anim backdeath not working

[oldyz]

basically , i have a barrel -
if it only has has anim idle &anim fall - if you hit it from righjt to left, it will fly to the left blinking, hit it from left to right, it will fly to the right blinking
unfortunately it cant spawn, summonframe o spawnframe anything correctly with anim fall - so i had to change it to this:

name barelX
type obstacle
#lifespan 3
health 1
gfxshadow 1
#facing 2
backpain 1
noatflash 1
flash bflash
noquake 1
#nodieblink 1
diesound data/sounds/drum.wav
bounce 1
nolife 1
jumpheight 3
load mutant2Xtest
load barelex2
animationscript data/scripts/spawn.c

    if( frame == 0){
      int r = rand()%30;
      if( r > 11){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", 4);
      } else if( r < -10){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", 9);
      } else if( r < 0){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", 0);
      } else if( r > 0){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", 13);
      }
    }

using death & jumpframe things are better - the only problem is, i can't make it do its backdeath animation - if you hit the barrel from right to left - it still  does the normal animdeath and do a jump/die to the right-
in this example i can verify for sure because if it would die towards the left or do its backdeath, the barrel would turn into an axe graphic

I see that you have activated the trigger

  backpain 1

but try to add

death 1

too in your entity header to see if the backdeath is accepted.

thanks kimono
Turns out the barrel has to be declared an enemy or an NPC, if its an obstacle "backdeath" does not work.

Now i have a new problem , i need to implement more than one "jumpframe" its supposed to be done using script , anyone has it?

This function can replace jumpframe:

void dasher( float Vx, float Vy, float Vz )
{// Dash with desired speed!
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int dir = getentityproperty(self,"direction");

    if(dir==0){ // Facing left?
      Vx = -Vx ;
    }

    changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", Vx, Vz, Vy); //Move!
}
