EXTENDED setMD2Animation

[saltinbas]

Hi everyone,

When you want to animate your model, what you do is to use setMD2Animation ;

modelnode->setMD2Animation (scene::EMAT_ATTACK);

When anyone uses this function, the model goes to a loop for eternity unless you swith to another animation. So for example if i fire and use attack animation, the model continues to make attack animation although i stop firing.

Here is my suggestion;

setMD2Animation function should be entented like below,

modelnode->setMD2Animation (scene::EMAT_ATTACK,number_of_loop,scene::EMAT_STAND);

this function tells that make number_of_loop times ATTACK ANIMATION AND THEN SWITH TO STAND ANIMATION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

or better : an event raise when the animation is finished, like this :

modelnode->setMD2Animation (scene::EMAT_ATTACK,bool loop,(void*)FunctionToCall);

loop = indefinite loop or not.
FunctionToCall is the function which will be raised when animation is finished...

Hm, good idea. Especially the one with the event. I'll think about it.

I'd prefer a FSM for that, so that you can have exit conditions for one state, etc.

Cheers.
