Motions (Seq)¶

Motions can be broken down into a variety of BXM files located in the {model_prefix}/{model_id} folders.

{model_id}_{mot_number}_{variant_number}_seq_edit_{type}.bxm

File Example

pl2000_0015_0_seq_edit_effect.bxm

mot_number - This will match the number of the motion assigned in the action file
variant_number - This will be "versions" of the attack that can be utilized depending on the character's progress in their specific gimmick. An example of this would be Ghandagoza's Raging fist. Depending on the amount of Eternal Rage he has, it will go from 0 (0 stacks) to 4 (10 stacks) This allows the motion to be used multiple times, but have different AttackRate, BreakRate, SpArtsRate values, as well as other effects or things affected by BXMs
type
- effect - Controls visual effects
- facialmotion - Controls facial animations
- flags - Controls flags needed to be called during the animation (see below for flag values)
- ik - Controls inverse kinematics
- mesh - Unknown
- attack - Controls hitboxes that the animation will spawn, note that these hitboxes will not hit automatically, the amount of times the character can hit and when is controlled by flags
- se - Controls sound effects
- camera - Controls camera movements
- speed - Controls the speed of the ANIMATION. this does not affect VFX, but does affect hitboxes and flags. i am not aware if it affects camera or sound effects
- cloth - ?
