Animations?

Animations?

How would one code a line to show an animation as an image? Heres what I got so far but no luck

this.pictureBox2.Image = Ultima.Animations.Translate(1);

If someone could show me the basics I can figure out how to do the rest thx

Translate is just for translating the body Id. You can then put the body id into GetAnimation to get the frames for the animation. The image is shown from a specific frame.

This gets action 4 (I forget what that is now) for body type 987 (Counselor/GameMaster), facing North, with hue 0x8485 (deep red). Put this into a form with a picturebox and it will show the first frame.

Frame[] frames = Animations.GetAnimation(987, 4, 1, 0x8485, true);
this.pictureBox1.Image = frames[0].Bitmap;

worked perfectly, thx. but on making it animate would I run a loop through the array?

Just increase the value of the array there yeah, can use a timer or whatever to get the speed you want.

( example: )

private int currentFrame = 0;

Inside a timer:

this.pictureBox1.Image = frames[currentFrame].Bitmap;
currentFrame++;
