I never understood how Gani params work and still don't, explain.

Your best bet is to have fun with it.


Basically, treat the gani as an array. [Each param to that ''array'' is classed as the frame]

[killerogue]

...What?

[Chandler]

ganiName[1] = frame 1 of the ganiName gani
walk[0] = frame 0 of the walk gani.

Easier?

[Rapidwolve]

Kind of, I've already tried to learn. I've noticed that with gani params on the sprites inside of the gani it has a (#). Is that needed?

No idea if I explained that correctly

[cbk1994]

setAni( "GANINAME", PARAM1, PARAM2, PARAM3, [...] );

that explain?

In the gani script, use if (created) and then params[0], etc.
You have to use if (created) because onCreated as a function erases those params. To access the params in the gani, use PARAM1, PARAM2, PARAM3, PARAM4

for example, you could make a gani of a 32x32 image you want to drop for example, do this:
setCharAni( "dropitem", "block.png" );
than instead of in the gani putting an image when you add a sprite, put PARAM1.

Wait wait wait, What?

So basically I could use that for equipping things to my player like if I had custom bodies?

Like I could use that to set the images or something? Example:

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed( keynr, keyname )
{
  if ( keyname == "s" )
  {
    setani( "od_custom_swing", clientr.equippedWep[3] );
  }
} 


So it would swing with the current image that is set to that index of the clientr array set to the player of their currently equipped weapon?

Yes, thats how most servers do it, they have one gani and fixed images rather then alot of gani's. I just don't know how to read the param in the actual gani o-o

[killerogue]

Ho ho! I'm about to have a field day, I was planning on doing something similar to that but didn't know how! For loops will do just fine. =D

You're passing parameters to the GANI. Inside the gani, either through graalshop or notepad, you can access those parameters.
Like in Chandler's script he is passing the numbers 0-4, for each type of gralat. In the gani, the sprite being displayed is the number of the parameter. So if it's a green gralat, the number 0 is being passed as the parameter, and sprite 0 is being displayed. It's best to look at the gani's as well, so you can understand what they're being used for.

[cbk1994]

The sprite should be PARAM1.

then do
setAni( "ANINAME", "swordimage.png" );

then if all your swords use the same template, it's a hell of a lot less ganis.

[killerogue]

Yeah I get it now.

[theHAWKER]

whats this do?
and whats it for?

[Chandler]

The gralat class re-scripted.
