Frames that only play on a certain condition

Feature Suggestions
#1

I’m trying to animate a moving clip and I want to make certain frames only play when I press < or > down. And I haven’t found any way to do this. Either make a command for this or give me some code that can help me create what I want

Hi @Cleetus_Kernel,

there is code available to read keypresses, and code to jump to a certain frame. Both are in the tutorials. Is there a reason this does not fit your needs?

regards,

Paul

To play a clip you’d need to write this code:

if(isKeyDown(‘space’)){
this.play();
}

Swap the bolded words to fit your needs - this should be swapped with the name of the clip, while the whole keyDown function could be changed - for example, just go to the mouseclick function of the clip itself and type in - this.play();

hope that helped!

when I try holding down >, it stays stuck on one frame and doesn’t move on.

@Cleetus_Kernel would it be ok to send a copy of what that looks like as a .wick file? I might be able to find the problem and re-code it

I fixed some parts thanks to you(Thanks!) but there one more problem. The character will do its clip animation but not the keyboard controls.

It’s exactly what I need! Thanks you very much! Honestly, I can never thank you enough for this! In a few weeks I will finish enough to the point that it can have beta testing! Would you like to try it out one day?

I’m sure it’ll end up great

There might be a delay due to the walls and character malfunctioning.

help with anything, just let
us know! :+1:

I’ll have finish the demo in August because I have an animation due July. In the Meantime, you can subscribe to my new animation channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqU-F6y-_NjfDO2O-g0XDxQ?
