Syntax
anim (spriteBank, frame [, frame [, frame...]]);
Purpose
Creates an animation using the sprites in the spriteBank file. There must be at least one frame specified.
Each frame must be either a number (in which case the sprite will appear for one screen update only) or the return value from the wait function (which can be used to specify that a sprite should appear for longer than one screen update).
Valid values for numerical frame parameters (or the first parameter in a call to the wait function) are:
- Negative number outside range
- Horizontally flipped sprite number 0 from spriteBank
- Negative number in range
- Horizontally flipped sprite -frame from spriteBank
- Positive number in range
- Sprite number frame from spriteBank
- Positive number outside range
- Nothing
(The range of valid numbers is 0 to the number of sprites in spriteBank minus 1.)
Return value
The return value is the animation which has been created. This can then be used as part of a costume or applied to a character using the animate function.
Example
animate (ego, anim ('egoPickUp.duc', 0, 1, 2, wait (3, 10), 2, 1));
