I was wondering if there was any way to use image_index to stop an animation or destroy an instance of an object on a certain frame.

Specifically, what i'm trying to accomplish is to have an item play an animation once, then when it reaches the final frame, be destroyed. So, i tried a peice of code like this:[codebox]
if image_index = 10
{
instance_destroy
}

[/codebox]

This seemed like it would work, but it did not. The animation simply kept repeating its animation endlessly.

Any ideas on how this can be done? On a post of mine yesterday about something similar someone referred me to a guide on making animation controller,s and while it was useful, i feel it is too complex for something this simple.

There is an animation end event (found under "other"). Place the destroying code in there (and don't forget the brackets, instance_destroy() )

I remember doing something like this. I think the problem is that the image_index has a decimal value for some reason. Try:

if image_index >= 10  //or
if floor(image_index) = 10

The above works too, but you might find you need to put the code somewhere other than in the animation end event.
