maximum animation number

I was just wondering if there was a max number of animations for sprites? I was wanting to make at least 1000 or more, was just wondering before I went and did it

There are no limits on anything like this as far as I'm aware. The real question is why you'd want that many.

yeah, that's gonna be a crazy amount of vram

doesn't matter anymore, I'll just use thousands of frames instead

It is of course infinite, but what are you making with 1000 frames?

I'm using the sprite as a tile, which can load external images. Each frame is a different tile

did you get this to work? I cant seem to get it to load more than 1 frame

You probably have to force the sprite to the frame before it loads it. I guess that would mean you would have to have an existing frame in the sprite as well.

Yea - got to figuring that out heh; It'd be really nice to be able to dynamically import frames ;(

I checked this out a bit. I was thinking you would need to time it per tick, but it seems to work fine with one event. So there's probably no reason why you couldn't use a loop for all of it.

System: 1Start of layout

SpritePause current animation

SpriteSet animation frame to 2

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0001.bmp"

SpriteSet animation frame to 3

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0002.bmp"

SpriteSet animation frame to 4

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0004.bmp"

SpriteSet animation frame to 5

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0005.bmp"

SpriteSet animation frame to 6

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0006.bmp"

SpriteSet animation frame to 7

SpriteLoad frame from AppPath&"attack e0007.bmp"

loading all the frames at a time is a good idea, that works much nicer <img src="http://www.create-games.com/images/smile.gif">
