Simplest question ever asked...

[ratty]

This is so simple I couldnt even find it in search results because it was too vague! Im a noob...

In the expression editor, how do I set it to a range between two set numbers, including those numbers? For example "between 1 and 10".

I need to do this because I want to have an object's animation be dependent on an alterable value. For example, if its from -1 to 1, set animation to Stopped, from -2 to -4 set it to Walking, etc.

Lastly, how do I change the names of animations? I see that its selectable but its greyed out.


Thanks so much guys and expect more questions as I learn this program. I haven't touched it since the Klick-n-Play days and a little bit with Click-n-Create! I'm getting back into it due to the iOS integration...if only I can figure out how to set taps and what not...ho hum.

MMF2 has a lot of junk from previous iterations that has carried on to this program, which is why the premade animation names are undeletable and can't be renamed. You have to create a new animation and then you can rename it whatever you want.

If you're wanting to create a condition for an event that checks the range do 2 conditions:
- Alterable value > -4 (greater than)
- Alterable value < -2 (less than)

Then the action would be

- Set animation to walking

But in this case that range check seems redundant since the only value that can be between those two is -3.
