Max # of animations.

[Kalnar]

Heya I'm setting animations by changing the animation sequence of an object to be equal to the number of a counter. I have it working but it doesn't work once I exceed 31 animations. animations 32+ doesn't work

Any ideas?

[Kalnar]

Ah actually it works on objects but not on groups belonging to that object. So for example. I have a ton of objects belonging to group 3 If I tell the individual objects to set to animation 33 it works but if I tell the group it dosn't

HURRAY!

[Kalnar]

well no, it's still not good. I will have about 20 objects that will belong to group 3. I can't test to see if each objects anim is done I need to test to see if the groups anim is done. but I can't test anims over #31. I have some ways around this but it's hacky.

It seems it's an old limitation from MMF1 / TGF1 that hasn't been removed in this condition. I think we can fix it in the final version of the build 247, I've asked Francois for confirmation.

Until then, you could always try to use multiple directions for each animation, rather then separate animations. You figure 32 * 32 = 1024 more animations.

Good Idea BrandonC

I actually am using a workaround that isn't too hacky .

I'm setting a counter equal to the last anim played on group 3 and then setting another flag to 1 when an anim finishes and 0 when an anim is playing

If flag 1 is = 1 and last anim is equal to whatever anim I want to test to see if it is done I consider the anim finished.

Luckely I only have one object in group 3 playing anims at once. (It's a fighting game with lots of characters) So for my project this should work .
