One more suggestion

It would be nice to have an ExecuteScript function or procedure in our disposal to use with a plugin for example... It would be a great feature in a future update...

I know I 'm a pain in the neck

What do you mean exactly? Isn't that possible already with the "CreateTimedEvent" function?

Hey kiddo..~..Are you speaking of one of those "Automatic" features..where it executes the script for you..I think there's a topic here somewhere about this..something to do with, another game engine, that has this function..Basically where the user may enter, "Action"--and a list comes up of possible actions you can preform..

If not..hey that would be cool..

Peace

Well Chromegloss, as you will see if you examine the plugin I already used that way to execute script.

By execute script I mean give some script as text and have it executed. It's useless in the common usage of AM but very usefull when creating plugins.

Yes I've seen it!

Good call too.

I may be tempted to remove the 'Go To Frame' feature. But then again, it seems a bit mean for people who don't know how to script, so I'll probably leave it in.

Anyway...

It's actually a very useful little technique, so I'll just post it here:

Code: Select all

If scripttoexec <>"" then Action.CreateTimedEvent Time, scripttoexec,False

Where Script is a variant variable of subtype string and Time is a variable an integer or a numeric subtype of a variant.

I'm not sure if there's another way to do it, but that way seems perfectly fine...

yep. I prefer to enter time in milliseconds and divide by 1000 so that the user can have timed events of less than a second:

If scripttoexec <>"" then Action.CreateTimedEvent (Time/1000), scripttoexec,False

If I set time to 100, the event will be:
If scripttoexec <>"" then Action.CreateTimedEvent 0.1, scripttoexec,False

The lowest value is 10.

[Chromegloss55]

The highest value is 29 (I think)...
