How to make en Explosion anim

[Bijulinus]

How can I put a short animation in a room?
I want something to explode when I touch it...
...if I cant animate an object, how may I do?

Why can't you animate the object? It's possible with AGS.  Just draw a non-exploded object,. a fulyl exploded object and then a half-exploded object. Fill in with more in-betweens if you like. Then put the sprites in order in a view, set the object to have that view and then assign that view to your object...

And with the latest beta version having GIF anim import, it is even easier: just find a GIF on the web and rip it: e.g.

But wait... how can I change the VIEW?
oh... I fear I've an outdated AGS version... 2.60...
because I dont know how to change the VIEW (not the image).

You mean SetObjectView (int object, int view)?
(or Object - Set object view number in the interaction editor)

Yes, great. At first I thought there was an option in the editor, and I felt very stupid    thanks

You know it's all in the manual...

For reference, animating the object one you touch it goes with AnimateObject...

On more questions regarding this kind of simple issues, I suggest you RTFM, aka read the manual first

Yes, please do before asking any questions. And the BFAQ. And the tutorials. And the resources in the forum rules thread.
