Error messages creating skill for Behaviour

Error messages creating skill for Behaviour

Ok - a further devlopment to this - I canned the MB rig and went with
trasferring the animation off it to an XSI rig - created from the rig giude -
now I had to resize the rig from the globalSRT to fit the scene and MB
animation.  Now when I do the thing, creating an 'Actor Generate' from my XSI
rig, and then transferring the skill from my XSI rig - it gives me the same
messages and gives me an action that has my Behaviour rig walking beyond
tippytoes!!!  So is this something to do with scaling the XSI rig down using
the GlobalSRT???? I thought that 'Actor Generate' would get rid of these
problems???  Is this a bog NoNo - should I try and create my XSI rig and leave
it at 1 1 1 scale???

Thanks

Sandy

 I forgot to mention, when you use Make Skills, try using higher value for the
Threshold. This value changes the threshold for the detection of contacts point
.

 I have never come across this problem, but If I remember correctly, when you
create a loco skill it tries to find the keys that represent the contact keys.
So if it cannot figure out the contact keys, this error would make sense. You
could try resampling your fcurves to make sure that there is enough keys to
find those contact points.

 Also, you could try to edit your animation to create more "obvious" contact
keys.

 Hi All - anyone know what this means:

 

 'INFO : Failed to find a valid contact key for LeftFoot_1 during the
processing of the walk action source.

 'INFO : Failed to find a valid contact key for RightFoot_1 during the
processing of the walk action source.

 'WARNING : 3000 - Invalid parameter to store in action:

 I Get this when I have created a loop out of a walk cycle, then I try to make
it into a skill and it bombs out with this message!!!

 Thanks

 S.
