I am a content creator so am new to coding but I am very willing to learn. I have read a few of the tutorials on FPI coding (Bullshock's was very helpful!)and I have explored many of the fpi's included in FPSC.

My question is about frame actions. ie...setframe, endframe, incframe. What are these frame actions referring too? They are present in the zombie script. Also, am I to understand that the animate action refers to the specific animations? ie...anim2 = move slow, anim5 = move fast.

Basically I am trying to understand so I can make smart AI melee attacks with my creatures as they are unarmed.(at least not any ranged weapons)

Thanks for the help.

Thanks, I also found the actions list in the manual. Should have known to check that first.

Ok, here is another question. Does it matter which action comes first when it comes to move and animate? Using the zombie script as anexample they have the following actions for a single state. movefore=10,animate=5 do these actions occur pretty much at the same instant or is the order important?
