For my full code, see this thread http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4392

In each key down event, depending on what direction he is faceing/move state, I have the variable DIR assigned a value.

Code: Select all

if (key[KEY_UP]==0&&key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "run_down", FORWARD);
dir=1;}

The DIR variable is assigned on my key up event too.

Code: Select all

if (key[KEY_UP]==0&&key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop_down", FORWARD);
dir=1;}

The DIR variable also determines what animation occurs when the players attacks.

Code: Select all

if(dir==1||dir==5)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heroa", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==3||dir==7)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heroau", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==2||dir==6)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heroal", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==4||dir==8)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heroar", FORWARD);}

Code still works like I want except player continuesly does his attack animation.

When these attack animations finish, I want to go back to whatever movement/stand still animation he is supposed to go to depending on the variable DIR.

So I entered this code as an animation finish event, for player attack down animation.

Code: Select all

if(dir==1)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop_down", FORWARD);}
if(dir==3)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop_up", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==2)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop_left", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==4)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "stop_right", FORWARD);}


else if(dir==5)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "run_down", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==7)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "run_up", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==6)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "run_left", FORWARD);}
else if(dir==8)
{ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "run_right", FORWARD);}


But he no longer does his attack animation and just stands there. What am I doing wrong? Isn't animation finish supposed to cause something to happen when the animation cycles through all of its frames?

Ok another question, how many frames must be in an animation in order for the animation finish to work? I have only two frames, in mine and it does NOT work. However, when I increased the # of frames I think it works...

Waht's your Game Editor version? I have tested here and works with 2 frames.

I have 1.3.4 full version. However, I tested the two frames in on the latest current demo version and it did NOT work.

So my animation's frames looks like this in order for animation finish to work:

filler frame(standing), swing 1, swing 2, filler frame(standing)
4 frames, frame rate=7

This way it works perfectly, however, i worry if there will be a problem if i upgrade to a better version.

Please, post or send me the game.

i sent two zips to support@game-editor.com. one has my working version and one has the recreated animation issue version.

Any luck Makslane? I kind of prefer to use two frame animations as it'll make it easier on me when I make my weapon actors.
