Setting Chat Animations with Dialog - Noesis - 23.07.2012

Hello, so I am very new at scripting for SA-MP. I started scripting basic animations and dialogs. I now want to combine these two, but am unsure how to go about it.

What I would like to do is have a zcmd that brings up a dialog. From this dialog, a person can pick what animation will occure when he/she talks.

I've seen some code about setting animations to OnPlayerText, but I don't know how to connect that piece of code with my Dialog code.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Little bump before work.

Like I said above, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

well, you'll have to make a variable witch will keep in mind witch player-animation the player have selected.
so do a varialbe like
new talktype[MAX_PLAYERS];
and on the dialog you'll set the type to the talktype, like:
talktype[playerid] = listitem;
Or how how you want to do it.
and on the player text you'll set the animtype to the talktype like
public OnPlayerText{
//your old code here
switch(talktype[playerid]){
case 1:SetAnimation(playerid, blablabla other parameters and stuff);//first animation
case 2:SetAnimation(playerid, blablabla other parameters and stuff);//2nd animation
//and here you just fill upp with all your different animations
}
Hope i helped, ask if you need more help and I'll see if I see it

I'll start working with this tonight! Thank you for the help!

Okay so I have everything working perfectly thanks to the SA-MP forums, but I forgot one detail.

I don't want the talking animation to occur if they are already in an animation, like /sit.

I tried using GetPlayerAnimationIndex, but now it's not evening using the talking animation at all.

Part of code in question:

Code:

 case 1:
               {
                 if(!IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
                  {
                    if(GetPlayerAnimationIndex(playerid) != 0)
                    {
                     }
                      else
                       {
                        ApplyAnimation(playerid,"MISC", "Idle_Chat_02" ,4.0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
                        SetTimerEx("StopTalking", strlen(text)*200, 0, "i", playerid);
                       }
                  }
                }

You are checking if an animation IS Being used, and if it is, you would do the animation.

Switch it with this:

pawn Code:

case 1:
{
    if(!IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
    {
        if(GetPlayerAnimationIndex(playerid) == 0)
        {
        }
        else
        {
            ApplyAnimation(playerid,"MISC", "Idle_Chat_02" ,4.0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
            SetTimerEx("StopTalkinga", strlen(text)*200, 0, "i", playerid);
       }
    }
}

All I changed was GetPlayerAnimationIndex(playerid) != 0 to GetPlayerAnimationIndex(playerid) == 0

(NOTICE: I could be wrong, quite sleepy right now

My talking animation works again, but now it stands the character up if he's sitting.

Still not working as intended. Thanks for trying though

Little bump before work like last time.

Re: Setting Chat Animations with Dialog - Kindred - 24.07.2012

Pretty sure my above post was wrong.

Try this:

pawn Code:

case 1:
{
    if(!IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
    {
        if(GetPlayerAnimationIndex(playerid) == 0 && GetPlayerSpecialAction(playerid) == SPECIAL_ACTION_NONE)
        {
            ApplyAnimation(playerid,"MISC", "Idle_Chat_02" ,4.0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);
            SetTimerEx("StopTalkinga", strlen(text)*200, 0, "i", playerid);
        }
        else
        {
        }
    }
}

This should check if the players animation AND players special action isn't in use, which will then do the chat animation.

You may have been doing SPECIAL_ACTION_SITTING or something.
