frustrating animpos glitch... =(

[Sgt. Sparky]

there is a frustrating glitch with GE to where right after you change the animation you cannot set the animation position with the animpos varaible.
here is the code I am using,

Code: Select all

anim = animpos;
if(key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Heli_02Rotate3", FORWARD);
animpos = anim;
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
}
if(key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1)
{
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Heli_01Rotate3", FORWARD);
animpos = anim;
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", BACKWARD);
}


and yes, I am making a Helicopter Game.

Well, I really don't know what you are trying to do here, but if it is what I think it is than try it this way:

Create a global:

Code: Select all

int animdir=0 //0 to left and 1 to right


Now make your code like this:
anim = animpos;
if(key[KEY_LEFT] == 1 && animdir!=0)
{
animdir=0;
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Heli_02Rotate3", FORWARD);
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
animpos = anim;
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
}else
if(key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && animdir!=1)
{
animdir=1;
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "Heli_01Rotate3", FORWARD);
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
animpos = anim;
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", BACKWARD);
}
