Allrighty, so I want to create an animated harm-tile where the third frame of the animation is designated with the PAIN and the other two are safe. However, when I set the third tile with the hurt bitset and then animate them, the bitset is completely ignored.

To workaround this, I created npcs that would be in sync with the animation ticks and simply appear when the third frame appears.
However this script is looped and seems to freeze the game when activated (as an autorun script).

Any other options?

You'll probably have to use writeharmtile() or whatever it's called. You can't use harm tiles through animation because the change doesn't affect the wallmap.

All right, so it looks like I'll be trying out the 'Plot:Write_pass_block' command in another infinite loop.
However, I'm afraid that another looping autorun script would only result in another fatal error.

If it froze you must have forgotten a wait.

Setting the harmtiles with writepassblock is the best way to go.

(BTW "get tile animation offset" is a new command to check what tile animations are doing, but it's perhaps too much trouble for this case)

That WOULD be a good idea (when I was younger,I remember trying to make certain frames of tile animation harm,whilst certain didn't)

It could add much more gameplay to OHR games (traps,sliding walls,moving platforms,etc.)

well,"sliding walls" could be done by manipulating NPCs...

I should stop,this is off topic anyway!
