Character Morphs ????

[James P]

I have modified Emma so that her actions to a certain extent match her emotional state of mind, ie

sad = anim_sad_hand_cover_face.hap
Angry = anim_shake_fist.hap
and so on

My question is as simple as this, Would it be possible to that if Emma were to get real angry instead of using a Hap file emotion I could set her to morph to say ZenMans Tigress.hap, which does not have the extention of a Hap file rather a haptek document file ( I think, I am not infront of my laptop just now). so in effect causing Emma to totally morphing into a different character when realy angry.

If this is not possible, is it possible to change the File extensions in Hap hap files so that instead of Ultra hal laoding an emotion it would launch a character hap, or am I asking too much at this point in time? []

It is possible by modifying Hal's script to send a HapText command to Hal through a HalCommand as detailed on http://www.zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=996

It's been a while since I worked with the Haptek engine interface, so I don't know the exact commands you would need to send to accomplish this, but Haptek's page at http://www.haptek.com/developers/authoring/ documents all commands the engine understands.

Thanks for the Ling Mr. M If I get this working I will be sure to post the script.

PS info time on what I am trying to do:
One of the characters I use is the Elf Haptek character, I have downloaded Zenmans Tigress character and noticed a striking resemblence to my Elf character. What I want to do is get my elf character to change into the Tigress character when she gets angry for an extended period of time and change back the the Elf character as she calms down...... This way I as well as others who use this charactewr will know if they have gone too far and really upset there Elf. []
