Hey Jman, I played it on my PC Luaplayer and it looks promissing...Keep it up. BTW, did you manage to use the Gmax2PSP that I sent you for applying the 3D renders to Lua script?

hey, I looked at the readme for the Gmax2PSP and it was so vauge that I havent even taken the time to install or try to use it.. I will get around to it eventualy though :D but what do you mean 'renders' I just rendered those bg1,1 through 3,5 as a PNG from 3DS and then split it into peices as Lua wont load images larger then 480x272.. I dont think I can use Gmax for much other then verticy rendering

well alright thanks for telling me accordian, I threw a comment on QJ there...

To help out Gizmo (and anyone else) I am going to post the method I used for animation with 5 frames, rather then 2.. its fairly simple, and still fully functional..

also, my updated E's Lua code :D

Problems: The more frames the animation, the more if statements are used which severely branches your code. This causes (heavy?) performence lost. The other problem is that the number of frames is hard coded into the control code so it isn't flexible enough to handle animations of various lengths.

its flexible, it uses a timer for the time that the button is pressed, therefor, as long as the button is pressed, it will count up untill it is told to reset

it works just fine :D

and the multiple if statements dont slow down the usability, the if statements are just there for when the assigned is done...

Coder status is coming I promise you. I'm sure you could be bumped right to PSP Coder status (and skip the LUA stage) considering your other massive project. Its also worth noting all releases should be posted in the submit news section, we're a lot more likely to bump into it. See how fast it was sent to the news page after you made a clone of this thread in Submit News forums?

Anyways keep up the great work Jman!
