Manipulating gani frame lengths?

[Jiroxys7]

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a gani script or something to manipulate the frame length of a gani. For example, lets say we have a gani with 6 frames that all go for .1 seconds each. we would use this gani script along with a wnpc to calculate a few factors that affect the speed of the gani, perhaps bringing it down to .5 seconds per frame. or even something like .62 seconds per frame.

is there any way to do this? it would be immensely useful to me.

It doesn't look like there's anything in /scripthelp that would suggest there is. I can see this being useful in situations like a speed debuff, so when your player is slowed down so is their walking animation to reflect that.

So there is..

My rough implementation:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  onSetAni2("sword", 0, 6, 0.1, "sword1.png");
}

/*
    gani - Animation to draw
    frame - Frame to draw
    frames - The amount of frames to draw
    framelength - Time to draw each frame
    param - Optional animation param
*/

function onSetAni2(gani, frame, frames, framelength, param) {
  // Draw Frame
  setani(format("%s[%i]", gani, frame), param);
  // Increment Frame
  frame++;
  // Make sure animation isn't done
  if (frame != frames) {
    // Schedule drawing of next frame
    this.scheduleevent(framelength, "SetAni2", ani, frame, frames, framelenght, param);
  }
}

Man, i'm having some serious bad luck with scripting or something lately. My movement system project bombed since it was doing something weird and wouldnt let up after a few days of trying to figure out what was causing it. And maybe related but i cant incorporate that system you posted either. I eventually got to the point where i dropped the custom movement system, and put your code in a seperate npc. played around with it (yes, i fixed the typo) and still no luck. it wasnt updating anything at all. not even with a simple timeout script. i eventually turned THAT into

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onTimeout(){
  player.chat = "!";
} 
setTimer(0.05); 


and yet my player.chat does not equal "!"; so then i thought, maybe some other script is updating my chat that i somehow forgot to delete, and changed it to player.x += 1; no luck. i think im starting to lose it cuz this makes no sense at all. i ended up rechecking about 4-5 times that i actually added that timeout loop npc to myself AND that the script was free of errors (yes, that simple, few lines of code). @_@


Maybe I'm just burned out from the past few hours, but i think i'm going to have to hire a scripter. do either of you know any trustworthy ones out there who might be willing to script for me and who arent, you know, like ultra-shady or anything?

You have code outside of functions which is never good. Here's a proper version:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  // Begin Loopiing
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function onTimeout() {
  // Do something..
  player.chat = player.chat+1;
  // Continue Looping
  setTimer(0.05);
} 


You should keep loops like that to the absolute minimum, and try to develop things based on events (onPlayerChats, onPlayerEnters, etc.) instead.

The code I provided, if you want to use that function (onSetAni2) in other scripts you just have to paste it in the script you want to use it.

If you need scripting help feel free to ask the GDT, the scripter to everything else ratio there is pretty high. Keep in mind as long as you aren't script begging you should be able to get a lot of help from the NPC Scripting section.

There's a bug with Graal where //#CLIENTSIDE will not work if there are spaces to the right of it; I think your script has one.

[Jiroxys7]

It's odd. that didnt do anything either. i also just tried

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE function onPlayerenters(){
player.chat = "Hello";
} 


still with no luck. i think something may be broken because either I just completely forgot the basics of scripting, or.. it's anyone's guess.

Hm..
