How to add a animated sprite dynamicly

EDIT : Code to add dynamicly

$Player1 = CreateActor();

sceneWindow2D.loadLevel($CurrentLevel.FileName);

sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().addToScene($Player1);


This works like a bomb ;)

Thanks

Hi

In the TGB I Specify that the Class for my AnimatedSprite is "X" ,

then i've got this code :

function CreatePlayer()
{
return new t2dAnimatedSprite( :X)
{
class = X;
};
}

$Player1 = CreatePlayer();

But when I call $Player1.setLinearVelocityX(10) - it has no effect ?!

Please help
Thanks
Le Roi

Does your code compile without syntax errors? You've got a : in front of the X. And you might have to split that into two lines. Compacting code hinders readability and is error prone. You also need to specify a scenegraph for the sprite.
function CreatePlayer()
{
    %sprite = new t2dAnimatedSprite() { class = "X"; scenegraph = someSceneGraph; };
    return %sprite;
}
Good luck!

Hi

Thanks although that ":X" is what someone on the forums referred to as "Naming" - it allows me to use c++ like instances :

new t2dAnimatedSprite(Actor)
{
Controller = 0;
};

function CreateActor()
{
return new t2dAnimatedSprite( :Actor)
{
class = Actor;
animationName = "PlayerIdle";
class = "Actor";
position = "-31.7 -4.31";
size = "3.34 4.46";
Layer = "20";
CollisionPolyList = "-0.592 -0.847 0.639 -0.847 0.639 0.893 -0.592 0.888";
mountID = "3";
};
}

Thus I can create more than one instance of the base class "Actor" - and thus have unique Actors without hardcoding them at compile time - or something like that.

Anyways I got it working , thanks for the help
