Alright this is a quick one - how can I stop a framecount from increasing once it reaches a certain frame? I've tried (at work so I can't verify, but something like this)


But it doesn't seem to do anything that I can see. I've read elsewhere that lua can't modify SpriteAnimMode so I can't just set it to 0 or something. I suppose I could start with SpriteAnimMode at 0 and animate it entirely by lua, but it seems to me that there must be a simple way to just stop it once its reached a certain point.

So you want your sprite to stop animating as soon as it gets to a certain frame?

Well first off, you don't need it to be animated through ini, unless you want looping. Just make sure the FrameCount is correct in the ini.



And thats all there really is to it. Just have a timer help with changing Frames and to have a cap check to see if it goes over.

It works, but when it gets to the last frame it flickers like crazy. I'll play with the variables to see if it makes a difference.

What do you mean it flickers? Do you still have the SpriteAnimMode in the ini?

If you do remove that. Otherwise it shouldn't be flickering.

SpriteAnimMode and Duration are both removed - it still flickers between the last two frames of the animation.

Try this instead. This should fix it.

Yeeep that worked. It's always something simple like that that prevents stuff from working properly!
