TSStatic and animation
by Vlad Ts · in Torque Game Engine · 08/24/2005 (2:30 am) · 7 replies
Hello community!
I'm working with own class inherited from torque TSStatic and wish to exploit the animation capability for objects of this class, so i add bellow code to one of the my class init function
but after scene rendering i got one and only one frame of the required sequence.
Sorry, i'm new in torque engine and its animation model,
what changes i should make to play entire sequence?
Thanks.

mShape = ResourceManager->load(shapePath);
mShapeInstance = new TSShapeInstance(mShape, true);
TSShape* pShape = mShapeInstance->getShape();
S32 seq = pShape->findSequence(seqName);
if(seq >= 0)
{
TSThread* pTread = mShapeInstance->addThread();
mShapeInstance->setSequence(pTread, seq, 0);
}but after scene rendering i got one and only one frame of the required sequence.

what did you mean saying 'sequences updated'?
As i now and it works animate() is called in renderObject() method of parent class, in our case it's TSStatic.

Er... It's fixed, then? (Not quite sure what your last post said.)

I mean that animate() method is automatically called from a base of my class, i.e from TSStatic (inheritance behaviour), hence the problem in other place.
I think that animation sequence isn't updated, so i have to change current play position every game tick manually?
Is there any other way or class in Torque different from TSSTatic from which i can easily derrive my own class that will support automatic animation update mechanism?

Nope, it still not working.I mean that animate() method is automatically called from a base of my class, i.e from TSStatic (inheritance behaviour), hence the problem in other place.

StaticShape, I think, derives from ShapeBase and is basically the same as TSStatic in functionality.

Sure, ShapeBase.StaticShape, I think, derives from ShapeBase and is basically the same as TSStatic in functionality.
