Animation Scripts that don't Loop
How to Create am Animation Script that doesn't Loop
Saturday, November 21, 2020 by pelaird | Discussion: CursorFX
I may be missing something, but I don't see any way to create an animation script that doesn't loop. I have tried the "repeat 1" and "end repeat" which still loops.
From the CursorFX Guide: "CursorFX will execute from the first to the last token, then loop automatically."
The only thing I have found to work is to set the ms value on the last token in the script very high!
If anyone knows a better way to do this, please let me know. Thanks!

Okay, so I figured out a second way to accomplish an animation script that doesn't loop. If I create a png strip with with each cursor state repeated the number of times required to extend the ms of play I want to accomplish.
Any other suggestions?

That's what I do. The scripting doesn't work the way they say it does and Cursor FX does not include the AniUtil program like they say it does.

AniUtil.exe, included with CursorFX to select a batch of separated frames and automatically build an optimized PNG strip. Here the word “optimized” is very important in order to save runtime memory when using themes. AniUtil can automatically detect what the unused (blank, or zero alpha) margins are on ALL selected frames and cut them when building the PNG strip. That way the common frame size will be the smallest necessary, to include all visible (or whose alpha is > (greater than) than tolerance) pixels of all frames.
The AniUtil.exe utility is located in your \Program Files\Stardock\CursorFX folder, unless you installed to a different folder.

Don't know.
I don't know why they stopped including it, it's just a little bitty thing.
