Hello,

I am trying to do something that should be really simple.

I want to define a user definable variable of a String (if string is the correct data type) , define it in the default properties and then use it in the loopanim(WaitingAnim); I want to be able to change the value in the unreal editor.

var() String WaitingAnim;
...
LoopAnim( WaitingAnim);
...
defaultProperties{
WaitingAnim='idle'
}

where idle is the name of the animation seq

I get this error
: Error, Call to 'LoopAnim': type mismatch in parameter 1

Thanks for any help

Click to expand...
the variable should actually be type 'name' not 'string'. take a look in the base pawn code for the best examples. and then in the default porperties it would be: WaitingAnim=idle // without the single quotes

It should be var() name WaitingAnim;

In the default properties names are surrounded with " not '

For example, the xPawn class:

CrouchAnims(0)="CrouchF"
CrouchAnims(1)="CrouchB"
CrouchAnims(2)="CrouchL"
CrouchAnims(3)="CrouchR"
WalkAnims(0)="WalkF"
WalkAnims(1)="WalkB"
WalkAnims(2)="WalkL"
WalkAnims(3)="WalkR"
AirAnims(0)="JumpF_Mid"
AirAnims(1)="JumpB_Mid"
AirAnims(2)="JumpL_Mid"
