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.

thnx sry for the long reply my internet broke.
XD.. trying it now..

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.
