Solved Making an obstacle slowdown during "anim fall" then stop

[NED]

For some chair obstacle.
I have this problem in mind for some time now.

When the obstacle is hit, it slide out of screen (just like usual barels)

But I would like it to slide when it's "alive", then slowdown, then stop moving to go back to idle animation.
and only when it's "dead" (hit many times), it should break.

any suggestion?
thanks

Nice idea!!
dasher can do the job if you want to set it manually on each frame when the chair sliding

Why not give it a lot of life like 9000 but each time just before it returns to idle use damageentity to hit it by 1000 that way after 9 falls it will break.

Oh and dasher to make it slide and setidle to return it to idle or have a short risetime.

@machok @msmalik681 So. for the dasher part,
I should put it in the pain/fall anim ?
I understand what it will make ingame, but not what happens in code part.

My guess
Something like : idle -> pain anim (with a dasher inside) + a setidle -> idle
(am I right here ?)

Also, I suppose, I should get rid of "subtype flydie"

BTW, never heard of "setidle" I checked the manual, seems like a new command (I'm a bit outdated I think)

I am not sure if obstacle type can do many variation anim like pain etc since I only use obstacle type just for idle and fall when it dies
you can use Npc type or enemy type if you want more "complete" anim
just don't forget to add feature like nomove and stealth on header if you use npc/enemy type
or
if you still want to use obstacle type, I usually use facingpain script

Pain for obstacles + facing

This is a code to force obstacles to execute different custom animations when taking hit plus based on which side the hit comes from. == ANIMATIONS == IDLE FOLLOW1 (for facing right) FOLLOW2 (for facing left) For memory sake, we need to use two files - one is just to import the second, to...

for setidle, maybe add something like this:

anim    follow1
    loop    0
    delay    5
    offset    100 68
    bbox    75 15 74 59
    hitfx    data/sounds/kni1.wav

    offset    99 67
    frame    data/chars/misc/bonus/c3.gif
    offset    98 66
    frame    data/chars/misc/bonus/c3.gif
    offset    98 68
    frame    data/chars/misc/bonus/c3.gif
    offset    99 67
    frame    data/chars/misc/bonus/c3.gif
    offset    100 68
    @cmd    setidle getlocalvar("self") openborconstant("ANI_IDLE") 1

Thanks! I'll try something today... ^^
I just need "momentum" to start working on projects again.
Hope it will work.

Dasher is a animation script used in many games you will find it in the manual under the entity property under "velocity" and like I said if your chair is in a fall animation it will return to idle on rise or you can force it using "setidle" script command.

example dasher animation script.

void dasher( float Vx, float Vy, float Vz )
{// Dash with desired speed!
void self = getlocalvar("self");
    changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", getentityproperty(self,"direction") == 0 ? -Vx:Vx, Vz, Vy); //Move!
}
