one shot anim

[cassius]

How do I make an anim perform 1 sequrnce then stop?

I think you could simply try to skip the Animate() call when the current frame reaches (or exceeds) the last frame.

For single animations I simply set a flag and do something along these lines:

 

Pseudo code:

 

If Play_RequiredAnim = 1
  Animate(Entity,Frame,1,0,1)
  Frame = Frame + 0.1 'alter this value to adjust playback speed
     If Frame > Last Frame
        Play_RequiredAnim = 0
     EndIf
EndIf

 

Frame : The start frame of the required anim sequence

Last Frame : The last frame of the required anim sequence

Thanks for replies. I thought there might be a built in way of doing single shot anims as in Blitz 3d but I will use the code you suggest.
