxe]

I mean the code itself seems fine...
Did you add those states to your model?

 

[esponjaex-coop]

well when i was playing sonic character dx mod with the cjes luigi, i randomly saw Luigi looking to the left in one of the star animation frames, so maybe the default models have them (i also don't know all of the models (only how they look) )

 

[ComputerAxe]

Knowing how models work, I suspect you'd need to change to model itself.
This, however, is nearing the limitations of my knowledge, so I might be wrong.

 

[esponjaex-coop]

i checked the players model template and they still have the eye stuff (head only)

 

[ComputerAxe]

Huh.
Unfortunately I cannot look into it deeper right now, but I will look at the code hooks / examples later and see what I can find.
Sorry I wasn't much help

 

[esponjaex-coop]

Sorry I wasn't much help

it's okay, don't worry about it.

Don't double post! Use that edit button! Post automatically merged: Jun 21, 2024

i also discovered the problem
i got to the code of anim-tester and i discovered that i missed "look" on the code
(I'm not supposed to reply after double posting that became the auto-merge)
now i have the most frequent issue that will happen whenever the script is enabled: crashing
