Need help with this...

How can I create an actor ingame with a random animation through Create Actor event?
I'm making a breakout game(Super Mario Breakout), and the block have different animations(question block, red koopa, green koopa, blue koopa, shyguy, green mushroom. All from the Super Mario games). So, plz help me(oh, yea and they're generated with script, not clones)

This creates actorName with a randomly selected animation, replace the 5 with however many animations the actor has.

Code: Select all

CreateActor("actorName", getAnimName(rand(5)), "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false);

ok, thanks
Edit:
Do the first animation count as 0 or 1 in that script?
Edit2:
It didn't work... in the code I have this:
actor: racket>Create Actor>Script Editor

Code: Select all

int i, j;
char brick[5][10] =
{
{1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0},
{0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0},
{0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0}
};count = 0;
for(j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
    for(i=0; i < 10; i++)
    {
      if(brick[j][i]) CreateActor("metalBlock1", getAnimName(rand(6)), "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false);
    }
}




What's wrong?

Well, it probably is due to you not changing the xy position in the create actor script. The first animation is 0.
