| Post subject: | SpriteAnimDuration question. |
i wanted to know how exactly SpriteAnimDuration works . is it like the total time a animation takes? so taking the specified frames and timing the stuff automatic , or rather the time between frames. also whats SpriteAnimMode for ? ive had no luck looking on the wiki. |

It's time between frames in milliseconds SpriteAnimMode is animation mode. Takes numbers from 0 to 6. These modes can be set through this parameter. 0 = NOANIM 1 = ALWAYSLOOP 2 = ALWAYSRANDOM 3 = ALWAYSPINGPONG 4 = LOOPWHENMOVING 5 = LOOPWHENOPENCLOSE 6 = PINGPONGOPENCLOSE Sorry, didn't remember the source of the info about modes... It's somewhere on the forums. Try searching "SpriteAnimMode", maybe you'll find that topic. It must contain more information about modes. |

thanks, thats quite usefull. also i think it picks a random frame if set to 0 or not defined at all, the mode. |

If set to 0, then it stops on the first frame. If not defined, then it sets to 1 by default. |

ahh i see , i'm having trouble with muzzle flash animation, but i don't think it was made for the amount of frames i want it to use... its a 12frame long blunderbuss muzzle flash,with smoke for SFX but it seems as the animation is random. just showing one frame , or maybe a couple at most. |

Yes, a muzzleflash will show one or two random frames from the animation you provide. It's hardcoded, so there's no changing it, you just have to work around it. |

Mad Alex wrote: It's time between frames in milliseconds Not quite, it's actually how long it takes in milliseconds to go through all frames. As in, if you have 5 frames, each frame will show for 100 milliseconds. Edit: And that'd be SpriteAnimDuration = 500. Can't believe i actually forgot to mention that. >.> |

As in, if you have 5 frames, each frame will show for 100 milliseconds. so that would be for SpriteAnimDuration = 500. my initial thought, animation duration. too bad muzzle flash are hardcoded like that. i might aswell dump these here then if somebody knows a workaround.  and a gif of it in action.

Actually, could you not have the gun emit an MOSRotating [for example] with a lifetime of however long, when it is fired? Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a workaround. |

Yes, a MOSRotating with correctly set lifetime and animation settings will work. |

I thought as much, but it would be buggy, especially when firing multiple shots at once. There is some lag-potential as well. |

Using an AEmitter can fix those issues. You can set the maximum amounts of particles to emit, in this case, to 1, invidually per emission. |

Would you have to use Lua to attach the emitter, or could it be attached through .ini? |

| Post subject: | Re: SpriteAnimDuration question. |
No, it would be fired, and the AEmitter would spawn all the shots, and the super-animated muzzleflash. Stop making it so hard, mate. |
