one shot animation

[cassius]

I am struggling to get a "dieing" animation to work just once despite watching aggrors tutorial many times. If anyones got a short example in c++ I would be much obleeged.

There is some example in player.lua

At the end of attack it calls another function, it's some callback if im' not wrong.

In fact if you use AnimationManager, you put all parameters and last one is a function name to call at the end of animation.

 

You can also manage that yourself if you can get what frame is playing.

Thanks yougroove I will take a look. . I want to stick to c++. coding if possible, I have "walk" and other animations working fine.

This code works, but a bit too fast.

 

 

void kill_badguy()

{

if(badguy_frame < badguy_length){

 

badguy->SetAnimationFrame(badguy_frame,1,badguyseq);

 

badguy_frame++;

}

if(badguy_frame >= badguy_length)

badguy_alive = false;

}

Hi Cassius

 

Here is something Ive adapted from the lua code...

 

void GameCharacter::SetAnimationSequence(float blendTime)
{
blendStart = Time::GetCurrent();

blendFinish = blendStart + blendTime;
}

 

 

 

if(characterState != prevCharacterState)
{
SetAnimationSequence(500); //This only gets hit once.
}

sequence = 1; // or whatever

float animSpeed = 0.04F;
float blend = (Time::GetCurrent() - blendStart) / (blendFinish - blendStart);

blend = Math::Min(1.0, blend);
frame = (Time::GetCurrent() - blendStart) * animSpeed;

float length = entity->GetAnimationLength(sequence, true);

if(frame >= (length - 1))
{
frame = length -1;

characterState = kStateIdle;
}

entity->SetAnimationFrame(frame, blend, sequence, true);

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for that code. That goes into my usefull snippets folder.I slowed down my animation by decreasing badguy_frame by 0.5 instead of 1.
