Title: Actor back to default animation
Post by: The Man on April 11, 2013, 12:13:56 PM

I know it will sound stupid to most of you, but I've got this problem...

I need my actor to change his idle animation after a certain action and to obtain this I used the code:

Code: [Select]

actor.SetSprite("actors/Lars/ul/defaultposter.sprite");

The problem is I don't know how to go back to normality! If I use this code the actor will ALWAYS use "defaultposter.sprite".
Probably there must be a simple function to obtain what I need, but I can't find it!
Can somebody give me a help?

How a something like

Code: [Select]

if (condition_met == false)
  {
   actor.SetSprite("actors/Lars/ul/defaultposter.sprite");
  }
else
 {

actor.SetSprite("actors/Lars/ul/other.sprite");

}

where condition_met is a global

But if I use again SetSprite the problem persist because the actor will use THAT sprite("other") for every standing animation...

To reset the value, just use actor.SetSprite(null);
