Animate.obj
The animate.obj command tells the interpreter to activate the specified object. An object must be activated in the current room before it can be used.
Syntax
- animate.obj(obj oA);
Parameters
- oA: the screen object that will be activated for use
Remarks
Screen objects must be initialized with the animate.obj command before they can be used in any other commands. Most commands that are run on an uninitialized screen objects are just ignored by AGI, but some of them can result in interactions with invalid data. When a screen object is initialized it is enabled for updating and cycling by default. If you call the animate.obj command on an object that is already initialized, the command is ignored.
Possible errors
If the object number exceeds the max screen object value (specified in the OBJECT File), AGI will raise trappable error #13.
Example
// basic steps needed to create
// and display a screen object
animate.obj(o2);
load.view(4);
set.view(o2,4);
position(o2,80,120);
draw(o2);Technical Information
