UI animation engine

[CrazyEddie]

Glad it's helpful

[haihuojiming]

thanks for sharing this code. it's very useful

Code: Select all

bool UIAnimationManager::addWindow(CEGUI::Window *window, const std::string &id, const std::string &animationName)
{

  _windowDefaults[id].getScalarProperties().push_back(CEGUIProperty("Text", window->getProperty("Visible").c_str()));

}


Visible should be Text...

There is no acceleration and callback in uiae.

no callback for example:

when the front window fade out, the back window fade in, the front window's alpha is 0, but it also cover the back window, so I need set the front window hide, so I need a callback when the animation end.

Can you solve problems like this?

[CrazyEddie]

I'm not certain (not my product ), but what you could perhaps do is set up an action that sets the 'Visible' property once the fade is completed? Not certain how you'd do it, but I'd bet it's possible somehow

[h.a.n.d]

Hi Everyone,

I came around this thread some days ago in the search of an animation class for CEGUI.
So I tested this usefull engine and added some new stuff to it:

The main changes are:

An animation queue to build an animation chain.
I.E.:
1. Animate window A
(if finished)
2. Animate window B
...

A callback functionality, which I borrowed, with little changes, from the CEGUI lib .

Example:

Code: Select all

class MyClass {

public:


MyClass(){};
~MyClass(){};

//CEGUI Windows
CEGUI::Window* mWindowA;
CEGUI::Window* mWindowB;

UIAE::UIAnimationManager* mGUIAnimatorManager;

void setup()
{

   mGUIAnimatorManager = UIAE::UIAnimationManager::instance();
   
   if (mGUIAnimatorManager->loadAnimationsFromFile("GUIAnimations.xml")) {
      mAnimateGUI = true;
      setupWindowAnimations();
   }

}

void setupWindowAnimations()
{

   //Adding the Windows to the AnimationManager
   mGUIAnimatorManager->addWindow(mWindowA, mWindowA->getName().c_str(), "misc");
   mGUIAnimatorManager->addWindow(mWindowB, mWindowB->getName().c_str(), "misc");
   
   //Binding a callback function to the "hide" animation
   mGUIAnimatorManager->subscribeCallback(mWindowA->getName().c_str(), "hide", UIAE::Callback(&hide, this));

}

bool hide(const CEGUI::EventArgs& args)
{
   mWindowA->setVisible(false);
   mWindowB->setVisible(true);

   return true;
}

void animateWindowA()
{

   mGUIAnimatorManager->animate((mWindowA->getName().c_str(),"hide");
}

void animateWindowAB()
{
   UIAE::AnimationPairList animations;

   animations.push_back(UIAE::AnimationPair(mWindowA->getName().c_str(),"hide"));
   animations.push_back(UIAE::AnimationPair(mWindowB->getName().c_str(),"show"));


   mGUIAnimatorManager->animate(animations);
}

};
