Key-Press Other Mounted Image Sequence

[Goth77]

Imagine I mounted a cape to my backslot. I want this cape to play certain sequences during key presses such as spacebar,shift,etc. I know I can "loop" a sequence or play through a series of them using weapon states and transition on timeout, but it appears only models in the handslot 0 animate via trigger?

How would I go about telling a mounted image not in the hand slot to play its script? (such as onFire, onReady, etc) or would I have to manually add sequences to the shape and use playThread?

setImageAmmo(slot, 0 or 1) can cause stateTransitionOnAmmo and stateTransitionOnNoAmmo. Idle --(onAmmo)--> Animate --(onTimeout)--> Idle would keep looping while Ammo is set. There's another pair of transitions used with setImageLoaded for more complicated branching.

Functions are triggered by entering a state with e.g. stateScript[1] = "onReady", just being named "Ready" won't work.

you can also use setImageTrigger(slot,bool) but you might want to create several sets of states for ammo checks

I understand the function is called when the state is triggered. I never thought to try and manipulate the ammo state though. What is the other pair of transitions used with setImageLoaded? (onImageLoaded, onImageDone) ?

THANK YOU!! You guys are the best
