GML Visual [SOLVED] Switching levels/rooms after last frame of cutscene?

[nuyluy]

Hey there!
I made an frame by frame intro animation, which is controlled by button pressing. Every time you press any key, the frame changes one step forward.
Now I want that after the last frame it changes the room/level to the actual gameplay part. How do I do that? The attached file shows my DnD commands so far.
Please help me out~

Keep track of how many times a key is pressed. I'm not sure if GameMaker has a function for checking if ANY key is pressed, so you might want to set a specific key, like Space.

In the create event of the cutscene:

count = 0;

In the step event:

if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_space){
count += 1;
}

if count == 4{ //change this to however many frames you have, or how many times you change the frame
room_goto(room1); //change this to the room you want to go to
}

EDIT:

To check for any key, you would use keyboard_check_pressed(vk_anykey)

An alternative to this would be to keep track of the image_index of the cutscene (I'm assuming it's all in one sprite?).
So if your sprite has 5 frames, then the last frame corresponds to image_index = 4 (starts at 0).

So:

if image_index == 4 && keyboard_check_pressed(vk_anykey){
room_goto(room);
}

Thank you! I will try that

So I tried this, but it still loops the cutscene frames instead of switching rooms at the end. I'm sure I used the wrong command somewhere

How many frames is your animation?

if image_index == 4{
image_speed = 0;

if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_anykey){
room_goto(room1);
instance_destroy(self);
}
}

Be sure to set your sprite to an image_speed of 0 when the last frame is shown so it doesn't start over on its own. You should also destroy the instance now that you no longer need it.

I used your code and it worked!! Thank you a lot for your help!
