'Ideal' animations?

[Tomalla]

What's the difference between "ideal activities" and ... normal activities? The same question is regarding ideal sequences. I find them all over in the code and when I want something to play the animation, should I use 'ideal' ones or not?

Do you mean idle sequence maybe?

I think the ideal activity var only sets the ideal activity for the set action. Like here:

Code: Select all

if ( playerAnim == PLAYER_JUMP )
   {
      idealActivity = ACT_JUMP;
   }


AFAIK, there are no set of ideal activities. It's merely just a var or so that tells the engine that when the player enables THIS action, THAT activity should be used. Activities are all prefixed with ACT_ and none with ideal in the picture.
