animated doors

[c-king]

Got some problems with animating objects. I have a closet door and when I interact with it opens but when I click again it start the animation again.

I need to open a closet then close it when I click again

[Ashen]

Just use a variable, e.g.:

Code: ags

if (doorisopen == 0) {
  // Door opening animation
  doorisopen = 1;
}
else if (doorisopen == 1) {
  // Door closinging animation
  doorisopen = 0;
}

(BFAQ entry on variables, if you're not sure how they work.) You could also use Get/SetGlobalInt().

What do I need to put in 'doorisopen' It tells me its undefined.

(i'm still beginner)

You have to put

Code: ags

int doorisopen;

in the very beginning of room script. (It has to be outside the door opening function)

Did you not read the BFAQ entry Ashen linked?

This page (scroll down to the bit about variables) might be a bit clearer. The short version is (as Pablo said):

Open up the Room Script for the room the door is in (Ctrl-E, or the '{}' button on the 'Settings' tab.)
At the top of the script, outside of any functions, put int doorisopen;


As I said you can use GetGlobalInt() and SetGlobalInt() instead. (Look them up in the manual for more details - they're built-in variables you can use instead of creating your own.) Take the chance to read through the BFAQ, though, as well as the other tutorial I linked.
