repeatable animation

multiplayer

Hi,
I want my actor to have looped "idle" animation but every 10 seconds i want new short animation to be played. Then return to "idle" loop.
How to do it?

multiplayer

ok:) in other words: how to play animation every 5 seconds?

Time behavior does not work

i need something diferent:

animation ---> 5 sec break (no anim, just still image) ---> animtion ---> 5 sec break ---> animation... etc

I understand what you're asking multiplayer. It's not to do with frame rates at all. Here's an example:

An animation shows a man jogging along. It can loop forever, but randomly you want the man to wave as he jogs along.

How would that be done?

ok, thanks for help- this is working

and what about Colin's exaple?do you know how to do that ?

I hadn't done animation yet (I've only had GS for a week, and didn't get around to it until now). This page shows how to have different animations based on direction:

It seems then that all you do is have the different set of images in the two Animate behaviors, and have a rule or a timer that invokes the right set of images.
