[SOLVED] Only "Walk Up" animation showing in any walk direction

[Rik_Vargard]

Hello,

Well this never happened before.

- I created a new character NPC01
- I created the views etc.

NPC01 has to appear in the Room, then walk to the right and then FaceDirectionUp
But then this happens:

As you can see he's walking to the right but it's the Walk Up animation that's been used for some reason.
Here's the code; I even tried to force the Walk Right animation with cNPC01.Animate
Also, same thing happens when I make him walk to the left.

Code: ags

function room_Load()
{
 cNPC01.ChangeRoom (6, 36, 868, eDirectionRight);
}

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
  cNPC01.FaceDirection (eDirectionRight);
  //cNPC01.Animate (2, 5, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);
  cNPC01.Walk (1205, 959);
  //Wait(1);
  cNPC01.FaceDirection (eDirectionUp);
}

Any ideas?

Hah I finally discovered that the problem only happens in that room!

Because of this:

Code: ags

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
  player.SetWalkSpeed (25, 15);
  oArtPNG.Animate(0, 5, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);
  
  cNPC01.Walk (1913, 970, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  Wait(1);
  //cNPC01.FaceDirection (eDirectionUp);
  Wait(1);
}

The FaceDirection happens from the beginning and not after he's done walking.

NOW the question is :

How can I have him turn AFTER he's done walking, and then turn him again and have him walking back?

All "in the background"

 cNPC01.Walk (1205, 959);
  //Wait(1);
cNPC01.FaceDirection (eDirectionUp);

With a no blocking walk, the cNP01 direction faces up? as the face direction line is executed right after the walk line.

Maybe this?

Haha funny timing....  thanks a lot for the answer Pax Animo!!  Yes I found that out at last!

So now, how can I do this:

How can I have him turn AFTER he's done walking, and then turn him again and have him walking back?

There are more than a few ways to achieve this depending on intended use.

You could simply use a region which when the character walks onto directs the character to new coordinates. little code involved

There's also Character.AddWaypoint

Aye aye thank you very much, I can now move my NPC in the background!
