Is it possible in WME to loop animation NOT from be first frame, but from... 10? If yes then how? 

[Mnemonic]

You'd need to use scripting for that. Sprites are scriptable so you can switch them to any frame programatically.

[Varrok]

I guessed that, but how exactly? 

[Net]

By head, I suggest to use event attribute of frame object of your sprite.

Then you'll be able to write some global function, where you may use GetEvent of frame object, which returns name of the event. So if you enters time value as event, you can use it to make your game automatically detect, if actual animation should be looped from the start or not.

Hope you get the point of this.

Or even simpler, use the FrameChanged event of the sprite.
Attach a new script to your sprite (in SpriteEdit), containing something like (untested):

Code: WME Script

1. on "FrameChanged"
2. {
3.   if(this.CurrentFrame == this.NumFrames - 1) this.CurrentFrame = 9;
4. }
5.  

You'll probably need to add a dummy frame to the end of animation though.

Will I see the difference in SpriteEditor preview? 
I attached script properly, but I see no results At least in SpriteEditor...

[Mnemonic]

No, SpriteEdit doesn't execute scripts.

[Varrok]

Thx so much! It solved the problem...
I have an other problem:
I have an animation: "Stand" and i want to start it any time character stops walking, but every time he stops, there is played only last frame of the animation... What should I do? 

(Sry 4 bad english, hope u'll understand that...)

Perhaps the idle actor script might help you.
