Capture currentframe to a variable and load problem

[Kuldur]

Hey all AM tech heads out there,

I'm working on quite an intricate inventory system atm. Which is devoid of the inbuilt AM Inv system because I'm using the Cubic Panorama plugin.

My problem is I am trying to capture a current frame name to a variable and have a button in the inventory when clicked will take me to that current frame that was captured by the variable.. but I'm not sure quite how to enter the script... for example:

'the capture script on every frame is;

current_frame_store = Action.GetCurrentFrameName


Thats not the problem but when I come to recall that frame to load what do I use? This is what I have at the moment..


Action.GoToFrame 'current_frame_store',0.4,2

But wont load 'current_Frame_store' as it has to be a file name and not a variable...

Now, I would use the inbuilt 'go to previous frame' but thats no good when it comes to examing items on another frame from my inventory. Because then I get stuck and it cycles between frames of the inventory rather than exiting back to the game frame that was caputred with the variable...

Any ideas would be most appriecated...

Hello,

Just use the following code, and it should work (without the quotes around current_frame_store):

Code: Select all

Action.GoToFrame current_frame_store,0.4,2

Now, I would use the inbuilt 'go to previous frame' but thats no good when it comes to examing items on another frame from my inventory. Because then I get stuck and it cycles between frames of the inventory rather than exiting back to the game frame that was caputred with the variable... Any ideas would be most appriecated...

You can use the freePlugin for going back from a multi-page inventory or help that you can find here.

By the way, if you analyse how the plugin works, it works exactly as you described.
