PlayIdle - Actor

Member of: Actor Script

Plays the idle passed.

Syntax

bool Function PlayIdle(Idle akIdle) native

Parameters

• akIdle: The idle form to whose animation to play on this actor.

Return Value

True if the idle was successfully loaded and played, false otherwise.

Examples

; Start Hadvar's flute animation
 if Hadvar.PlayIdle(fluteIdle)
   Debug.Trace("Hadvar is playing his flute!")
 else
   Debug.Trace("Something went wrong")
 endIf

Notes

Too many things can happen while you are attempting to play an idle, so make sure to gracefully handle all circumstances. Never use the structure "play idle, wait for event" - this will inevitably cause your script to get stuck forever when some other code or script overrules your idle.
