Pick a animation frame?

[HillBilly]

Is there any way I can pick a specific frame in a animation?

What I would like is to have a spinning object, but I want to have a random number pick 1 frame of the animation, like animation frame #12 and that would be that object.

frameindex is the variable name

I think you meant "animpos".

OK, can I talk you into some kind of example. The online manual does not say much about this command.

On create actor or any other event use this code

Code: Select all

animpos=round(rand(nframes));

before that you have to change animation direction to stopped to avoid flickering.
You can replace nframes with any number you wish, this way it takes the number of frames your animation has. So if your animation has 10 frames you will get a random frame from 0 to 9 (the first frame counts as 0).
