Function help needed

[duracel92]

I'd just like to know how the function, animindex would help making combat scenario's. I read something like using the code to make only 1 animation 'do damage' to another actor...?

This may help you understand animindex:

Use animindex(count from 0) to find the actual animation of your actor. Each animation that an actor has has a unique index assigned to it. ( This way you can tell which animation is currently running. )
If your actor has 3 animations, then:
The first animation has animindex = 0
The second animation has animindex = 1
The third animation has animindex = 2
This variable is read only.

How would this help you design a combat senario?

Hmm, I suppose that you could change your animations based on collisions or something like that.

There are quite a few posts in the forum on animindex. You might want to search and see if any of the topics apply to what you are trying to do. HTHs...

The plan was to use the function to make only 1 or 2 frames in 1 animation - based on a collision event - decerease a 'health' variable on the opposing actor.
