No control because of an eRepeat Animation [SOLVED]

[10o]

When I enter the room where a NPC is doing an constantly repated Animation I'am not able to move my Player.


function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
 cTyp.Animate(2, 1, eRepeat);
}


What possiblitys do I have to animate the NPC while moving my player?

You could set the animation as an idle view.

Code: ags

cTyp.SetIdleView(2, 0);

Hm I get an error:

"The character 'Typ' could not be displayed because ther were no frames in loop 0 of view 2."

Actually, there is a much easyer way.. silly me..  :

Using your first code, simply adding eNoBlock afer it should do the trick.

Code: ags

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
  cTyp.Animate(2, 1, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
}

From the manual:

For blocking you can pass either eBlock (in which case the function will wait for the animation to finish before returning), or eNoBlock (in which case the animation will start to play, but your script will continue). The default is eBlock.

Code: ags

  cTyp.Animate(2, 1, eRepeat, eNoBlock);

I've tryed to look it up in the manuel before, but overread it
