When you use this command is it necessary to check the direction of the baddy? And since the baddy is not a showcharacter how can you check which direction the baddy is facing in the first place?

Or would actually making it a showcharacter and then using setcharani on it work well enough?

If you are cool with the baddy being basically 32x32, showcharacter seems to be the way to go.

If not, you could emulate the whole thing with a bunch of clientside showanis and manually keeping track of the direction, I guess.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  this.ani = "myidle";
  onMovementFinished();
}
function onMovementFinished()
{
  if ( shouldMove() )
  {
    // move again
    this.ani = "mywalk";
  }
  else
  {
    this.ani = "myidle";
    scheduleevent( 1, "MovementFinished"", "" );
  }
} 


Something like that has always worked for me. showcharacter() isn't neccesary.

Do you not get funny blocking behaviour without showcharacter?
