LE3 Animation endhook?

[Andy Gilbert]

Can someone confirm if im doing this correct as im not having much luck.

 

So my understanding is:

 

self.entity.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(4,0.1,200,1,self,self:AniSeq1())

 

Would then call:

 

function Script:AniSeq1()
self.currentState = self.sequence.idle
end

 

when the sequence 4 gets to the end?

 

For some reason this seems to get called very early on inthe sequence, if i remove the hook from the call, so:

 

self.entity.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(4,0.1,200) 

 

the animation plays fine, but obviously loops, which isnt what i want, i want it to change to a different sequence once its finished sequence 4.

Somtimes you need a little but longer at it!

 

Ive done it, just for record it was down to 2 things, mainly i was calling the following every update:

self.entity.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(4,0.1,200,1,self,self:AniSeq1())

 

and also changed to

self.entity.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(4,0.1,200,1,self,self.AniSeq1)

I often find a special frame hook to be helpful as well to get more accurate timing on when an attack actually lands and when to calc and show the damage done. This would be more for RPG type games with slower melee attacks and spells.

What is hook or endhook ?

(I just see a call to a function)

That's really all a hook is. A call to a function. It's just having the engine call your user function in specific situations.
