dont use image names use the name you gave the entity, the one that is listed in decorations.dat, in your case NPC01

just import your four frames through the editor, your idle frame will be imported as sprite slot 0 and death frames will be made into sprite slots 1 2 3. they will have correct names.

try this as NPC01.states

image NPC01 0 3

state IDLE NONE 0

frame 0 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 1 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 2 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 3 0.25 0 0 0 READY

state DEATH DEAD 0

frame 1 0.166 0 0 0 NONE

frame 2 0.166 0 0 0 NONE

frame 3 0.166 0 0 0 NONE

state DEAD NONE 0

frame 3 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

i don't know for sure if you have to declare the death and dead states, but i think you do. if you plan on killing your npcs then i don't think you can animate them since a decoration only can have four frames

Ok, i used your script and checked the names of the sprites again.

But had the same result.

To be sure, i made an extra sprite, named NPC01.

I think i will try it later with a decoration that has no numbers in the name. maybe that´s the problem?

my states file i copied this from was torch1.states

so number shouldn't matter

did you reimport the four frames from the editor to make sure that NPC01 has the correct frames declared for the entity?

you are usually better off reimporting images in the editor than just putting graphics in the folder yourself

Wait, i´m confused. Import the 4 frames for the Idle animation?

How can i import 4 frames just for Idle?

Ragnar Random3 years ago (2 edits)

no. do this.

image NPC01 0 3

this loads frame0 frame1 frame2 and frame3 (aka idle, death 1 2, corpse from the entity "NPC01" into memory

state IDLE NONE 0

frame 0 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 1 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 2 0.25 0 0 0 NONE

frame 3 0.25 0 0 0 READY

this declares that when the state "IDLE" happens, the entity should display the 4 frames (0 to 3) from "NPC01" and that each frame should be display for a quarter of a second, and finally that when the frame 3 is finished, the entiy is "READY" so it can become a new state (or repeat it's same state, so IDLE state will just run in a loop if you don't kill the NPC.

oh and also make sure your file in /States/ is "DecorationName.states" so NPC01.states

it is states with s at the end, not .state

i fucked that up when i first started using states

xxstyxx3 years ago

Ok, i´m so dumb.

You know what? I had everything right but the file extension.

I had NPC01.script in the States folder. XD

Thank you man!

You can import only 1 idle sprite and then paste the other sprites into Enemies folder. Then you can suggest them in states.

Ragnar Random3 years ago

oh so you could have an npc with way more animations that way. never thought of that.

NPC01.states
