How do I wait for a framenumber before changing animations

I am looking to wait until an animation runs through it's entire frame cycle before changing to another animation.

The first animation is on a loop and has 18 frames in it's animation.

At any point the second animation may trigger, and I need the event to wait until the first animation gets to 18 before it sets the new animation.

Is this possible?

You can compare the frame number and there is also a "on animate completed" condition. Either of them could be used.

Can you show me a quick example of the loop you would do to achieve this?

I am thinking when animation change is triggered, wait until frame = 18 then set new animation,

I am uncertain how to do this loop in construct 2

Also when looking through events I was unable to find the on animation complete in the list?

What about if you give the sprite an instance variable (text) and call it something like newAnimation. Then in events:

• when you want to trigger animation 2, ie a shooting animation: set sprite.newAnimation to "Shooting"
• first animation frame = 18 & sprite.newAnimation != "": set animation to sprite.newAnimation, set sprite.newAnimation to ""

Basically every time it gets to frame 18 in animation 1 it checks to see if you've put the name of another animation into the newAnimation variable - if you have, it plays the new one and blanks the variable, otherwise, nothing happens and it keeps playing animation 1.

Thanks mikehive, worked a charm
