animatedlayer on mouseover

[mc^^^^]

how do i make a door like thing that slides open when the mouse passes over the door, to reveal a number of buttons underneath? is there a quick way or does it have to have a script, if it needs a script can i have it a multiple script so i can just define what to do in the xml and have the single script be used by multiple doors?

i have tried this by going through other skins but failed.

Make two layers (for the door)

And in the script load these, and use OnMouseOver ;)

[mc^^^^]

what?

onmouseover="door.link.to.elements"
onmouseout="door.otherlink.to.element"


if this is right what about the animation part?

[Naamloos]

I think something like :
-defining door

-onmouseover move door up

-onmouseout move door down (I dunno if it's possible)

something like that

[mc^^^^]

i dont know where that goes in a script or xml, that doesnt sound right (not that i know), anyone else that knows?

Can be achived with scripting.

layer.onEnterArea() {
// hide or show or animate some layers
}

layer.onLeaveArea() {
// hide or show or animate some layers
}

It *really* depends on what you want to do and how you want to do it. I'm doing something for Epsilux and I'll post some code tomorrow, it should help you.

scripting takes skill, skill that i dont have, does the script go like:

layer.onEnterArea(Animation) {
// hide or show or animate some layers
}

layer.onLeaveArea(Animation2) {
// hide or show or animate some layers
}

or something, is there a basics or scripting tut anywhere apart from rt's site which isnt really a tut? i not does anyone want to write a small one for me and others that have no idea but want to?

this includes boxor, most other skins with this decide to crash wasabi in beta 1 which is a big pain.

[Naamloos]

The source code isnt included in those "official" skins :(

*right?* I havent checked but Im really think it's like that

[mc^^^^]

there is no .m files, just maki, now can some1 help me?

[mc^^^^]

my skin is currently at a progress rate of 0% I NEED HELP! we all like downloading new skins and if i were helped you would all probably have beta 1 now. i have tried over and over but cant get it, PLEASE HELP ME SOME ONE!

Go and take a script (like a drawer script) rip it apart and use the code what is in the other posts in this thread, that will help you

This isn't drawers or anything that fancy, just some rollovers. From my Diablo II Pentagram skin:
DIIAnimLayer.onEnterArea() {
DIIAnimLayer.setStartFrame(1);
DIIAnimLayer.setEndFrame(10);
DIIAnimLayer.setAutoReplay(1);
DIIAnimLayer.setSpeed(50);
DIIAnimLayer.play();
}

DIIAnimLayer.onLeaveArea() {
DIIAnimLayer.setStartFrame(10);
DIIAnimLayer.setEndFrame(0);
DIIAnimLayer.setAutoReplay(0);
DIIAnimLayer.setSpeed(5);
DIIAnimLayer.play();
}

[Naamloos]

You made an animation you can also do something like


DIIAnimLayer.onEnterArea() {
DoorLayer.setY();
doorlayer.SetSpeed()
Doorlayer.gototarget()
}

The boxor skin had the source with it. I am looking at it once in a while to see how to do some things.

Instead of,

DIIAnimLayer.onEnterArea() {
DIIAnimLayer.setStartFrame(1);
DIIAnimLayer.setEndFrame(10);
DIIAnimLayer.setAutoReplay(1);
DIIAnimLayer.setSpeed(50);
DIIAnimLayer.play();
}

DIIAnimLayer.onLeaveArea() {
DIIAnimLayer.setStartFrame(10);
DIIAnimLayer.setEndFrame(0);
DIIAnimLayer.setAutoReplay(0);
DIIAnimLayer.setSpeed(5);
DIIAnimLayer.play();
}

the boxor skin passes values to a function that does similar things.

Anyway... I even improved upon it, for the onLeaveArea(), if you replace "setStartFrame(10)" with setStartFrame(DIIAnimLayer.getCurFrame())", it will rewind from the point where it left off, so your animation won't appear to snap.

[Spoonman]

Hey, that works. Good stuff. One thing I neglected to mention before. The code I posted is for rollovers. If you're making rollunders like I am, you'd have to do it more like Box0r does, with procedures, and you'd have to call your animated layer from your button. As in:
Previous.onEnterArea() {
StartAnimation(PreviousAnim, 1, 10, 50);
}
Notice the the base is "Previous", a button, but the StartAnimation is on PreviousAnim, an animated layer. StartAnimation() is the procedure out of the box0r script, which you may have to modify for your purposes (I did).

This is getting C'ish, /me like. :)
