Using Objects to create a FMV (SOLVED.)

[ginanubismon]

I am trying to figure out how to create a Full motion video by using objects as a "screen", I hope to string together one object to another to create the illusion of an animated FMV.

Problem is I cannot figure out if it is possible to begin one object and have it animate until the end then when it ends to go to the next object without a break between the objects such as the first object reverting back to first frame or a blank room.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Using objects isn't really the best solution, but that said, it's probably the simplest method, and since you're posting in the beginner's forum I won't start giving other suggestions. However, there's no need to use multiple objects. When you run out of Loops in a View, you can use SetView


Could you please post the code you currently have? I think something like this would work fine:

Code: ags

object[0].SetView(1, 1, 1);
object[0].Animate(1, 1, eOnce, eBlock);
object[0].SetView(2, 1, 1);
object[0].Animate(1, 1, eOnce, eBlock);

(of course the object, view, loop and delay numbers should be changed according to the actual objects and animations used)

Thanks for the advice, I did not know you can change views for an object.

That is going to help a lot.
