Actor Animation

JesusMyLove

Hey everyone.

When my actors are destroyed, an explosion animation happens. But I don't want the same animation to happen every time the actor is destroyed.

Is there a way to have a random animation? So every time the actor is destroyed, a different explosion animation happens?

I want to use at least 3 random explosion animations.

Thanks everyone

Sure really easy to do:

Create an integer attribute:

• WhichDeathAnimation

When the actor dies change attribute game.WhichDeathAnimation to random(1,3) - change the 3 to however animations you have

*Create Rule if attribute self.WhichDeathAnimation = 1
Animate with animation 1

*Create Rule if attribute self.WhichDeathAnimation = 2
Animate with animation 2

*Create Rule if attribute self.WhichDeathAnimation = 3
Animate with animation 3

EDIT: Thanks @Braydon_SFX Self not Game

Okay, so here's what you'd do:

You'd create a self attribute - integer type.

When the actor is going to be destroyed, change this attribute to random(1,3). This will give it a random value between 1 and 3. You can then create rules that are based off of that attribute value.

For example:
Rule: When attribute self.WhichAnimation = 2,
Animate explosion 2

Or

Rule: When attribute self.WhichAnimation = 3,
Animate explosion 3
