PlayThread

I have a door with a wheel that turns when you open it. When you close the door it should turn the wheel the other way.

%door.setThreadDir(0,true);

%door.playthread(0,"Wheel");

%door.stopThread(0);

%door.setThreadDir(0,false);

%door.playthread(0,"Wheel");

%door.stopThread(0);

This does not work.... seems stopThread resets the seq to frame 0

I changed the anim to not be cyclic and still does not work.

What am I doing wrong here?

function smartPlayThread(%obj,%anim,%direction)
{
	if (!isObject(%obj)) return;
	%obj.inTransition = true;
	if (%direction)
	{
		%obj.stopThread(0);
		%obj.playThread( 0,%anim );
		%obj.setThreadDir(0,true);
	}
	else
	{
		//play anim backwards
		%obj.stopThread(0);
		%obj.playThread( 0, %anim );
		%obj.setThreadPosition(0,1);
		%obj.setThreadDir(0,false);
	}
	//while were at it, trip any synced animations for stuff mounted to us
	%count = %obj.getMountedObjectCount();
	for (%i=0; %i<%count; %i++)
	{
		smartPlayThread(%obj.getMountedObject(%i),%anim,%direction);
	}
}

I use this a lot, personally.

That works great, thanks....
