Detailed Description

This interface handles engine animations. Time management is done per-instance, this means that when the animation is started it applies to all objects using it.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VgAnimation.VgAnimation

(

)

This constructor initializes an useless empty animation instance. To create an usable animation, animation descriptors ( VgEngine::VgAnimationDescriptor ) must be used and passed to the instance factory ( VgEngine::VgInstanceFactory ).

Member Function Documentation

float VgAnimation.getCursor

(

)

This method return the current cursor position in the animation's timeline.

Returns

The current animation's

float VgAnimation.getDuration

(

)

This method returns the duration of the animation (in seconds).

Returns

The animation's duration.

boolean VgAnimation.isPlaying

(

)

This method retruns a boolean value that tells whether the animation is currently playing.

Returns

True if the animation is playing, false if not.

void VgAnimation.pause

(

)

This method pauses the animation at it's current time value. Use start to resume animation playback, stop to reset the animation.

void VgAnimation.seek

(

float

pTime

)

This method sets the animation's current time and forces an injection of the animation values.

Parameters

pTime

The time value to set (will be clamped between 0 and duration)

void VgAnimation.start	(	float	pDelay,
		float	pStart,
		float	pEnd,
		float	pDuration
	)

This method starts the animation.

Note

If start is greater than end, the animation will play backwards.

An animation that has looping (forward or ping pong) has a never ending timeline. Such an animation started with a negative value for pEnd will play continuously untill stopped explicitly.

Parameters

pDelay	The delay to apply before effectively playing the animation in seconds. Default is 0.0.
pStart	The start time in the animation in seconds (if negative, the animation starts at it's current poisition). Default is -1.0.
pEnd	The targeted position in the animation (if negative, the animation ends when it's timeline ends). Default is -1.0.
pDuration	The time in seconds the animation will take to go from start to end (not including delay). If negative, means abs(end-start). Default is -1.0.

void VgAnimation.start	(	float	pDelay,
		float	pStart,
		float	pEnd

void VgAnimation.start	(	float	pDelay,
		float	pStart
	)

void VgAnimation.start

(

float

pDelay

)

void VgAnimation.start

(

)

void VgAnimation.stop

(

)

This method stops the animation and sets back the time value to 0.
