Are there any AOs that support more than 5 stands? I have 2, and from what I've seen 5 seems to be limit.

If the limit is 5, are there any that support a random "set" of 5?

Are there any that choose the stands randomly instead of in order?

Are there any that do also random sits, flys, etc?

TIA.. :)

Every AO based on Franimation (Wet Ikon, ZHAO, etc) supports 5 entries for stands, however you can specify more than 5. place more stands on each line by seperating them with the | character. exampe:


STAND1= nicestand|betterstand

As the AO cycles through the 5 entries, it will pick a random one of the two or more specified on that line. I hope i'm clear. It's probaby explained better in the Franimation documentation. Oh, and the same applies for walks and such too.

You can also organize them into sets, maybe a Party set, Sexy set, Bored set, and what have you.

The AO's usually have a way to easily switch from one set to another.

Is there a known limit for the number of stands, walks, etc?

I've seen ZHAO mentioned a lot so I'm thinking about buying that.

So I tried this, the "Separate with |" thing, and I kept getting "Couldn't find animation Stand1|Stand2"

Also, would someone be so kind as to explain the whole "Set" thing? How is this done? How is it implemented? It would make my life a WHOLE lot easier! *grin*

Appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks

I recently released ZHAO II, and that will allow you to add as many stands as you want, until the script runs out of memory. ZHAO II has a new notecard format, and I've removed the "randomly play an animation from a set" functionality. Feel free to pick up a copy, most of this is explained better in the notecards.

Please read my profile in-game. It'll tell you where you can pick up a free copy, give you links to ZHAO setup and troubleshooting guides, and other (hopefully) useful information.

You make separate 'animation sets' by setting up multiple animation notecards. You can then switch between different sets of animations by loading up different notecards.

Ziggy, you rock.

Thanks. I just picked up a ZHAO II and I'll take a peek.

Would it be ok if I IMed you in game some time to talk to you about my project (so we don't hijack the thread *grin*)? The HUD we've made is pretty specific and I'd love to get your feedback on some things.

If you're too busy, I completely understand. I know the feeling all too well!

Sure, no problem.
