Title: problem with cycling
Post by: robingravel on January 05, 2003, 11:47:00 PM

Hi.

Here's my problem:

I want to cycling the view from the last cel to the 0 cel.

(teing:
  init(15 cdBACKWARD)
  setCycle(Beg)
  (teing:show())
 )
(instance teing of Act
 (properties
  x 93
  y 130
  view 26
  //loop 15
 )
)

The actor shows in the game at the first cel and begin
to cycle from the last cel to the first cel.

How I can showing the view from its last cel, not the first cel?

Thanks in advance.

Would SetCel() work?

My intro is still not finished yet.

Once the cycle is finished, this person should say "I'm back!" but I don't know how.

I tried

 (method (cycleDone)
  Print("I'm back!")
 )

but nothing happens.

Create a Script to handle it

Code: [Select]

(instance MyScript of Script
            (properties)
            (method(changeState newState)
            = state NewState
           (switch(state)
                  (case 0
                          (send gEgo:setCycle(Fwd))
                          //set number of cycles to wait before next state//
                          = cycles 10 //10 = number of cels in loop//
                  )
                  (case 1
                           Print("I'm Back!")
                  )
           )
)

Then when you want to activate the script, say in your initialization code.

Code: [Select]

(MyScript:changeState(0))

There may be a better way, but I am sure this works.
