3D physics character animator

Change animations of a 3D physics character automatically.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: D8H.

Automatically change the animationsof a 3D physics character based on movement and interaction with platform objects.

The 3D platformer example uses this extension (open the project online).

3D physics character animator

Change animations of a 3D physics character automatically.

Behavior properties

  • "Fall" animation name (🔤 String). Default value is Fall.
  • **"Idle" animation name ** (🔤 String). Default value is Idle.
  • "Jump" animation name (🔤 String). Default value is Jump.
  • Rotation speed (🔢 Number, Angular speed). Default value is 720.
  • "Run" animation name (🔤 String). Default value is Run.
See internal technical details

This behavior must be used on an object also having a behavior with type "AnimatableCapability::AnimatableBehavior". This is stored on property Animation.

  • "Fall" animation name is stored as FallAnimationName (String). Default value is Fall.
  • **"Idle" animation name ** is stored as IdleAnimationName (String). Default value is Idle.

  • "Jump" animation name is stored as JumpAnimationName (String). Default value is Jump.

    This behavior must be used on an object also having a behavior with type "Physics3D::PhysicsCharacter3D". This is stored on property PhysicsCharacter3D.

  • Rotation speed is stored as RotationSpeed (Number). Unit is AngularSpeed. Default value is 720.

  • "Run" animation name is stored as RunAnimationName (String). Default value is Run.

Behavior actions

Rotation speed
Change the rotation speed of the object.

See parameters & details
  • Parameter 0: 👾 Object
  • Parameter 1: 🧩 Behavior
  • Parameter 2: 🟰 Operator
  • Parameter 3 (🔢 Number): Value

Technical note: parameter 4 is an internal parameter handled by GDevelop.

Technical note: this action internal type (in GDevelop JSON) is PhysicsCharacter3DAnimator::PhysicsCharacter3DAnimator::SetRotationSpeed.

Behavior conditions

Rotation speed
Compare the rotation speed of the object.

See parameters & details
  • Parameter 0: 👾 Object
  • Parameter 1: 🧩 Behavior
  • Parameter 2: 🟰 Relational operator
  • Parameter 3 (🔢 Number): Value to compare

Technical note: parameter 4 is an internal parameter handled by GDevelop.

Technical note: this condition internal type (in GDevelop JSON) is PhysicsCharacter3DAnimator::PhysicsCharacter3DAnimator::RotationSpeed.

Behavior expressions

Expression Description
Object.PhysicsCharacter3DAnimator::RotationSpeed() Return the rotation speed of the object.
