XML:TRGE

TRGE : Trigger Emitter	XML modding tips See HERE to start learning about XML modding. See HERE if you are searching for information on how to handle object coordinates. See HERE for some typical modding errors and their causes.
XML TRBS << Other file types >> TRIG switch to OBD page

General information

• The XML on this page is compatible with OniSplit v0.9.61.0.
• TRGE is stored globally, in level0_Final.dat.
• TRGE files hold the 3D models for laser triggers, however there's only one model used in all of Oni, TRGEtrigger_emitter_0.
• The game crashes if you try to put a TRGEtrigger_emitter_0 file into an AE package to override the original.
• Choose another file name if you want a different TRGE, create a new TRIG and name your TRGE in the <Emitter> tag, and then name your TRIG in the <Class> tag of the level's BINACJBOTrigger.

XML tags

TRGE

<Position> - XYZ position of the emitter in connection to the M3GM

<Direction> - XYZ value of the normal vector of the emitter

<Geometry> - link to M3GM instance

<GunkFlags> - unused

Embedded M3GM

Export

You would need to cut TRGE instance so that only the M3GM and its connected instances remain and convert it to oni.

onisplit -extract:xml output_folder input_folder\TRGEfile.oni

onisplit -create output_folder input_folder\cutfile.xml

Version advice:

OniSplit v0.9.61.0 can extract M3GM only as OBJ.

OniSplit v0.9.41.0 can extract M3GM as OBJ or DAE.

Convert the M3GMfile.oni to OBJ:

onisplit -extract:obj output_folder input_folder\M3GMfile.oni

Import

You can replace the M3GM content with data from another M3GM.

You can create M3GM meshes from OBJ files.

onisplit -create:m3gm output_folder -tex:texture_file input_folder/weapon.obj

-tex is optional

The TXMP file must created separately (if needed).

Then you can convert the file to XML and replace the TRGE's old M3GM XML code. Remember to change the links (#N) and instance IDs of the new data.
