Ani. finished -> next frame not working anymore?

[Leander]

When was the latest update of MF2 released?

My game has a menu, with this code: player clicks on "play game"....then an animation is played. If this animation is over the next frame is loaded.

It worked for months. But suddenly it doesn't. Everything is there in the event editor. But in my game only the animation is played but it doesn't jump to the next frame. I tried older versions of my game...same here. I didn't change anything.

What could it be?

the latest update of MMF2 was build 246.
email me the exe and the mfa files so i can look at them, my email is: GameMaster10P at gmail dot com

Use two counters.

GROUP - Start of frame

Always
> Set counter 2 to length of animation
> Close group Start of frame

GROUP - Animation

Always
> Set counter 1 to current position in the animation

Counter 1 >= Counter 2
>Next frame

Thanks Paul but the strange thing is that my method has worked for months. I also have an exe of my game that I created a short time ago (exe of the .mfa I'm talking about) and it works. The exe works, my mfa used to work but over night it doesn't work anymore.

It must be due to an update. Or a bug. Or whatever.

Leander, you said that over night your MFA went from working to not working. Did you do any updates the day before that could ID the fault? Did you install a new MMF build, update some Windows components, install some new codecs, anything that could help identify the fault?

[Leander]

No updates. I ran MF2 for the first time in weeks. I think there are autoupdates but I already have build 246. Don't know. I just delete these lines of code and add them again. This will hopefully work.

Oh my god...I found the mistake. Animation 14 was looped! Therefore it never finished (although it only contained one image) and the next frame wasn't loaded.

The event editor was ok BUT the animations created a bug as I didn't change anything there. There was no loop and I didn't add a loop yet there suddenly was one for reasons unknown.

Nevermind, the game works now.

Glad it's been sorted.
