hi
iam trying to loop an animation only in certain frames...
i needed to get at least a loop of 15 seconds this could make the character txt file very big
anim follow12
loop 0
delay 15
offset 101 190
bbox 0 0 0 0
@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    if(frame==20){ // set local variable at 1st frame
      setlocalvar("Flag" + self,1);
    }

ive tried the looper script but it doesnt have a start frame
void looper(int Frame, int Limit)
{// Loops current animation
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void loop = getlocalvar("Loop" + self);

    if(loop==NULL()){ // Localvar empty?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, 0);
      loop = 0;
    }
 
    if(loop < Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      updateframe(self, Frame); //Change frame
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, loop+1); // Increment number of loops
    } else if(loop==Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, NULL());
    }
}
Click to expand...

iam trying to avoid change the animation to another anim follow and loop it there...

anyone knows if it can be done ?

looper function doesn't have end frame actually cause it is declared at end of loop.
The 1st parameter defines frame to loop to while the 2nd one defines how many looping to be done before resuming the animation (NOT counting the 1st run)

So in your case it should be like this:

anim  follow12
  loop  0
  delay  15
  offset  101 190
  bbox  0 0 0 0
@script
    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    if(frame==20){ // set local variable at 1st frame
      setlocalvar("Flag" + self,1);
    }

I'm not sure how much value I should give for 2nd parameter but I assume you want it to loop for 10 times so excluding the 1st run, 2nd parameter should be 9.

I was trying to do this too,

How do I make it so walking anim will skip the first frame when looped?

So when you first walk it plays

frame 1
frame 2
frame 4
etc.

But when it loops after that it skips the first frame

frame 2
frame 3
frame 4
etc.

I diddn't quite understand the script to edit it accordingly.

Thanks, I thought there was something hardcoded for this.  My bad I was looking for a separate function when searching manual, forgot this is part of loop function. I kept thinking of 'looper' command than saw this post. 

The problem with me taking long breaks from modding, forget a lot of updates and revert to 2005 limitations :p

ive got it working but i cant make the 2nd parameter work

Click to expand...

the animation keeps looping forever and doesnt stop...
ive already changed the 2nd number to 2, 3, 5 but it doesnt seem to stop at end of 5 loops

Ah yes, there's a change in OpenBoR build which causes that bug.
To solve that, simpy edit looper function to this:

void looper(int Frame, int Limit)
{// Loops current animation
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void loop = getlocalvar("Loop" + self);

    if(loop==NULL()){ // Localvar empty?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, 0);
      loop = 0;
    }
 
    if(loop < Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, loop+1); // Increment number of loops
      updateframe(self, Frame); //Change frame
    } else if(loop==Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, NULL());
    }
}

I want to use this script but I'm not sure if it applies to exactly what I want to do.  I want to set a 5 second loop to start at frame 5 and skip frame 0 and go back to frame 1 and once the 5 seconds are up continue with the animation will this work for that?

You can use looper function that I posted above like this:

The looper function above replays 1st to 5th frames 49 times before it lets animations to play the remaining frames.
Total time of the 5 frames are 10 centiseconds. You want 5 seconds, so those 5 frames must be replayed for 500/10 = 50 times. Since those 5 frames would have been played once before looper function is run, it's set to 49 times (50-1)
