changing frame rate?

[Oman]

Hey everyone,

I was wondring if tere was a code to change the frame rate of an actors animation, in game.

Can i do that? If so how? If not, then its a future request.

I've been wondering that, myself...

What about creating a timer?
when timer ends change animation position.
you can set a variable named timeframe as an example.

On create object:

Code: Select all

CreateTimer("Event Actor", "aa", timeframe);

Then you create a "timer" event:

Code: Select all

animpos=animpos+1;

To get this to work you must change animation direction to "stopped" (I think).

yes, but i wanted to do something like...

Code: Select all

framerate = xvelocity*20;

thats why i wanted to know

Mabey make several of the same animation with different frame rates, and when you want to change the framerate, change the animation to the desired frame rate.

i know... thats what i thought of.. but it's too much of a hassle

See the thing is, you can only slow down a framerate. As the program isn't calculating things faster then the "program framerate", it doesn't do anything to set them at a faster framerate. So copying your animation to different filenames, and then deleting every other one, and adding this as a new animation, is the way to make it quicker (looking at least)...

[Oman]

well, how do i slow it down Then?

[d-soldier]

The same way, but instead of deleting frames, set the frame rate slower... It would be benefitial to have a function that adjusts framerates fo multiple animations (which are really the same images) are not required, adding to the file sizes...

[d-soldier]

The same way, execet instead of deleting frames, in the new animation, set the framerate slower... it really would be a good function to adjust animation framerates through scripting, so the filesizes are plugged with the same images multiple times for such things though,...

oh.. ok... yes.. then perhaps in the next version
