Animation question
by Jason Green · in Torque Game Builder · 03/30/2005 (2:11 am) · 3 replies
I have a character that squats when I press the down arrow and stands back up when I release the key. The animation is not cycling but it always goes back to the starting frame. Is there a way to make the animation stop and stay on the last frame?

Oh well. I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks for the heads up

Jason: Quickie fix. (In fxAnimationController2D::updateAnimation (fxAnimationController2D.cc)// Check if the animation has finished.
if ( !mConfigDataBlock->mAnimationCycle && mCurrentTime >= mTotalIntegrationTime)
{
// Animation has finished.
//mAnimationFinished = true;
mCurrentFrameIndex = mMaxFrameIndex ;
mCurrentFrameRegion = mConfigDataBlock->mImageMapDataBlock->getImageMapRegion(mConfigDataBlock->mFramesList[mCurrentFrameIndex]);
// Are we restoring the animation?
if ( mAutoRestoreAnimation )
{
// Yes, so play last animation.
playAnimation( mLastAnimationName, false );
}
}Note: Use this only if you feel comfortable editing and compiling the engine, as GG nor I will support it. This will be superceeded by Melv's fix in the engine, this is just a fugly hack to get non-cycled animations to hold last frame.
