OnFrameChange callback (behaviors)

by Phillip O'Shea · in Torque Game Builder · 01/06/2008 (7:44 pm) · 3 replies

I have noticed that the "onFrameChange" callback doesn't get called for a behavior attached to a t2dAnimatedSprite.

I can just get around it by changing the class from my behavior name to "t2dSceneObject", but it would be nice to have it use the behavior's class.

    I found that if you have a callback which does not work for a behavior, you can just create an empty callback function of the same type for your object's class and it will allow the behavior's callback to work. For example:

    function MyBehavior::onFrameChange(%this, %frame)
{
   echo ("Here yet?");
}

    This will result in nothing being echoed, however when we add the following function, the above will work!

    function t2dAnimatedSprite::onFrameChange(%this, %frame)
{
   // Nothing to see here folks
}

    So where would you put this Phillip as I am having trouble with linking an animation within a behavior. would you create a player class then link it somehow to the behavior (in particular Y velocities)?

    Interesting find Phillip. I haven't tried duplicating this yet but I'd suspect it to be a bug, as you shouldn't need to make a dummy function in order to get the original behaviors function to be called.
