reload animation

[cassius]

 

I wrote the function below [ in c++] to reload a gun which before had been in idling anim mode.The problem is it works great but ONLY ONCE. If I press R key after first time it does not respond;

Can anyone help?

 

frame = 0 at start. animlenght is 53.

 

 

void reload_gun()

{

if (gun.frame < gun.animlength)

{

gun.model->SetAnimationFrame(gun.frame, 1, gun.seq);

gun.frame = gun.frame + 1.0;

}

if (gun.frame >= gun.animlength)

{

idle = true;

done = true;

}

gun.frame is never reset to 1 in this code.

 

You should probably reset it in this statement

if (gun.frame >= gun.animlength)
{
idle = true;
done = true;
// here
}

Thanks for reply. I will do it later.

if I hold down the R key the animation now works but I feel I should be using KeyHit not Keydown but that does nothing. With KeyDown the anim stops unfinished when I let go the key.if I keep pressing R it repeats until I let go.

How to make a one shot animation that works once. Can anyone show me? Thanks.s

 

Is it possible to use KeyHit to trigger an animation.

 

I am getting nowhere with this.

I would suggest looking over the inherent scripts as they are already created to show how to perform one shots, looping, blending animations between each other, etc... The FPSGun.lua script (along with the AnimationManager script) performs everything you are asking.

 

But a simple example of a one-shot animation not taking into account blending:

window = Window:Create("Example", 0, 0, 800, 600, 17)

context = Context:Create(window)

world = World:Create()

camera = Camera:Create()

camera:SetPosition(0,.8,-1.2)

light = DirectionalLight:Create()

light:SetRotation(35,35,0)

 

player = Model:Load("Models/characters/crawler/crawler.mdl")

frame = 0

blend = 1.0

sequence = "Idle"

recursive = true

oneshotdone = true

 

while not window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) do

if window:Closed() then return false end

 

if window:KeyHit(Key.Left) and oneshotdone==true then

sequence = "Attack1"

frame = 0

oneshotdone = false

end

if window:KeyHit(Key.Right) and oneshotdone==true then

sequence = "Attack2"

frame = 0

oneshotdone = false

end

 

player:SetAnimationFrame(frame,blend,sequence,recursive)

frame = frame + Time:GetSpeed()

if frame>=player:GetAnimationLength(sequence) then

sequence = "Idle"

frame = 0

oneshotdone = true

end

 

Time:Update()

world:Update()

world:Render()

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

context:DrawText("Press Left/Right Arrow Keys",2,2)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

context:Sync(true)

end

Thanks mack. My own one shot routine is taken from my other game and works ok when a character is killed. I am trying to adapt it to reloading a gun, but it does not work from a Keydown or a KeyHit so I am trying to make it a little remote or indirect from those.

Got it working. Thanks everyone for your help.
