Play note animations without hitting actual notes

[LORAY-guy]

Describe your problem here.

Is there a way to trigger certain animations from the player's notes without actually having to press a real note ? If not, do they have a name so i can try to play them using playAnim code ? (not the animations when you press in the void, the actual confirm animation)

runHaxeCode('game.playerStrums.members['..key..'].playAnim("confirm", true);')
    setPropertyFromGroup('playerStrums',key,'resetAnim',0)

Do i have to replace key by the name of the supposed pressed key ?

[Drawoon2]

Do i have to replace key by the name of the supposed pressed key ?

"pressed" for pressed and "static" for idle anim

Ok, i had to replace 'key' with noteData % 4 for it to work, thanks a lot and one more thing, is there a way i could get the splash to work too ?

[Drawoon2]

runHaxeCode([[ var strum = playerStrums.members[]]..noteData..[[]; if(strum != null) { spawnNoteSplash(strum.x, strum.y, ]]..noteData..[[); } ]]) I'm not very sure that it works but this would be the basis of what you ask for

[LORAY-guy]

Nah, doesn't work for what i'm doing, here's the entire script so you can see what i'm actually trying to go for :

local playing = false

function onUpdate()
    if getProperty('gf.animation.curAnim.name') == "danceLeft" and getProperty('gf.animation.curAnim.curFrame') == 0 and playing == false then
        characterPlayAnim('boyfriend', 'idle')
    end
end

local stopAnimTimer = 0
local targetTime = 0

function onUpdatePost(elapsed)
    -- end of "update"
    setProperty('boyfriend.stunned', true) --stop boyfriend from hitting notes normally, and stops his animations from happening
    mouseX = getMouseX('hud') - 25
    mouseY = getMouseY('hud') - 50
    noteCount = getProperty('notes.length')

    for i = 0, noteCount-1 do
        if getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'mustPress') then
            noteX = getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'x')
            noteY = getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'y')

            hitbox = 75
            isSustainNote = getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'isSustainNote')
            if isSustainNote then
                noteX = noteX - 30
            else
                noteX = noteX - 10
                noteY = noteY + 20
            end

            if math.abs(noteX - mouseX) <= hitbox and math.abs(noteY - mouseY) <= hitbox and mouseY > -45 and mouseY < 100 then
                addScore(350)
                addHits(1)

                noteData = getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'noteData')
                noteType = getPropertyFromGroup('notes', i, 'noteType')
                if noteType == 'Hurt Note' then
                    characterPlayAnim('boyfriend', 'hurt', true)
                else
                    if noteData == 0 then
                        characterPlayAnim('boyfriend', 'singLEFT', true)
                        runHaxeCode('game.playerStrums.members['..(noteData % 4)..'].playAnim("confirm", true);')
                        setPropertyFromGroup('playerStrums',(noteData % 4),'resetAnim',0.175)
                        playing = true
                    elseif noteData == 1 then

                        runHaxeCode('game.playerStrums.members['..(noteData % 4)..'].playAnim("confirm", true);')

                        setPropertyFromGroup('playerStrums',(noteData % 4),'resetAnim',0.175)
                        playing = true
                    elseif noteData == 3 then
                        characterPlayAnim('boyfriend', 'singRIGHT', true)

                end

Place that in the script folder, it works on any songs
