Viewing one frame in a split-second, then normal animation

 Viewing one frame in a split-second, then normal animation Back with more secretive Lua questions. More animation questions, but this time it's something specific. The idea is to flash one frame for the bare minimum time possible before continuing on at a given rate with the others. I need to do this because I want to make trees that can collide with MOs or vice versa as it grows, and flashing the last frame it sets the collision for everything before it. Otherwise the collision is set for the first (and smallest sized) frame. I'm attempting to work around by having the first frame be the fully grown tree, then the second and onwards being from small to big. When I try this code however, it just locks it on one frame, or seems to. Without the >>indicated<< bit, the plant iterates through the frames to the last one and stays there, as intended. Any ideas? Code: function Create(self)
self.animTimer = Timer()
self.frameChangeTime = 200 -- This is the time interval between changing frames (In miliseconds).
self.Flashframe = 1
self.startFrame = 2
self.maxFrame = 12 -- This is the frame at which you want the animation to stop at.
end
function Update(self)
>>>>if self.Frame = self.Flashframe then
self.Frame = self.startFrame
end <<<<<
if self.Frame >= self.maxFrame then
self.Frame = self.maxFrame
else
if self.animTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.frameChangeTime) then
self.Frame = self.Frame + 1
self.animTimer:Reset()
end
end
end

Re: Viewing one frame in a split-second, then normal animation I always loved working with frames in lua. First things first, in the indicated bit Code: if self.Frame = self.Flashframe then should be Code: if self.Frame == self.Flashframe then

Re: Viewing one frame in a split-second, then normal animation Coops wrote: I always loved working with frames in lua. First things first, in the indicated bit Code: if self.Frame = self.Flashframe then should be Code: if self.Frame == self.Flashframe then Yeah, you work with the transforming gun-sprite in the crawler in your Aco faction inspired a crazy idea for me that I'm not sure if I can pull off yet! Either way, this now works, except that there's still a visible flash of the first frame for a second. I'm not sure that I can cut it down any more, even by changing the frame change time. Thoughts? Code: function Create(self)
self.animTimer = Timer()
self.frameChangeTime = 0 -- This is the time interval between changing frames (In miliseconds).
self.Flashframe = 1
self.startFrame = 2
self.maxFrame = 12 -- This is the frame at which you want the animation to stop at.
if self.Frame == self.Flashframe then
self.Frame = self.startFrame
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.Frame == self.startFrame then
self.frameChangeTime = 1500
end
if self.Frame >= self.maxFrame then
self.Frame = self.maxFrame
else
if self.animTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.frameChangeTime) then
self.Frame = self.Frame + 1
self.animTimer:Reset()
end
end
end

Re: Viewing one frame in a split-second, then normal animation I doubt it, the very first frame where an object is created seems to be impossible to touch with Lua (Create(self) takes the first frame after that). However, if you use Lua to spawn it and set its Scale to 0 before adding it, then setting it back to 1 as the first possible thing, then it might work.

This works beautifully and perfectly, by the way.
