I have this animation for a projectile that gradually gets smaller as it goes(basically the last few frames before the animation ends get smaller until it is gone) and when the player hits it with his weapon I want it to reflect back. Problem is when he hits it back its still playing its animation and by the time the hit projectile leaves his weapon its basically dead. So just to sum this up, how do you replay an animation that is already playing? Also what specifically is the High speed, Low Speed in the animation editor for exactly? http://www.invincibletime.com/ Devlog for HD MMF Game Omulus.

And the speed frequencies are for the maximum and minimum animation speed on oh... say, a walking animation. Basically the faster your character's (Or whatever you've got in mind)speed is, the faster your character's animation is. Depending on how you set it's limitations. If you set min and max to 50, then there would be no change in anim speed at all. Edited by W3R3W00F An old and washed up once-kid

It just makes it so that the faster the object moves, the faster its animation plays. For what you're doing you could just store the current animation frame in an alterable value, and always set it manually. Edited by Sketchy n/a

JetpackLover Registered 01/03/2007 Points 212	10th February, 2009 at 18:24:04 - I tried using that a few different times but it doesn't work. Why isn't there an option for "replay animation"? The way I got around this was just playing another animation that was identical but still...that a lame way to get around it. Oh and an unrelated gripe, why the hell does the event editor list scroll all damn choppy like. It makes it near impossible to navigate if you have a whole bunch of conditions in 1 line. http://www.invincibletime.com/ Devlog for HD MMF Game Omulus.

And what you might need to do (I'm just guessing)is put the animation on loop. Or maybe this is the code you need. •Start of frame -(Animation sequence) Stop Then for whenever you want to start it, •<your condition> -(Animation sequence) Start Then to set it back to the beginning, •End of animation -Set frame to frame 1 -Stop Hope it helped, and if you can, send an mfa and I'll be more able to help you out.

So you can choose to put the projectile animation events into a group, and disable the group as soon as the player hits the projectile. (not a good idea when there will be multiple objects at once) Or you can run a timer for each projectile shot (using the projectile's own alterable values to make sure it works for each instance of the object) then manually set the animation frames at the timer gets higher or lower or whatever. Flags are also unique to each object so thats would work well disabling the animation a rough example would be. enemy shoots projectile --> set projectile alterable value a to 100 projectile alterable value a greater than 0 + flag 0 is off --> subtract 1 projectile alterable value a equal or lower than 0 --> destroy (flag 0 will be the projectile's flag 0. The animation will freeze as soon as the flag is not set to off) projectile alterable value a equal 100 --> set animation frame to 0 projectile alterable value a equal 70 --> set animation frame to 1 projectile alterable value a equal 40 --> set animation frame to 2 projectile alterable value a equal 10 --> set animation frame to 3 Player hits projectile --> set projectile's flag 0 on .
MBK Registered 07/06/2007 Points 1578	11th February, 2009 at 07:45:39 - You could do something like, Set animation level to Counter ... Shoot button ---> set flag 1 to on ... If Flag 1 is on --> add to Counter ... If Flag 0 is off --> subtract to Counter ... Animation level < 0 --> do damage to enemy ... Animation level > (whatever the highest number of your anim is) --> do damage to player. That would probably work. Imho, the actives animations are rather stubborn and buggy (at least in TGF1) ... so if you have to, you could always use an FLC, or AVI file for the animation. This can be helpful as setup for changing the animation frames of FLC and AVI files in TGF is much easier than that of Actives for some reason. AVI's are not good for transparencies though. FLC can do transparencies but is a rather old "outdated" file format. Use JASC Animation Shop 3 or something equal to it to create FLC files.

Then when you want to restart it, just set the alterable value to 1. This also gives you much more control over the animation, since for some reason "Set Frame" never seems to let me continue the animation from that point, just... set it's frame. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

Then just change the animation to the animation with the black pixel, and change it back in the same event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYrSD35vHo4 woooooooooooooooooaah maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

I used it yesterday to create a really cool animation effect for my game.
