guiAnimBitmapCtrl

#1 Slick, Gui candy thank you!

#2 Works great! Thanks - was just what I needed.

#3 Although it works in a very straigthforward manner, I think that it would be useful to have some example files and scripts.

By the way, this is very cool buddy! =)

#4 I have downloaded the script and compiled, free of error, however can you please provide some example files and scripts.

#5 Example Scripts would be greatly appreciated!!!

#6 Ok guys- this resource could really use some examples- so ive volunteered :) ...

b4 the examples- I had to patch something in the .cc ( which [HOW]-Ed from #gg so kindly gave the resolution for )--

change:
ConsoleMethod(GuiAnimBitmapCtrl,startAnimation,void,2,4,"obj.startAnimation([loop = false][, reset = false][, frame = 0])")
to:
ConsoleMethod(GuiAnimBitmapCtrl,startAnimation,void,2,5,"obj.startAnimation([loop = false][, reset = false][, frame = 0])")

Only difference is the Arg definition, from 4 to 5...

---

Heres an example of what ive done---

function callme(%obj)
{
%animID = %obj.addAnimation();

%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask1.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask2.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask3.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask4.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask5.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask6.png");
%frameID = %obj.addFrame(%animID,"common/ui/ask7.png");

%newFPS = 120;
%obj.setFrameRate(%newFPS);

%loop = FALSE;
%reset = FALSE;
%frame = 0;
%obj.startAnimation(%loop, %reset, %frame);

}


that simply plays the animation once, and stops...

Hope this helps guys..

#7 Oh, also...

The credit for this addition goes entirely to Labrat (#gg)..


****

To detect and Call a function when an animation is complete...

Add the following in the .cc:

Con::executef(this, 1, "animationDone");

after line 495 ( mCurrentState = Stopped; )
--

This will call a function within script called: GuiAnimBitmapCtrl::animationDone ...

Good Stuff-- Thanks alot Lab

This URL will give you a very good example, thanks for James Yong!

#10 Help, I don't see any way to use transparancies.

#11 Help , I want to display two sets of animation in two different GuiAnimBitmapCtrl control one after the other. When one animation is playing the other animation should not play.

while(%obj.isPlaying() )
{

}
//Second animation

But my system Hangs.

#12 Jatinder: That's because execution is stopped in your while loop. You can't do scripting that way, it'll hang the system as you described. Instead, use the suggestion a few lines up regarding calling a function then the animation is done.

For example:

new GuiAnimBitmapCtrl(Animation1)
{
  // Define the ctrl
};

new GuiAnimBitmapCtrl(Animation2)
{
  // Define the ctrl
};

Animation1::animationDone(%this)
{
  Animation2.startAnimation();
}

Animation2::animationDone(%this)
{
  Animation1.startAnimation();
}

#13 Is this only for TGE or TGB?

#14 Just for TGE, as I only have access to TGE.

#15 I find a bug that there this a texture object leak. I want know how to manually retrieve these memery.thanks in advance.

#16 lol!
