In JME 3.2, each AnimChannel has a LoopMode that controls what it does when it reaches the end of an Animation. Furthermore, there’s an AnimEventListener interface that makes it simple to detect when an AnimChannel reaches the end of an Animation.
I’m currently reworking TestBoneRagdoll to use the new animation system. I’ve figured out how to play an action using AnimComposer.setCurrentAction() but not how to prevent the action from looping or detect when it is about to loop.
Has anyone figured out how do these things in JME 3.3?
workaround is to create your own Action by extending BaseAction.
for example :
public class CharacterAction extends BaseAction {
AnimComposer ac;
String layer;
boolean loop;
public CharacterAction(Tween delegate, AnimComposer ac, String layer, boolean loop) {
super(delegate);
this.ac = ac;
this.layer = layer;
this.loop = loop;
}
public boolean isLooping() {
return loop;
}
public void setLooping(boolean loop){
this.loop = loop;
}
@Override
public boolean interpolate(double t) {
boolean running = super.interpolate(t);
if (!loop && !running) {
// animation done running, now we can :
// set speed on this action to 0 to stop
this.setSpeed(0);
// or we can remove this action from the layer it is attached to
ac.removeCurrentAction(layer);
//or this if we are using DEFAULT_LAYER
ac.removeCurrentAction(AnimComposer.DEFAULT_LAYER);
}
return running;
}
}
You can use this method to add your own action :
Another way is to add a CallMethod tween at the end of sequence then this CallMethod tween will get run at the end of animation.
For example you can call “removeCurrentAction” method on AnimComposer :
BaseAction myAction = new BaseAction(Tweens.sequence(delegate, Tweens.callMethod(ac, "removeCurrentAction", layer)));
Reactive an old chain. I was putting my first animation into the game, and I used the CallMethod to figure out when the animation is done.
My question is when you define a BlendAnimation. How do you know the animation is completed. Since it doesn’t take Tweens. You define it with string name of actions. Those actions have a Tween callmethod. but the callMethod doesn’t get called when doing a BlendAnimation.
