It's in the wiki!
setAnimFrames("anim_name", first_key, last_key)

1 2
Example:

You create an animation named "my_anim" with 15 frames.
Then use:
setAnimFrames("my_anim", 5, 8)

1 2
It will play animation "my anim" from frame 5 to frame 8.

If you want to freeze on last frame, you can do:
setAnimFrames("my_anim", 15, 15)

1 2
Good luck!

He also needs to include the actual setAnimFrame function inside of a definition script, can't forgot about that otherwise it won't do anything. It's a workflow I created & thus is not an internal function.

Add this inside of a definition script inside of the script section of the editor...
function setFrames(anim, a, b) if b == nil then b = a end -- fallback in case only a value was entered -- + -- ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationFirstFrame = a ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationLastFrame = b end

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Now to use this you would create an execute a script action part (wherever you need it - in an action block or inside of a specific frame of an animation).
setFrames("test", 3, 8) -- play / loop animation "test" between frame 3 to frame 8

1 2
or...
setFrames("test", 3) -- force animation "test" to play / loop frame 3 only

Sorry I'm beginner and couldn't still success.
I make new script in script editor and put this code there
setFrames(anim, a, b) if b == nil then b = a end -- fallback in case only a value was entered -- + -- ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationFirstFrame = a ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationLastFrame = b end

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
And put this code in frame 1 of standing animations (I have two frames, 0 and 1)
setFrames("right2", 1)

1 2
right2 is my name of right direction in standing animation

I haven't stop animation. where is my wrong?

Indeed I had forgotten the main definition script
Anyway...

TinTin:
“

Good! (make sure it is a definition script, not execution script)

“
And put this code in frame 1 of standing animations„
I think this is why it doesn't work: don't put this code inside the animation, and call it from somewhere else.
For example:
- on left click, execute script (copy/paste the code).
(There is an Action "Execute A Script" where you can write your own scripts)

Yes, you can put it in your animation.

The problem is that the editor says frame 0 but you can ignore that because the first frame index value is always 1, so the last frame of your 2 frame animation would be 2.
setFrames("right2", 1)

1 2
P.S: you actually want to add the execute a script action part containing the function & parameters into the frame that you want to stop it on. So add it to the final frame.

I make same method that you said.
1.I made a script0 in script editor and pasted :

setFrames(anim, a, b)
if b == nil then b = a end -- fallback in case only a value was entered
-- + --
ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationFirstFrame = a
ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationLastFrame = b
end

2.I pasted this code in frame 2 ( frame 1 in editor and it's last frame ). right2 is for standing animations :

setFrames("right2", 2)

It doesn't work even with 1 number too.

I have this log :

Implicit cast from 'int' to 'float'

Script local label
If use Tabletoolbar then label = "#Scripts" else label = nil end
Objectlist ("Visobjects",took 111 ms

Do all your characters use the same animation names? If you have multiple characters on screen at the same time & they all have the same animation names, then the engine may be struggling to determine which ActiveAnimation to access.

Would you mind sending me your ved & resource files? afrlme (at) outlook (dot) com.
