I'm not sure what you're doing exactly using the tables but I'd think you could just add the animate behavior to your Jewel actor and put your frames of animation in there.

Then just have rules that say:

When attribute self.Image is [whatever the animating jewel's starting image name is]
     Change attribute self.Animate to true

When attribute self.Animate is true
     Animate

When attribute self.Image is [the name of the last frame of the animation]
     Change attribute self.Animate to false

There are ways to animate from a list of images in a table by using constrains, loops, and/or timers. They are not as easy to control tho and takes some set-up.

But maybe you just need to rethink how the system is designed.

Can you tell us how the tables are used exactly?

Hello,

If you are making a candy crush game, using tables. Then there is a very high chance that you have already given each jewel a unique ID number. Or a method to seperate each jewel from each other in the tables. (This way you can run logic to check if a match is made).

You can, either work out what this ID is, or create a new id yourself.

If ID is equal 1, than your jewel is a Ruby.

If ID is equal 2, than your jewel is an emerald. etc etc

This way, in your rule where it has the Jewel being removed. You can add in 5 extra rules.

If ID =1, Then animate the Ruby Animation.

IF ID = 2, Then animate the Emerald Animation.

etc
