animation priority

[buckdogg75]

I'm making a car game and have the animations to turn wheels left and right.
Can i make it so that the wheels will default to straight if i'm holding down up and left/right key, although left/right is the last key i've pressed. Basically, an override or default state kind of thing, unless i can create animations for multiple keys and i've overlooked an obvious work around.
thanks

You can add a "change animation" on the "Key up (left/right)" event, but that might make your car moondrive, which you don't want.
Instead use a script like this:

Code: Select all

char *key = GetKeyState();
if((key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0) || (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1))
{
  ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Wheels_Straight", FORWARD);
}
else if(key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
  ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Wheels_Left", FORWARD);
}
else
{
  ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Wheels_Right", FORWARD);
}

I haven't tested it yet, so I might be wrong. And don't forget to change the Wheels_(direction) to the true animation names.
