Idea for an animation.

Anyone know how to put an animation on something like lockers? I'm going to see about making several locker animations with posters and stuff on them to make them look more realistic

It's just an animated gif converted to FRM format, and played forwards or backwards by the engine.

I want known how made something like burn barrel- animated scenery.

I think burning barrel is not a real animation, it uses animated colors(blink) from fallout2.pal(but did not checked that).

Well once accidentally i made something like this when made new scenery. This was two pictures the same name but different number. Maybe its made like critters: something0001 ..0002

Wild_qwerty talked about animating with colors rather than frames here.

You can justm get an animated GIF or a series of BMP files and convert/combine them into an animated GIF.

It needs to have a script attached to play in game though, I think you need to add the script in the Fallout Mapper.

It's one of the simplest scripts there is: animate forever:

procedure map_enter_p_proc begin
reg_anim_begin();
reg_anim_animate_forever(self_obj, ANIM_stand);
reg_anim_end();
end

procedure map_update_p_proc begin
if (combat_is_initialized == 0) then
begin
reg_anim_begin();
reg_anim_animate_forever(self_obj, ANIM_stand);
reg_anim_end();
end
end

The script already exists, so in the mapper all you need to do is attach ANIMFRVR script to the object.

Cool, I thought it would be reasonably simple, I just didnt know if the script was already there, or if you had to make it
