AnimationSequence onAnimationComplete terminates the loop without reason. about citrus-engine HOT 10 CLOSED

Hello, your updateAnimation function is called by the update & attack method. It's probably not what you want... ?

from citrus-engine.

Actually, to call or not call the updateAnimation() inside attack() has no importance, I pulled out the call and the effect remains the same.
The fact is that when I call this line:
(view the AnimationSequence). onAnimationComplete.addOnce (attackFinishedAnim);
AttackFinishedAnim function is performed once or twice and then no longer runs.

She should infinite loop every time the animation ends, and it does not.

from citrus-engine.

(view the AnimationSequence). onAnimationComplete.addOnce (attackFinishedAnim);

You've used addOnce, so attackFinishedAnim function will perform only one time!

from citrus-engine.

The function attack () is executed when "_isAttacking = false" as shown inside updade ().
So when I run onAnimationComplete.addOnce, I am referring only 1 attack, when I restart the process, the hero will run the second attack, the function is called again, then run again another onAnimationComplete.addOnce

But anyway, I changed the line to
(view the AnimationSequence). onAnimationComplete.add (attackFinishedAnim);
And got the same result.

The result is different in your test?

from citrus-engine.

I don't have material to test.

Could you show us the updateAnimation function?

Also I've heard that it may have a bug in Starling 1.3 concerning animation complete: http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/animation-eventcomplete-fires-early not sure if it was baked into Starling 1.3

Also it seems more related to Starling itself than Citrus Engine. Could you try a simple test running only on Starling and then on the Citrus Engine ? (You may want to duplicate the AnimationSequence class). Thanks!

Do you still have the issue?

from citrus-engine.

I no longer have the problem. Decided to go for another logic.

Ok, I hope everything is going well.

Hey, I think what you're looking for is the StarlingArt.setLoopAnimations(tabAnimations) function ;)

Hey Aymeric, I know this post is closed, and i apologize for posting back on it, but i didn't know of another way to contact you. I seem to have a similar issue as to the original poster here. I am using a sprite sheet for all my animations for my hero. I have also been loosely following the "Braid" example to help with my custom hero animation frames. I have run into this issue and i just cannot seem to figure out no matter how many examples and posts i read. All my animations are now playing, however they all stop on the final frame and just stay there. for example if i hold down the "left" arrow my character runs left correctly, but when his animation frames end the character continues to move left, but he looks like he is frozen. I'm fairly new to Citrus and so far i love it, i just cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong on this. Thank you in advance for any help you may have.

below is the main part of my custom hero class, if you need to see more please let me know. I'm sure this isnt the best way to do things but again im kind of learning as i go along, reading through all the docs trying to figure it out.

public var canUseSword:Boolean = true;
public var isAttacking:Boolean = false;
public var swordExists:Boolean = false;
protected var _sword:Sword;
protected var _swordJointDef:b2WeldJointDef;
protected var _swordJoint:b2WeldJoint;

public function HeroClass(name:String, params:Object = null)
{
super(name, params);
}

override public function update(timeDelta:Number):void
{

var velocityX:Number = velocity[0];
var velocityY:Number = velocity[1];

if (_onGround && !isAttacking)
{
this.animation = "MainNeutral";
}

if (_ce.input.isDoing("right", inputChannel))
{
if (!isAttacking)
{
if (_onGround)
{
this.animation = "MainRunCycle";
this.velocity = [7,velocityY];
}
if (!_onGround) this.velocity = [5,velocityY];
_inverted = false;
}
}

if (_ce.input.isDoing("left", inputChannel))
{
if (!isAttacking)
{
if (_onGround)
{
this.animation = "MainRunCycle";
this.velocity = [-7,velocityY];
}
if (!_onGround) this.velocity = [-5,velocityY];
_inverted = true;
}
}

if (_ce.input.isDoing("jump", inputChannel) && _onGround)
{
if (!isAttacking)
{
this.animation = "MainJump";
this.velocity = [velocityX,-12];
onJump.dispatch();
}
}

if (canUseSword && _ce.input.isDoing("attack", inputChannel))
{
isAttacking = true;
swordExists = true;
if (_onGround) _animation = "MainBasicAttack";
if (_inverted) {
_sword = new Sword("Sword", {x:x - width, y:y, width:30, height:10});
} else {
_sword = new Sword("Sword", {x:x + width, y:y, width:30, height:10});
}
CitrusEngine.getInstance().state.add(_sword);

_swordJointDef = new b2WeldJointDef();
_swordJointDef.Initialize(_body, _sword.body, _body.GetWorldCenter());

_swordJoint = b2WeldJoint(_box2D.world.CreateJoint(_swordJointDef));    

_box2D.world.DestroyJoint(_swordJoint);
CitrusEngine.getInstance().state.remove(_sword);        

}

if (swordExists && _ce.input.getActionValue("attack") != 1)
{
isAttacking = false;
swordExists = false;
}
}

Yes! that was it, thank you very much Aymeric. I actually figured that out soon after i messaged you, i tried removing my original post as to not bother you with it. But again, thank you for your time, i very much appreciate it!
