Passing params to attached ganis

[Yen]

I think I already asked about this, but I'm not sure:
I'm attaching a gani to the player via attr[].
I want to be able to send a parameter with the gani.
Is there any way to do this?

In GS1, I would just do something like 'setplayerprop #P2,blah.gani,3;'
It doesn't work on GS2/v4.

[Skyld]

attr[index] = {"ganiname", "params"};

[Yen]

player.attr[7] = {"yen-effect-copytrail.gani",3};

Nothing is showing, at all.

Is your param 3?

NPC Code:

---

player.attr[7] = {"yen_effect_copytrail", "param1", "param2", "param3", "param4", etc};

---

Is this actually displaying the gani? Instead of using showani? or are you parsing this somewhere?

You don't need the .gani there.

player.attr[7] = {"yen-effect-copytrail", 3};

It doesn't work, period; with or without the .gani extension.
If I try to set it to an array like that, it simply doesn't change.

Put a sleep( 0.05); in the gani script, before you load params[ index] and it should work.

Maybe in this case you must do: player.attr[ 7] = "gani",3;
Because in findImg( index).ani = lala; you must also do it that way.

That _SHOULD_ produce a syntax error. But it probably won't because it will use oldstrings and such. If you're going to do something like that, the correct syntax is either:

player.attr[7] = { "gani", 3 };
or
player.attr[7] = "\"gani\",3";
