calling upon new views?

[blueshamoo]

the tutorial says it will cover this but I could not yet find the answer.
let's say I had a view for my character only 3 frames long that showed him throwing something and that was view 5.
let's say I want to change my main character cEgo to view 5. run that animation without looping then go back to the last view. how do you do that?

Check in the manual under "Character.LockView". The code for your animation should be something like this:

Code: ags

cEgo.LockView(5);
cEgo.Animate(0, 2, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
cEgo.UnlockView();

Change the second parameter of cEgo.Animate to slow down/speed up the animation.
