Declarinring in Global codes?

[poopbrigade]

Hey and Hello every one I'm making my game called BattleMage and I was thinking of transfering codes from one to another and maybe merging em but I bCus I'm tired of the repeating codes and I also tried to learn global thingys and learned a bit of it, now heres my question=>
How can I set a name of an animation to another 1 like
walk_L=WalkingLeftMonkeySlowly
so that I just asign their names and copy past codes.....

Thank in advance XD.....

That's a bit confusing... but if I understand you correctly, you want to apply the same change-animation code to multiple actors. To do this, you'll need the different actors to have the same animation names, such as Walk_left, Walk_right, etc.

Put this in your global code:

Code: Select all

void TurnLeft()
{
    *you may put any code here that you do not wish to repeat*
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Walk_left", FORWARDS);
}


Then, to use this code later on any actor you wish, you simply copy this into the script editor:

Code: Select all

TurnLeft();


Thats a subprocedure, by the way, and you can name it watever you want... I just chose TurnLeft for the example.

As far as i know, you cannot actively change an animation name once it has been added to the animation list.

What you can do, however, is use define.

#define Walk_L WalkingLeftMonkeySlowly

If you aren't familiar: Put it in a global script window, and add as many as you want. Any time you type the first thing, it replaces it with the second.

Excessive use of the #define can make bug hunting painful and makes it harder to share code.

That being said its never stopped me. You can do some pretty nifty things with #define.
