Animation control

[Lobby]

An often requested feature is animation control using fun. It's possible in recent versions and looks like that

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "id": "$anim_test_control00",
    "type": "terrain",
    "width":1,
    "height":1,
    "template":"$template_ground",
    "frames":[{"x":416,"y":96,"w":32,"h":16}],
    "animation":[
      {"id":"$animationfan00","x":-16,"y":-48}  // Animation slot 0
    ],
    "on click fun":{
      "condition":{"type":"animation running"},   // Is animation in slot 0 running?
      "action":{"type":"animation pause"},        // Pause it
      "else action":{"type":"animation resume"}   // Resume it
    }
  }
]

(this plugin doesn't need external graphics, you might just put it in a json file in your plugins folder)

Show

animation running

This condition is true if the animation slot specified by "level" (0 by default) is running right now. If "frame" is provided it will also check for the current visible frame to be the same as "frame".

Show

animation pause

This action pauses the animation slot "level" (0 by default). Additionally sets the frame to "frame" if specified.

Show

animation resume

This action resumes the animation slot "level" (0 by default). Additionally sets the frame to "frame" if specified.

Is it possible to dictate other animations?
For example

Code: Select all

"condition":{"type":"animation running", "id":"animation ID"},

[JustAnyone]

Yes, using sloths slots.
"level":1 will use 2nd animation which is defined in building "animation".

[Imran M]

So, you can make this stop and start an animation with this type of fun?

[Lobby]

Yes, that's what it's for.

Hey, could I get some help? I followed it to a T, but it won't change when I click on it.

In your animation frames definition, what's this section supposed to do?:

Code: Select all

"count":1,
        "count y":15,
        "count x":0

I've never seen anything with a count y or count x.
Maybe your animation doesn't seem to move because it just has a count of 1 which would be a static image.

I thought you needed the count x/y to give a sort of point to the anim, then you can specify where you want it?
I think you're right, I wanted it be sort of like a door, and when you click on it, it turns off/disappears. But, it appears that it doesn't remove the animation, it stops it. Do you have anything like a "turn off animation" action?

I could just create 2 more frames (one closed and one opened for each rotation) and just get it to switch frames, kind of like how Lobby did it with that button. However, that'll require more plugin space.

[CommanderABab]

It would be:

Code: Select all

"handle y": 15,
"handle x":0
