088A: actor 34@ perform_animation "RAIL_FALL" IFP "SWAT" 8.0 loopA 0 lockX 0 lockY 0 lockF 1 time -1 disable_force 0 disable_lockZ 1

Hey Deji, any ideas if this will allow my animation to rise continuously? The other two have the x and y lock (unlock! Gawd I wish that got changed way back when!) which allows the animation to stop at the x/y coords it winds up at. So will 088A allow me to do the same with the z coord? I plan on using get actor distance from ground to check where the next animation will start.

I'd REALLY like to have the animations individually (spin_in, spin_up, spin_loop, etc) so I can test the z value I'll be checking, rather than make it one big animation and constantly have to add or remove the total frames to compensate. This will also make animating spin_loop easier, since I can just do the spin without worrying about where the actor z really is.

Thanks for any insight!

EDIT: Oooo, just thought about this: if I start the spin_down at that position it ends up at, it might be too high or too low anyway. Need to think this through some more. Damn animations!

The disable lock Z param is always 0 by default (that includes in other animation opcodes). Aside from that I'm not too sure. This was my first opcode find and I can't quite remember the effects. I think it just changes whether the z position of the actor is kept throughout the animation. Not sure though.
