Playing animation on keypress.

by William James · in Torque Game Builder · 02/18/2008 (9:23 pm) · 1 replies

I'm just trying to work my way around the TGB reference guide by playing with the different commands trying to figure out what does what? I've trying to get a specific animation to play when a key is pressed but nothing happens with the code below. No errors in script either.
function player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
         $ball = %this;
      moveMap.bind(keyboard, "space", "playerBounce();");
   // try this  moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "space", "playerBounce();", "playerBounceStop();");
      
}

function playerBounce(%this,%val)
{
   if(%val)
      playAnimation($ball0);
      
}

When you call a function, you have to pass it arguments. Torque Script will not remember the object that passed a function. Try this:

function player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
    echo ("Player: " @ %this);
    echo ("Command: " @ %this @ ".playerBounce();");
    moveMap.bindCmd("keyboard", "SPACE", %this @ ".playerBounce();", "");
}
 
function player::playerBounce(%this)
{
   echo ("Animate: " @ $ball0);
   %this.playAnimation($ball0);
}
