Playing Animations in script

[DeM0nFiRe]

Ok, I know I'll smack my forehead when I hear the answer, but how do you play an animation from the database on a sprite in a script?

No need to smack your forehead , I think you should kick something...

anyway , change the "animation_id" of a sprite to the id of the animation in the database you want .

gotta kick something now..haa...

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

That's what I want to know how to do. There's no animation_id for sprites made using the Sprite class, was there another class I should have used?

Actually, it's the Game_Character that have the animation_id attribute... close enough ^^

Haven't tested that, but this should work :

$game_map.events[event_id].animation_id = animation_id

or

$game_player.animation_id = animation_id

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Nah, that'll play animation on a player or event. I know how to do that, I'm talking about in a seperate script.

 

[rataime]

Yes, I know, but rmxp.org went down when I was editing the message >_<

In a separate script, if sprite is a RPG::Sprite, you can use this :

sprite.animation( $data_animations[animation_id], true)

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

The sprite is a Sprite sprite, not RPG::Sprite.
From the people I've been talking too, it looks like there's no way to do what I want to do. It looks like I'll have to script my own Advanced Animation script.

What exactly do you want to do?

 

[rataime]

DeM0nFire, Sprite is the parent class of RPG::Sprite. Just replace "Sprite" with "RPG::Sprite" and it will work the same way, with added functions, including animation. No need to reinvent the wheel...

Really? I thought I tried that, lemme go see.
