hi everyone I need help for the life of me I have tried everything, but I can't seem to make spikes I made make the animation of going up and down.
In the spike.mdl I gave it a couple of animations called spikeup 1, spikeup 2, spikeup 3 etc, ect. Yet I placed the spike.mdl in my game and gave it a script of.

Quote:

---

var spikeup_percent=0;
action spike_1
{
spikeup_percent=(spikeup_percent+5*time)%100;
ent_animate(me,"spikeup",spikeup_percent,ANM_CYCLE);
my.enable_impact=ON;
my.event=lev_2_event;
}

---

Yet when I run the game the spikes don't play the animation I also tried putting

while(1)
{
ent_cycle("spikeup", my.skill1);
}

and no dice.
it plays the animation only on the instance that I don't give the spike model and action, yet I want that when I touch it I go to the first level.
I would appreciate any help.

Code:

---

function load_lev_2()
{
  freeze_mode = 1;
  load_level("level2.wmb");
  wait(3);
  freeze_mode = 0;
}

function lev_2_event()
{
  if(event_type == event_impact || event_type == event_entity)
  { 
    if(you == player)
    {
      load_lev_2();
    }
  }
}

action spike_1
{
  my.skill1 = 0; //used as animation counter

  my.enable_impact = on;
  my.event_entity = on;
  my.event = lev_2_event;

  while(me)
  {
    my.skill1 += 5 * time;
    my.skill1 %= 100;
    ent_animate(me,"spikeup",my.skill1,anm_cycle);
  
    wait(1);
  }
}

Oh you should change the names of your animations though.
Remove the space between the frame name and the number.
like:
spikeup1
or spikeup01

thanks thunder I wrote it just like you said but it gives me error

Maybe you´ve forgotten a semicolon. Post your 49th, 50th and 51th line of code, then we´ll see what´s wrong.

I don't think thats it it tells me the problem is in <my.event_entity = on;>
but heres what I put, I also change the frame names like Thunder told me, I made them, spikeup1, spikeup2, spikeup3.

Insteat of "my.event_entity = on;" try it with "my.enable_entity = on;"
But this is the only thing I can see so far...

Oh yeah fogman is right, my bad.
just a typo I meant "my.enable_entity = on;" sorry for that

cool it works, thanks Thunder and fogman for your help.
