Animations via Python?

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Sorry for bombing the forum with questions but I’m not sure if I understand this at all:

Currently I have a system that goes like this:
(armature is the armature of the player object)


if animation == 'idle': 
  armature.playAction('Idle', 1, 70, 1, 9, 5, 2, layerWeight, ipoFlags, speed) 
elif animation == 'walk': 
  armature.playAction('Walk', 1, 18, 1, 2, 5, 0, layerWeight, ipoFlags, speed) 
elif animation == 'jump': 
  armature.playAction('Jump', 1, 10, 1, 1, 5, 0, layerWeight, ipoFlags, 0.6)

But am I doing it wrong? It does work, but if anyone knows a better method I would love to know.

That’s pretty much what I do. I think a lot of those switches are optional though. Mine looks something like this:


    if own["Action"] == "Turn":
        own.playAction("TurnAround", 1, 61, layer=3, blendin=10, speed=spd, play_mode=0)
    elif own["Action"] == "GetHitFront":
        own.playAction("GetHitFront", 1, 31, layer=3, blendin=10, speed=spd, play_mode=0)

own.playAction(“Action_Name”,Start, End, layer, priority, blendin, play_mode)
