Skyline - Animation Events (Development Log)

[SolarPortal]

It has been requested for a while and because of its importance, we have decided to add Animation Events to skyline which will allow you to get a function called when an animation hits a certain time or frame. This is currently in development, but we now have the editor adding events and changing their properties.

Removal of animation events via the mesh editor now works.

Ok, animation events seem to be working in skyline now and even as the scene speed slows down or increases which makes the animation slow down, the event trigger to lua will always be in time with the animation.

Here's the code for the new Event system:

Code: Select all

obj = -1;

-- System initialisation - Skyline script entry point
function onInit(objID)
    sky.lprint("LUA: Script Active!");
    obj = objID;
end

-- Called after all the scenes onInit() have been called.If you need to ensure your data exits, then do you set up here
function postInit()
    entity.registerAnimationEvents(obj, 1);
    anim.stopAnimation(obj, "walk");
    anim.playAnimation(obj, "run", 30, 1);
end

function event_doFootStep_Walk( argument )
    local string =  "No foot"
    local foot = tonumber(argument);
    if( foot == 0)then string = "Left Foot"; elseif( foot == 1 ) then  string = "Right Foot"; end
    lprint(" Walk: Foot Step: ".. string);
end

function event_doFootStep_Run( argument )
    local string =  "No foot"
    local foot = tonumber(argument);
    if( foot == 0)then string = "Left Foot"; elseif( foot == 1 ) then  string = "Right Foot"; end
    lprint(" Run: Foot Step: ".. string);
end


And heres the setup in the mesh editor:
