[SOLVED] Anim8 - Create animation for each new object

[var77]

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I ain't post any issue .

So I use anim8 to make some animation with classic:

Code: Select all

local g = anim8.newGrid (...)
ani_1 = anim8.newAnimation(...)
ani_2 = anim8.newAnimation(...)
ani_list = [ani_1,ani_2]

function update(t)
	ani_list:update(t)
end

function draw()
	ani_1:draw
	ani_2:draw
end

It works perfectly but here is the deal, if I want to use "ani_1" for several object they seems that they all got the same sequence frame.
How could I generate animation individually for each of my object and start when they're create ?

Cause try several method like clone() (don't guess this is the way to use this function) but ain't works:

Code: Select all

ani_1_ = anim8.newAnimation(...)
ani_1 = ani_1:clone()

obj_list = {{1,anim=ani_1},{2,anim=ani_1}}
--object are not create at the same time in the list

for i, o in ipairs(obj_list) do
	o.anim:draw(...)
end

if anyone got an idea
Regards

Code: Select all

ani_1_ = anim8.newAnimation(...)
ani_1 = ani_1:clone()

You probably want this to say

Code: Select all

ani_1 = anim8.newAnimation(...)
ani_2 = ani_1:clone()

for hopefully obvious reasons.

Thanks for your fast reply @grump but that's not what i'm looking for unfortunatly.
To be more helpfull I just add a zip of my issue (line 175).

There is already a library called anim8 https://github.com/kikito/anim8

Actually that's what I use

So I use anim8 to make some animation

[monolifed]

Do you want something like this?

[var77]

Thanks a lot monolifed that's exaclty what i was looking for. Just need to studdy your main.lua to apply it to my works.
I may gonna have few questions soon .

So after few days investigating your main.lua monolifed,that was very helpfull (and informativ), I found most of what I was searching for the first part. I just stuck a bit with other stuff (maybe 'cause I aint know how to handle it with Anim8).

I would like to reverse animation (rewind the spinning) and roll again with new list of animation.

I thought that I could duplicate all function but get stuck with "onLoop" and list of animation.

Basicly what I try to get is:
Step 1 [ok] - spinning (random list)
Step 2 [ok] - random select 1 object (got it)
Step 3 [ - ] - rewind spinning(only not selected object)
Step 4 [ - ] - spinning_result

Code: Select all

-- on load
	spinning = {
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',1), 0.1, onLoop),
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',2), 0.1, onLoop),
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',3), 0.1, onLoop)		
	}
	-- if I could rewind animation with function I guess it might be easier than this
	rewind_spinning = {
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('8-1',1), 0.1, onLoop),
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('8-1',2), 0.1, onLoop),
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('8-1',3), 0.1, onLoop)
	}
	
	spinning_result = {		
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',4), 0.1, onLoop)
		anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',5), 0.1, onLoop)
	}

If you got any idea

The README says:

> However that way you will get a submarine which "emerges", then "suddenly disappears", and emerges again. To make it look more natural, you must add some animation frames "backwards", to give the illusion of "submersion". Here's the complete list:

> local frames = gs('1-7',1, '6-2',1)

So you can put lots of animation frames together. Would something like this work for you:

anim8.newAnimation(g32('1-8',1, '8-1',2, '1-8',4), 0.1, onLoop),

I don't really understand what you're trying to do, but I assume you want a spin animation, then a rewind animation, then another spin animation?


> -- if I could rewind animation with function I guess it might be easier than this

Isn't that what animation:gotoFrame(frame) does?

When experimenting with this, I'd recommend making an unmoving object playing your animation and use love.keypressed to cycle between different ways of calling newAnimation (or use hotloading if you've got that setup).

If rewinding I would just add those frames in reverse order so it spins forward then backwards then loops again or starts a different animation. Far easier.
