Single looping animation

[Fuzzybat23]

So.. I have making an animation down pretty well.

Code: Select all

[AniCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter % (However many frames)
Substitute=".00000":""

[Animation]
Meter=Image
ImageName=[AniCalc].png
Path="Where it's at"
DynamicVariables=1

What I'm trying to do now is:
* Display the first frame
* Have it be clickable with the mouse
* Animate to the last frame and stop

I've tried this, but all it does is display the first frame, count from 0 to max frame, then displays the last frame. Any pointers?

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Max_Frame=20
Current_Frame=0

[Open_Bar]
	Measure=Calc
	Formula=(Open_Bar + 1)
	IfEqualValue=#Max_Frame#
	IfEqualAction=[!setVariable Current_Frame #Max_Frame#][!DisableMeasure Open_Bar]
	IfBelowValue=-#Max_Frame#    
	IfBelowAction=[!setVariable Current_Frame [Open_Bar]]  (This part doesn't seem to be setting the 
                                                           variable to Open_Bar's incremental value at all)
	Disabled=1

[Closed]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/Bar#Current_Frame#.png
x=0
y=0
DynamicVariables=1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!EnableMeasure Open_Bar]


[Test]
Meter=String
MeasureName=Open_Bar
x=55
y=75
FontColor=Red
Text="%1, #Current_Frame#"

Try using a counter to control it? Animation guide, Counters.

No dice. Using:

Code: Select all

[Blah]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter%21 (20 Frames)
IfEqualValue=21
IfEqualAction=Do Something

Does the exact same thing as

Code: Select all

[Blah2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Blah2 + 1
IfEqualValue=20 (Still 20 Frames)
IfEqualAction=Do Something

Fixed it!

Code: Select all

[Open_Bar]
	Measure=Calc
	Formula=(Open_Bar + 1)
	IfEqualValue=#Max_Frames#
	IfEqualAction=[!DisableMeasure Open_Bar][!HideMeter Opening][!ShowMeter Close]
	Disabled=1

[Open]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/Bar#Min_Frames#.png
x=0
y=0
DynamicVariables=1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!EnableMeasure Open_Bar][!HideMeter Open][!ShowMeter Opening]

[Opening]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/Bar[Open_Bar].png
x=0
y=0
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=1

[Close]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Graphics/Bar#Max_Frames#.png
x=0
y=0
DyamicVariables=1
Hidden=1

Added two more meters. The first displays the image at 0 frame. The second activates and displays the animation until the Open_Bar reaches the max frame count, then it displays the third meter which is set to the max frame.

Good news, I look forward to seeing the finished skin

It's far from finished, but here's the animation so far.

Have to link to my deviantart page since the forum doesn't allow mp4 or swf uploads.
