Easy Animation Tool
Making it save.
Please add this feature, it shouldn't be that difficult either.


I'll even add an example on how to do it. it should really be this simple for you.
ENTITY-NAME - ANIMATION >> FILE.TXT
when open, get FILE.TXT
PARSE FILE.TXT INTO ENTITY $GRAB FILE.TXT :steamsad:

So... how can I save anim? Do you know?
miningmaster99 Dec 19, 2017 @ 6:42pm 
Yes using lua you could build a script that exports associated references to animations in a log file and load it later when a user clicks a code snippet also made in lua, e.g. a batch file which will run those associations.

It is a pity that I do not know how to use lua scripts. Are there any better ways?
miningmaster99 Dec 23, 2017 @ 7:52pm 
Not without using direct source code that I can think of, but there are surely worse ways that don't involve lua... please don't use those ways.

I made some small code snippets to help you out.
-- this is a comment it'll be ignored by the compiler

-- this snippet below will read from an external file
local f = io.open(filename,r)
print(f:read("*a"))


-- this snippet below will write to a lua log external file
local filehandle = io.open(filename[, mode])
local filehandle = io.open("Log.txt", "w+")
filehandle:write(ObjName, "Obj: ", tostring(ObjAnim), "\n") --might be somewhat wrong.
filehandle:close()

-- this will select all of your objects
os.execute("nav_select_radius 3000") -- may not work properly without editing first

-- Good luck!

I'm sorry if I came off a little strong when I made this post I wasn't trying to sound like a ♥♥♥♥ it just kinda seemed that way, so really I'm sorry if that's how it felt but I truly would love to see this feature added.

if you need to replace strings of text use gsub, if you want to delete specific chars use sub.
did any of this help you?

is there a way to program animations to a button?
miningmaster99 May 28, 2018 @ 7:22pm 
does that relate to making it save?
miningmaster99 Dec 27, 2019 @ 4:14pm 
its been like a year now and animations still can't be saved.
