BBMOD_AnimationState

A constructor defined in BBMOD_AnimationState.gml

Extends BBMOD_State
Implements BBMOD_IEventListener

new BBMOD_AnimationState(_name, _animation[, _loop])

Description

A state of an animation state machine.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
_name	`String`	The name of the state.
_animation	`Struct.BBMOD_Animation`	The animation played while the is active.
_loop	`Bool`	If `true` then the animation will be looped. Defaults to `false`.

Properties

Name	Description
Animation	The animation played while the state is active.
Loop	If `true` then the animation is played in loops.

Inherited properties

Name	Description
IsActive	If `true` then the state is currently active.
Name	The name of the state.
OnEnter	A function executed when a state machines enters this state. Should take the state as the first argument. Default value is `undefined`.
OnExit	A function executed when a state machine exists this state. Should take the state as the first argument. Default value is `undefined`.
OnUpdate	A function executed while the state is active. Should take the state as the first argument and delta time as the second. Default value is `undefined`.
StateMachine	The state machine to which this state belongs or `undefined`.

Methods

Name	Description
off_event	Removes event listeners.
on_event	Adds a listener for a specific event.
trigger_event	Triggers an event in the event listener.

Inherited methods

Name	Description
get_duration	Retrieves how long (in milliseconds) has the state been active for.

Example

The following code shows examples of animation states which together make a simple locomotion state machine.

stateIdle = new BBMOD_AnimationState("Idle", animIdle, true);
stateIdle.OnUpdate = method(self, function () {
    if (in_air())
    {
        animationStateMachine.change_state(stateJump);
        return;
    }
    if (speed > 0)
    {
        animationStateMachine.change_state(stateWalk);
        return;
    }
});
animationStateMachine.add_state(stateIdle);

stateWalk = new BBMOD_AnimationState("Walk", animWalk, true);
stateWalk.OnUpdate = method(self, function () {
    if (in_air())
    {
        animationStateMachine.change_state(stateJump);
        return;
    }
    if (speed == 0)
    {
        animationStateMachine.change_state(stateIdle);
        return;
    }
});
animationStateMachine.add_state(stateWalk);

stateJump = new BBMOD_AnimationState("Jump", animJump, true);
stateJump.OnUpdate = method(self, function () {
    if (!in_air())
    {
        animationStateMachine.change_state(stateLanding);
        return;
    }
});
animationStateMachine.add_state(stateJump);

stateLanding = new BBMOD_AnimationState("Landing", animLanding);
stateLanding.on_event(BBMOD_EV_ANIMATION_END, method(self, function () {
    animationStateMachine.change_state(stateIdle);
}));
