Search a word in animation names.

I was looking for a way to check if a sprite has a certain word for at least one of all its animation names in an event.

I found this post on the forum --> https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/search-animation-names-172085

dop2000said:

AnimationName expression returns only the current animation. There is no way to retrieve the list of all sprite animations. (except for calling internal C3 methods from Javascript, which is not recommended)

I would like to know why he said that is not recommended?

What is the script to do it?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't work that way.

getAllAnimations() is an array. Here are the names of the first 2 animations:

runtime.objects.Cannon.getAllAnimations()[0].name

runtime.objects.Cannon.getAllAnimations()[1].name

getAllAnimations() is an array. Here are the names of the first 2 animations:

runtime.objects.Cannon.getAllAnimations()[0].name

runtime.objects.Cannon.getAllAnimations()[1].name

But I would like to assign the local variable string "allAnmt" so that it countains all the animations of the sprite, is it possible?

Because what I get now is just empty spaces separated by comma.

As many commas as there are animations -1. But there are no names. Why?

With your script I select the animation at that index. I want to get the names of all the animations.

You can ask chatgpt all Javascript-related questions, it's pretty good.
