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)


Main Script

function setFrames(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).
