Playing View Loop according to variables

[RenatoDias]

Strictly speaking, AGS does have its own language. It's based on C++ and Java though.

For what you want, all you need to do is put this in the room's before fadein:

Code: ags

  cGirl.LockView(VIEW_NUMBER);
  cGirl.Animate(8, DELAY, eRepeat, eNoBlock);

In the untie interaction, call

Code: ags

  cGirl.UnlockView();

which will revert her frame handling to automatic standing/walking.

Neat. So, this code will keep looping? Nice. But, what if I put it AFTER fadein? Will it have any difference during the game when the player enters that room?
And just a cGirl.UnlockView(); function resets the character to the normal loops? That's really cool. Anyway, thanks to both you(Khris) and Crimson Wizard for helping me there. Thanks...

I just wanted to throw out there I thought he was making a on/off trigger for an animation. :x

There will be difference in how fast the animation starts. This also depends on Fade-in type you are using in your game. If animation starts before fade-in, then it will play during fade-in (when screen changes from black to room gradually). Sometimes it makes the difference, and sometimes it doesn't.
