Set frame range error [SOLVED]

  • #1, by red363Thursday, 18. May 2023, 17:38 12 months ago
    Hello.
    I am using script to select animation frame:
    https://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/SetAnimFrames_(CMS)

    Everything works, but for some reason it causes a repeating error:

    18:19:03.606:stack traceback:
     [C]: in metamethod 'newindex'
     [string "(30,57)"]:9: in function 'setAnimFrames'
     [string "(8,33905)"]:17: in main chunk
    18:19:03.606:Unknown data-field "FirstFrame" for object (-1,-1) Unnamed.
    18:19:03.607:1
    18:19:03.607:stack traceback:
     [C]: in metamethod 'newindex'
     [string "(30,57)"]:8: in function 'setAnimFrames'
     [string "(8,33905)"]:18: in main chunk
    18:19:03.607:Unknown data-field "LastFrame" for object (-1,-1) Unnamed.

    and so on...

    My script is placed in the first frame of object animation (call action function):

    local val = Values["choice"].Int
    if val == 1 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 2)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    elseif val == 2 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 2)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    elseif val == 3 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 2)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    elseif val == 4 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 2)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    elseif val == 5 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 2)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    elseif val == 6 then
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 2)
    else
    setAnimFrames("char1", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char2", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char3", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char4", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char5", 1)
    setAnimFrames("char6", 1)
    end


    Can you suggest what could be the problem??
    Thanks

    It's either trying to access something that doesn't exist, or it's trying to access an active animation that's not actually active or isn't loaded yet.

    Also instead of that massive list of else if, why didn't you consider using a table or using iteration?
    for i = 1, 6 do

 if Values["choice"].Int == i then

  setAnimFrames("char"..i, 2)

 else

  setAnimFrames("char"..i, 1)

 end

end

    Thank you. In my case, this is an animation that is not yet loaded / active.

    Tables... I don't know how to work with that. Will be studying

    The code I shared wasn't a table. It was a short iteration method example using the for loop, which does the same as your if else queries, except it's much less code. wink

    Yes, I got it, thanks. Very handy for these occasions

    Can this error create any problems? reduce performance? 
    So everything works...

    This solutionis convenient to use for "highlighting" items in the inventory (so as not to highlight empty cells)...

    Is it possible to track in the inventory whether the cell is filled with an item or not?

    For example:
    click to placeholder for items:
    if placeholder is full - do something (animation)
    else - nothing

    1. The log messages are just warnings, so they shouldn't really impact performance, however it would be ideal to try & remedy the issues so that you don't have any warnings/errors being generated - add a small pause or something before trying to force the animation frames in whatever method you are using to prevent it trying to update them before they've all started playing. Or you could add the code directly into the frames themselves as that way they will definitely be playing when the code is executed.

    2. You could use the mouse event handler to check if an object exists below the cursor & that it's an item. Another thing you could do is use code to check how many items exist in the character inventory & set a value to that so you can check how many slots are filled up.

    Values["example"].Int = #game.CurrentCharacter.Items

    Cool, thanks a lot! This is a great option
