Animindex?

[jazz_e_bob]

What does animindex represent?

[makslane]

Use animindex to know the actual animation in your actor

If your actor has 3 animations, then:

First animation has animindex = 0
Second animation has animindex = 1
Third animation has animindex = 2

Great. Thanks!

For animindex, do u have to, first, define ur animations with script and then determine their index ? Or does it have to do with the the "Rank" of ur animations in the Actor Control panel

[makslane]

Use the Actor Control "Rank"

GREAT ! so animpos actually determines an Actor's Frame number !

Wow, i rarely feel so excited with a software, but i have to say that at this very moment i AM!

GE'S GREAT

Well i've been trying things with animpos.

But i have a question. If i have let's say 20 frames for an actor, can i tell him (with scripting) to first play animation from frame 0 to 10 and STOP. and after Timer X to go from 10 to 20 ?

I'm gonna try it myself and... i hope it WORKS !

On "Mouse Button Down" Event (or any event other than Draw Actor)

Add a "Change Animation Direction" action:
Actor: Event Actor
Direction: Stopped

Add "Wait for frame action": Any animation, 10


Add a "Create Timer" action:
Actor: Event Actor
Timer: wait (Periodic, 2000 ms, 1 times)

Add "Wait for frame action": Any animation, 10



On Timer Event of wait timer:

Add a "Change Animation Direction" action:
Actor: Event Actor
Direction: Forward

Add "Wait for frame action": Any animation, 10

Genious !

On Timer Event of wait timer:

Add a "Change Animation Direction" action:
Actor: Event Actor
Direction: Forward

Add "Wait for frame action": Any animation, 10

Does that mean that the actor's animation will stop at frame 20 ?

[makslane]

To stop on frame 20 you must add other "Change Animation Direction" action with "Wait for frame" 20
