Change Animation

Postby xenoruh » Sun Apr 10, 2005 2:42 pm

When I attempt to change an animation, I am given only one choice for graphic when in fact my game already use 30 different images (animations). How do I get to pick the other hidden images?

- Use the Change Animation action wo switch animations
- Use the animpos variable to select a frame in current animation

Thanks for the reply,
The 'change animation' action is the one I tried to use, it only gave me one option for an animation change when I want a choice of 30. I have just tried it again and still only one choice (ie. no choice, since the actor already uses that (single file) animation).
Thanks for the animpos tip, I don't need it now but it will come in useful later no doubt.
I know I must be doing something wrong not to be offered a choice of animations, but I can't work out what my error is.

If you are using the single file option, you must specify the number of horizontal and vertical frames

Oh, you have to set each actor with it's own array of unique animations within the 'actor control: animation' area. You can't configure them will nilly.
