player.ani params

[xAndrewx]

Is there any way to set params using player.ani?

I've tried

PHP Code:

player.ani = "idle, block.png";
//(I've tried it without the space inbetween idle,block.png) 


but this just outputs

File download: idle, block.png.gani not found

setani(ganiname,parameter(s));
TServerPlayer.setani(str, str)

Yeah- but I don't want to use setani :[

(I would need to re-script most of the movement- i'm wondering if there is a solution)

Use attributes instead.

It's the preferred method. Assigning a string to player.ani (which is an object) is not the way you should do it. Do some search and replace on your movement and get used to setAni().

boo his boo-

Not using attrs as they can be laggy on iOS device. /cry

I just wanted to use a param to save iOS file space (instead of creating so many different gani's when just replacing the image)

thanks though guys <3

Tried directly modifying player.aniparams?

I don't see why it would be anymore laggy than storing a string in a parameter.

player.aniparams - wouldn't work.
By the looks of it, I couldn't modify it either.

Apparently ATTRs can cause lag, I'm sure Stefan said this :[

/cry only works on iDevices foo

Based on what I've heard, it's not anymore. Tig told me that Stefan (or one of his disciples) said to set it directly on iPhone servers (Ol West, Kingdoms iPhone) as it's faster or something. I agree that it's weird, since player.ani is supposed to be an object.

The problem is that player.ani is different on client-side and server-side.
On server-side it's just a string, and you can do player.ani = "aniname,params"; although you can also access player.aniparams separately.
On client-side it's an object, but you can assign a string to it to make it work similar as on server-side. This is the as with "profile = " assignments. On client-side it doesn't accept "aniname,params" though, but we can add that.
Using setani is a safe bet for now.

That's strange as **** :/

I find this weird as I'd imagine the difference in time between one such built-in function and assigning a variable to be somewhat negligible.
So if this really does make a significant difference, wouldn't it also be better to assign such variables as this.isblocking, this.visible and this.layer instead of using this.dontblock();, this.hide(); and this.drawunderplayer();?

That would be great- thank you <3
