player.head

[oralgnome]

how would you select the 2nd frame of player.head? instead I get the first 4 frames

i'm using an emitter to show the player's head

PHP Code:

function onTimeout(){
    setTimer(0.05);
        with (findimg(100)) {
        x = player.x;
        y = player.y;
        layer = 1;
        emitter.delaymin = 0.1;
        emitter.delaymax = 0.2;
        emitter.nrofparticles = 1;
        // Basic particle attributes
        emitter.particle.lifetime = 3;
        emitter.particle.image = player.head;
        emitter.particle.mode = 1; // alpha transparent
        emitter.particle.alpha = 0.5;
        emitter.particle.zoom = 1;
        // Movement
        emitter.particle.speed = 0.2;
        emitter.addlocalmodifier("range", 1, 3, "alpha", "replace", 0.8, 0);
        emitter.addlocalmodifier("once", 0, 0, "spin", "replace", 2, 4);
  }
}

player.head - the image name of the player's current head.

You can draw the 'down' image of the head like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    x = player.x;
    y = player.y - 2; // Just drawing it above player for now...
    image = player.head;
    temp.dir = 2;
    // Isolate the Head X: 0 Y: 32 * direction
    partx = 0;
    party = 32 * temp.dir;
    partw = parth = 32; // Width and Height of Head is 32 pixels
  } 
}

i can't just do emitter.particle.image = findimg(index); though because it won't grab any of the attributes

emitter.particle.image wants an image name not an object/TShowImg. It's partx/y/w/h that 'isolates' it to the one sprite. I don't think part works with emitter.particle though.

I don't know if it's possible to do what you want to do with particle emitters.

I believe there is something else for particles that basically does the same as partx, party, partw and parth, but I can't remember what it was.
