Animation Update and Trick

adent42

So we finally got around to implementing Store Animation Frame To Attribute in the HTML5 engine. That's probably handy for someone out there.

We also had a request to adjust frame rate, but that's not really necessary in behavior because.... you can do it on your own!

This assumes that you have a common image name root and a 2 digit number after the name. So something like

'walk01' 'walk02' 'walk03', etc.

For this example we've also set up two Actor Attributes, FPS and FrameCount.

Then all you need is a constrain attribute as follows:

self.image = "walk"..padInt(ceil(mod(devices.clock.millisecond/1000*self.FPS,self.FrameCount)),2)

Hope that's handy for anyone looking to do something like this!

A bit of an adjustment to avoid an extra calculations:

"walk"..padInt(mod(ceil((scene.time)*(self.FPS)),self.FrameCount)+1,2)

The +1 is because mod loops on a zero basis, so you need to add one to the loop. Alternatively, your animation could just start a frame 00.

You can also avoid the "padInt" if you don't zero pad your frame numbers.
