animation

mooNCresta

hi,congrats!

in some animations my characters throw things
i need create an object in the "throw sequence" but in the "right frame" of the animation
can you please include a sequence and frame option in spaw actor?

Hi mooNCresta,
You could make use of the Timer behavior to throw the object after a certain time.

time?
get and set the "keyframe" is a basic animation command and all that a animator need!

Hi again mooNCresta,
we'll look into that feature, but I was just suggesting that with what you have now with the tools, you could do that as a workaround.
Thanks for your suggestion.

hi,
i had received the iphone publishing newsletter
and i want to known if "current frame" option was implemented.

Being able to set "start frame" and access to "current frame" would be nice features. Currently if you have several of the same actors in a scene they all animate exactly the same which is kind of weird looking. I was recently wishing I could set a random "start frame" for my actors' looping animation so each animation would be offset.

mooNCresta

simple question,
but isn´t so difficult to known the answer!

you can try game editor(iphone soon) or the new flash cs5(iphone)
with both you can acess the current frame so your character can throw something in the right frame
or better with any serious game engine you can acess the current frame
as i said before the current frame is a basic animation command
without this you can make a simple butterfly iphone game

Oh, I've seen this feature in other game engines as well. With GS I work around it with a timer to get things to occur at the right time (and frame). It's not a big issue for me. I just wanted to voice my support for this feature
