Animation tool feature

[YouGroove]

It would be usefull if we could attach some variable names to the frames we want in the animation editor and have some callback function that would be called each time a variable is encountered.

 

For example in the midle of some attack animation or when a big boss character hits the ground we could attach a variable to that frame named for example "Left Foot Step" or "attack touch"

 

In the script this could be :

 

function animationCallbacks()

 

if animationCallback == "walk" and nameCallback == "left foot" then

 

end

 

if animationCallback == "walk" and nameCallback == "left foot" then

 

end

 

end

 

This is just a general idea.

I generally modify the existing AnimationManger to get this functionality in which I assign on Create() of the AnimationManager. Since AnimaitonManager isn't really even part of the core LE API I wouldn't think a feature like this would be part of the core API either but just a modification to AnimationManager.lua.
