Name	Type	By
setAnimFrames("anim", f, t)	Definition	AFRLme

This small function allows you to quickly set the frame range of an animation.

Instructions

1. Add the main script to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.
2a. Example #1: forcing an animation to loop a single animation frame, in this case animation frame #1.

setAnimFrames("example", 1)

2b. Example #2: forcing an animation to loop a range of animation frames, in this case between animation frames #3 to #7.

setAnimFrames("example", 3, 7)

2c. Example #3: force animation to loop between the 3rd frame & the total amount of animation frames belonging to the animation.

setAnimFrames("example", 3, #Animations["example"].Sprites)

Main Script

function setAnimFrames(anim, f, t)
  t = t or f -- fallback in case t equals nil
  if f > t then f = t end -- fallback in case f is greater than t
  ActiveAnimations[anim].FirstFrame = f -- update from animation frame range
  ActiveAnimations[anim].LastFrame =  t -- update to animation frame range
end

Syntax Breakdown

Name	Type	Description
anim	"string"	This should be a "string" value containing the name of the animation you want to affect.
f	integer	This should be an integer (number) value which will determine which frame will be the initial (from) frame of the linked animation (anim).
t	integer	This should be an integer (number) value which will determine which frame will be the final (to) frame of the linked animation (anim).
