Equivalent of UnifiedYPosition in unstable animation API

[cheshirekow]

I've been trying to upgrade my game to use the unstable (0.8ish) API. It seems I've got pretty much everything built and running correctly except that I can't find out how to update this animation definition:

Code: Select all

<AnimationDefinition name="FlyIn" duration="0.5" replayMode="once">
        <Affector property="UnifiedYPosition" interpolator="UDim">
            <KeyFrame position="0" value="{0,-480}" />
            <KeyFrame position="0.5" value="{0,0}" progression="quadratic decelerating" />
        </Affector>
    </AnimationDefinition>


In 0.7.6 this would lead to the main window "flying in" from off the screen. In 0.8 CEGUI crashes with the following:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::UnknownObjectException in file /home/josh/Codes/cpp/cegui/hg_trunk/cegui/src/PropertySet.cpp(137) : There is no Property named 'UnifiedYPosition' available in the set.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CEGUI::UnknownObjectException'
  what():  CEGUI::UnknownObjectException in file /home/josh/Codes/cpp/cegui/hg_trunk/cegui/src/PropertySet.cpp(137) : There is no Property named 'UnifiedYPosition' available in the set.


I'd like to do the same in 0.8 but I can't figure out what property my animation should modify to get the same effect. Based on how some of the other properties have been renamed I've also tried "YPosition". In fact, none of these work:

• UnifiedYPosition
• YPosition
• yPos
• DimYPosition
• Top

Oh, and because it's in big red letters on the top of the forums:

Code: Select all

Are you absolute sure you are on the "default" branch?

It seems {X,Y}Position was taken out, use Position instead.

Oh yeah, I changed those version numbers in the CMake file because I didn't like haveing CEGUI-9999 installed in my development directory. I later discovered the CEGUI_SLOTTED_INSTALLATION cmake variable, and forgot to revert changes to my cmake file. I put 0.7.7 because, as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist. I only recently realized that 0.8 is the defacto name for the current branch.

Thanks for the tip on the Position property.

I only recently realized that 0.8 is the defacto name for the current branch.

While that was what default became known as for a time, it's incorrect on so many fronts - and highly annoying to boot! The correct way to refer to that code is to say "default branch" or "current unstable" or something along those lines, and then it's good form to include the specific change set identifier too
