Title: multi movement and animation
Post by: unknownusername on Fri 18/11/2011 00:55:20
I have read through the in game manual and am unable to figure out how if possible to do this.
I want to make animations that take place while the player is moving.  Also Character movement that doesn't stop as the player is moving.  I would like a character to move lets say past the player and make some action while the player is moving and not stop and wait while the action happens.  If I wanted to make small character animation to happen this way would I have to include it in background animation?

Use eNoBlock for your non-player animation to run in the background then it won't stop anything else happening.

If you use eBlock then it will hold everything until it's finished and if you use eRepeat as well as eBlock then it will go on forever and nothing else will happen!

Also, take a look at my GotThere (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=36383.msg477380#msg477380) module.
It allows for stuff to happen after the player walked to a hotspot non-blocking.
