Help with class AnimatedSprite

[xalien95]

Hello scripters, I'm copying the class AnimatedSprite (in SpriteWindow) to get an animation with a list of frames to be showed (like frame 0,1,2,1,0,3,4,3,etc...).
I edited only the def update at the end of the class in this way:

  def update
    super
    if @playing
      @realframes+=1
      if @realframes==@frameskip*1
        self.frame=0
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*2
        self.frame=1
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*3
        self.frame=2
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*4
        self.frame=1
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*5
        self.frame=0
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*6
        self.frame=3
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*7
        self.frame=4
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*8
        self.frame=3
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*9
        self.frame=0
      end
      if @realframes==@frameskip*41
        @realframes=0
      end
    end
  end

What I'm missing? It doesn't show me the animation.
Thanks in advance!

@realframes is reset to 0 whenever you set self.frame to something. It never has a chance to get higher than @frameskip*1, because when it becomes equal to that, self.frame is set to something and @realframes is reset.

You need another variable which takes the place of the original self.frame incrementing, and is itself incremented at that time. You can then use an array to decide which frame to use depending on the value of this variable.

Alternatively, change your animation graphic so that you can use the default class AnimatedSprite for it.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Could you code it for me? I would learn to use arrays in RPG Maker, if you code that, it will be helpful for me.
If you wouldn't do it, no problem. Tell me and I'll fix the class without arrays.
Thanks again!

EDIT: I fixed the animation removing @realframes=0 from the frame attribute.

  def frame=(value)
    @frame=value
    # @realframes=0
    self.src_rect.x=@frame%@framesperrow*@framewidth
    self.src_rect.y=@frame/@framesperrow*@frameheight
  end

But I still would learn how to use arrays XD

There are programming tutorials all over the Internets which can tell you what arrays are and how to use them.
