Ped Animation

[DarkLink]

Hey guys I am trying to do a ped animation for only a few seconds , but seems that isnt working the time argument ?

okay so I made this:

  
setPedAnimation(source , "ped", "handsup", 5000, false, false, false, false) 
  

But after the 5 seconds the ped have the same animation

I could make a timer, and set animation to nil after those 5 seconds, but the time argument on function setPedAnimation should work right?

By the way, while the ped is on the animation he can move on a 360 degres circle using W,S,A,D .

Is there a way to freeze him with the animation without using setPedFrozen?

Thanks alot guys.

Cya.

U need to set a seperate timer, not in the setPedAnimation. SetTimer

Yes I know that I can do that, but its also possible with time argument of setPedAnimation doesnt it ?

It says on wiki this about the time argument:

time: how long the animation will run for in milliseconds.

So why is not working for me?

Thanks for your help

I had my problems with animations before, just use it as a full one, don't loop, and make your timer.

I'm not really sure that this time thing works in animations.

It doesnt. Thats why i said what i did. We couldnt get it working on SAUR

Ahhhh ! I understanded now will

Thanks alot guys both.

Thats a bug that needs to get fixed, wont be such difficult I guess

No problem

_setPedAnimation = setPedAnimation 
function setPedAnimation(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) 
     if tonumber(d) then 
           setTimer(setPedAnimation, tonumber(d), 1, a, false) 
     end 
     setPedAnimation(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) 
end 
setPedAnimation(source , "ped", "handsup", 5000, false, false, false, false) 
  

(Sorry, can't be arsed to write all the stuff..)

(Yes I know he fixed it, but what is the harm in providing an alternative )

Ahh I thats nice, I guess I understanted your code.

You changed the real function setPedAnimation to _setPedAnimation, and then you can your costum setPedAnimation function with time argument fixed right?

But I can just make a timer with 5 seconds and change animation to nil, I guess its easier

But thanks alot, and I think I understand u

Wait wouldn't that give infinite execution, saw a problem caused by that somewhere.

For cautions use that:

_setPedAnimation = setPedAnimation 
function setPedAnimation(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) 
     if tonumber(d) then 
           setTimer(_setPedAnimation, tonumber(d), 1, a, false) 
     end 
     _setPedAnimation(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) 
end 
setPedAnimation(source , "ped", "handsup", 5000, false, false, false, false) 

Same but changed it to _setPedAnimation , because it might give infinite execution.

Hm okay thanks jacob, but I guess is not false, is nil instead. for delete animation from ped

Thanks
