How can I get my acto's axis on particular frame on animatio

Scripting Issues

Hi all^^

I’m writing a sports game with panda3d. Exactly, I’m writing a soccer game.
I have an animation for walking named “WALK”.
The actor on the animation is walking. I mean, the actor moves foward.
The animation has 19 frames.
The axis of the actor on the first frame of the animation is (0, 0, 0).
The axis of the actor on the last frame of the animation is (20, 30, 0)
That means, the actor moves 20 aim to x and moves 30 aim to y.

Please, take a look at this code

myActor.setPos( 0, 0, 0 )

myActor.pose( 'WALK', 0 )
print "-----------------------------"
print myActor.getX()
print myActor.getY()

myActor.pose( 'WALK', 18 )
print "-----------------------------"
print myActor.getX()
print myActor.getY()

The result is this…

-----------------------------
0
0
-----------------------------
0
0

But, I expect it ot be like this…

-----------------------------
0
0
-----------------------------
20

As I already said, I’m writing a sport game. So, I really need to know the axis of my actor on particular frame on the animation.

Already I opened and read walk.egg file. And it has axis(offset?) for every frames into <S$Anim> tag under <Xfm$Anim_S$>tag.
But, I don’t know how to get this value on my code.

Is there anybody who has any idea for this?
ANY IDEA WOULD BE FINE!!!
JUST, TELL ME PLEASE!!!

Have a good day.

Panda sees the actor as having lots of parts (arm, leg, head, pelvis) each of which has its own position. Then, the actor has a position as a whole. The position of the parts is relative to the position of the actor as a whole.

When you animate the character in maya, you’re moving the parts - the arms, the legs, the head, the pelvis. You’re not moving the actor as a whole. If you wish, you could ask panda where the pelvis is - that would give you a good idea where the character has moved to.

Normally, if you want a character to walk around a football field, you’d animate him running in place, then you’d move the character around in panda.
