issue with variables and animations

I've got one global variable 'door' to controll animations for opening/closing doors

+ 'door' = 0

-> set animation to "idle"

+ 'door' = 1

-> set animation to "idle2"

+ 'door' = 2

-> set animation to "open"

-> set animation frame to 1

-> play animation

+ 'door' = 3

-> set animation to "close"

-> set animation frame to 1

-> play animation

for 0 and 1 is fine couse it's only 1 frame long animations, but for 2 and 3 it only plays first frames of their animations...

but if you add one more value, so 'door's = 4 it starts to play "close" animation from 'door'=3

am i missing something in that code?

Here's the file: door.cap

Add a "Trigger Once" condition to the global variable comparison events so the actions a done only once when true. As it is now, every tick sets the animation so the the multiframe animation don't get a chance to play.

actually i just solved that heh

I've changed values from 0,1,2,3 to 1,2,3,4 and then

+ 'door' = 3

-> set animation to 'open'

-> set animation frame to 1

-> play animation

-> set 'door' to 0

it play's animation normally now, and helps me with other things

eh, never though about that, but now i can see a point in that.

if 'door' = 3 -> set frame to 1 -> play animation

Construct will loop that sequence every tick so only frame 1 will be played all over again - it's so obvious

thanks for that tip R0J0hound
