Idea: "random2"

A new idea... that is surely needed to give the random anim_mode a chance !

The problem on the normal random is, that sometimes the frames does not "change"... and that seems by a permanently picture-changing element very bad. So I needed always to choose the "loop" mode for such situations.

Idea: A "random2". It should work like this: 1,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,3,2,3,1,2,1,3,2 etc
I mean it shall not take the frame before. So, that this does not happen: 1,1,3,2,2,1,3,2,3,3,1,2,2,3,1,2,2
- 2 picture frames after each other

Hope I could explain it good enough... it would only give the random a chance. ;)

BTW: Sorry Holger for these many idea-reports in the last time, I just play a bit oftener RnD... :)

Excuse me, but what in this idea is different from your idea in this thread?

That topic you linked is for GEs, this topic is for the anim_mode by making graphics, you know:

rock.anim_mode: reverse

And that "Random loop" would not fit here, cause 2 picture frames may appear after each other, and that makes that normal animation mode "random" unusable !!
