Animation Interruption

gariantroll

I have been at this for days and I have decided to get some help before I have a heart attack. I have characters animating in various attacks, but when the character attacks I want them to be able to get hit. THe problem arises once they get hit they do their "hurt" animation, but then they revert back to the last frame of their interrupted attack which is now the character image.

Any ideas?

Hi gariantroll; try putting a boolean attribute in the Rule:

When Hurt is false
Animate

When Hurt is true
Animate -the hurt frames

I did that but I am still having trouble, but I think I found a solution I am testing out now by adding a default frame that activates at the end of the hurt animation.

I set up a self state integer attribute that is referenced by rules to play animations to play different animations. Then use rules to change the self state and find this good way to manage animations. By doing a rule that makes changes the self state based on reaching a frame within animation (self image) you can revert to whatever state you want after a the hurt or whatever.

Hope that helps
