Change Animation using script editor...

[IPete2]

Hi team,

I am now getting to grips with simple scripting. Wow the power underneath GE is really cool!

However, I have a little question. I am using the following code with a global variable called 'moveme' :

if (moveme==1)
{
y=y-4;
ChangeAnimation("ducky","Duck001","FORWARD");
}


'moveme' is set by a routine which checks if a key is held down.

The problem is that if the key is held down - no animation runs because it is always resetting, because the key is held.

Is there another way to achieve change animation in scripting please?

I could use a counter but that seems a bit lame in C. Any thoughts?

if ( animIndex != [put animIndex for Duck001 here] )
ChangeAnimation("ducky","Duck001","FORWARD");

If implemented you could use:
if ( animIndex != animIndex(Duck001) )
ChangeAnimation("ducky","Duck001","FORWARD");
