tipps for animation script?

hi everybody

i've got a problem with my animation. i created a png with 18 frames, which works fine for a normal animation in a loop with 100ms per frame.

but now i'd need to show some frames longer than others, so i guess i'll need to make a scripted animation, but i don't have a clue how that works...

could you help/tell me how such a script is made?

actually i want to show every frame for 100ms exept for frames 1, 7 and 13, which should be shown for 5000 ms.

thanks a lot!

while you're waiting for the scripting help:

duplicate frames 1, 7 & 13 49 more times so you have 50 frames each - run the animation at your 100ms

i thought of that too, but since every frame is 1000 pixels wide it is imposbile to do so...corel draw cant make documents with a width greater than 30'000 pixels

but i made another animation for the time, now lets see if there is a possibility to delay animations...

I think this might work for you, aspa. Be sure static is unchecked, and scripted is checked in the animation tab. Also, change the 'numofFrames' variable to your total amount of frames.

Code: vbscript
Dim t, numofFrames
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
	'Set timer, current frame and variables
	object.settimer 1,100
	object.currentframe = 0
	t = 0
	numofFrames = 50
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
	'If animation reaches the end, kill timer
	If t = numofFrames Then
		object.KillTimer 1
	'Else add one to frames count
	Else
		t = t + 1
	End If
	'Set current frame
	object.currentframe = t
	'If on specific frame, kill timer
	'Set delay timer
	Select Case t
		Case 1,7,13,49
			object.killtimer 1
			object.settimer 2,5000
	End Select
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer2
	object.killtimer 2
	object.settimer 1,100
End Sub
