hi all.

i have downloaded the free stuff of CosmicProphet. so i wanted to use the traffic light. In the download files i do not have the script for the traffic light. So i want to make my own script. i have used the ai_viewanimations the see the animation frames. the frames from 0 to 918 is the one's i want to use. i have change the frames in the fpe to :
;Animationinfo
animmax = 1
anim0 = 0,918

my script that i want to use is this:


But it does not work. . Please can someone tel me what am i doing wrong.
i want the traffic light just to loop the animation from 0 to 918 constantly when the player is in range.
i have tried the loop function also, but it do not work.

Thanks for any help.

You need to have a toggle flag:

toggle = true

....

if g_Entity[e]['plrvisible'] == 1 then
if toggle then
toggle = false
     LoopAnimation(e)
end
else
toggle = true
end

@AmenMoses. thank you my friend , its woorking perfect .
but if possible can you explain to me why one need the togle flag,
Sorry i ask.

Because without it the call to LoopAnimation (or PlayAnimation) was being called every frame.

Always remember that the code in the _main part is being called every frame so it you want something to happen only once or periodically, on a timer for example, you need to put some logic around it to achieve that.

Ah ok. make sence. thanks again.
