playerlook = true;

Hi all

okay, i'm messing with the P.E. (Particle Engine) and I came across a action I cant seem to figure out. I looked it up in the wiki and It shed some light but I cant get it to work. It's the 'playerlooks' action and could someone explain it to me thoroughly when the boolean is true or false? Please?

Thanks,
Mr. Omega

The property 'playerlooks' is for TShowImg_Gani .

When you have a player in a gani, you can set the properties of the TShowimg_Gani to the player looks, or... You can manually set it by having findimg( ganiIndex ).actor.headimg = "head0.png";

The property 'playerlooks' just makes all the properties that of player. ( the current player ) become those of the gani as well.

PHP Code:

...
if ( playerlooks )
  {
  this.actor.headimg = player.headimg;
  ...
  for ( i = 0; i < 30; i ++ )
    this.actor.attr[ i ] = player.attr[ i ];
  }
... 


Pretty much.

ok, I think I get it. Thanks

EDIT: Maybe not. I have the script where the player chats a phrase. I can get the shadow to show but not the NPC head, body, attr, etc to show. Also in the wiki it says to use projectile.actor.

You have to set the gani to idle or something, and then set playerlook. I don't think it automatically sets the gani for you.
