View source for Creating an animevent

{{npc tut}}
==Declaration==
Animevents are useful for adding mid-animation functionality.

The first step to creating an animevent for your NPC is to create a name for it and add it to "Private animevents" section. Here's an example name for an animevent: '''COMBINE_AE_ALTFIRE'''.

Once the activity is added to the enum, you must use the '''DECLARE_ANIMEVENT''' macro in the '''AI_BEGIN_CUSTOM_NPC''' section.

Here's an example of the DECLARE_ANIMEVENT code:
<pre>	DECLARE_ANIMEVENT( NEWNPC_AE_ANIMEVENT )</pre>
==Implementation==
All event code is handled in <code>void CNPC_New::HandleAnimEvent( animevent_t *pEvent )</code>. If pEvent doesn't contain anything that needs to be caught and dealt with, <code>BaseClass::HandleAnimEvent</code> should be called.
