Forgive my noobisums but how to I get something to animate on CC?

Basically I have got a craft and I wanted to add some blinky lights to it so I have made each frame and named them with number after their names such as 000, 001 and so on. There are like 3 frames? I increased the framecount in the crafts file and the game loads up fine but it only plays the first frame... I've never really needed to animate before so I've never learnt how. Compared to other peoples work I think I have it all there but I must be missing something...

I want flasheh lights!

Would you kindly point out what I'm missing? ^^

There's a variable called framecount. Set it to how many frames you have.

Have done that... anything else? o.O

You also need to set a SpriteAnimMode (0-4) and SpriteAnimDuration (0-inf), I think.

Try opening the doors? Not sure if you can animate craft bodies otherwise.

Now that would make sence... 1 moment please.

Where'd I add them? Like under the framecount?


The Tec Troopers Craft has blinkeh lights... Love that Mod BTW.


Dosen't seem like that did anything? And I didn't find them in other files containing animated units.

Any other Ideas?

It failed too for my AK resprite.

Hmmm... it would seem not many people know how to animate?

Well hopefully this will help others as well as myself then, if I get a answer.

I never really needed to animate but now I'm adding lots of stuff into my faction I feel that a few animations would make a few units look alot cooler.

you could allways see how the tec troopers dropship works and then give some credits to winny(sorry forgot how it is spelled) for the inspiration...

To be honest I'm not really sure what I'm looking for... thats why I asked here.

spacepope, you cant animate guns.
regardless, you do just need to add "SpriteAnimMode = 1" and "SpriteAnimDuration = 800" to your code, anywhere, but under the framecount works well enough.

Is 1 "Animate while walking"? I think 2 is "Loop forwards infinitely", which might be more to his liking.

no, i think 3 is animate while walking. i think 2 is animate infinitely randomly, while 1 is animate infinitely in sequence. i cant remember.

Uh! That seems to be working now, Thanks guys.

I went with 2 in the end... nothing happened when I tried 1... Werid.
