Randomized idle animations?

Hello!

I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple idle animations that can be triggered after a few seconds of being idle?

Me and my friend are very new to Construct, and the whole game development team, and random idle animations are always nice to see in games.

We have a default standing animation, and another idle animation where our character is looking around the screen tapping his foot. There both GIFS.

If anyone has any advice, or tips to help us, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

Sure is possible.

You could name each animation idleN with n being 1,2,3,etc.

then when you want to set the animation, use the action

set animation to idle&ceil(random(whatever)). The ceil makes it an integer

and the & just converts the number value into a string.

Hopefully that helps! Welcome to C2 ;)

Dude, thankyou! This has had me frustrated for about two hours :)

Thankyou :D
