Offseting prefab animations

[chromiumboy]

Is there are way to offset the animations of a prefab (outside of Spriter)?

 

I've found AnimState:SetFinalOffset(n) where n is an integer, but this does not seem to have any effect.

sounds off-putting

 

If nothing else helps, I recommend dummies. A dummy prefab should work just fine, possibly, maybe.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it would work for what I intend. I want to be able to shift the player and mob anims to appear to sink into the ground.

@chromiumboy Have you tried changing the "y" position of the prefab's instance? I think the game does provide usable 3 dimensional coordinates, even though the player never moves up or down. (Birds do fly up/down though)

Remember to suspense gravity if you try this, or your guys will literally sink into the floor!

I did, but the game physics pushes you back up to ground level instantly. Turning off the collision with the ground could be possible, but as Mobbstar says, you'll fall straight through. I wonder if its possible to set up a secondary floor underneath the original?

@chromiumboy I think it might be easier (and probably efficient) to disable the gravity and floor collision for the character instead, and control the y coordinate manually. I'm assuming the x and z won't be changed either because the character is stuck in the ground?
