Post Accessing an actor's Head in a script
Hi guys,
sorry to bother you with such a rookie question but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

I'm trying to dynamically set the SpriteAnimMode of my actor to 1 if he's walking, I supposed I could do this:

Code:
function Create(self)
   --Nothing here
end

function Update(self)
    if self.IsAtRest then
      self.Head.SpriteAnimMode = 1
   else
      self.Head.SpriteAnimMode = 0
    end
end


Bu the game says that Head is a nil value. How can I access the head to change its SpriteAnimMode parameter?
Thanks for any reply.

The head is technically an attachable. We can't Lua attachables.

Maybe I can find the head cycling through all the attachables of the scene and asking for their parent? (if so, please someone include the code or at least the name of the parent variable, thanks!)

As in no Lua affects them; if we had access to attachables that code would work perfectly. But as of yet it's impossible.
