idle

[Gav]

Hello.

I want to change the time interval to make my characters idle, and the help file says to use: SetCharacterIdle (CHARID, int idleview, int delay)

in the script.

This is all well, except i dont know where to put it into the script, or what function heading to use.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,
Gav

in the idle animations view page,
main tree - views - view(whatever view is your idle)

you could change the delay for the frame by clicking underneath where it says  SPD:0

and then setting the delay there.  does that help?

are we using the same program (agsedit) ?  I'm afraid that the idle animation view page is completely foreign to me and i can't find it, or any mention of it, at all.

any other suggestions anyone?

There's only one editor for AGS (unless you're talking about Roommake and Roomedit in REAL old versions), there should be a "Views" page accesible by clicking on the appropiate option on the left tree panel of it.

ah yes yes...i misunderstood that it seems.

but does that actually speed up the amount of seconds i have to be idle before the idle animation starts? i dont think it does, i think its for changing how long each frame plays for.

the default time until idle starts is 20 seconds and i want to set it at about 6.  how can i change this?

In that case, just use that SetCharacterIdle () function in WHERE you want the change.

For example, if you want it to change to one specific value in the WHOLE game, just put it in the gamestart() function.

Took time to find out what was originally asked, or didt taryuu just confuse you?

In the Global Script there's a function called game_start(). Place it there

ok thanks, that's working good now.
