Last week when we were going to code some animations for Ninja Trials, we realized that the 'Animation' class from libGDX would't let us making animations with different durations for each frame, which we need for almost every animation in the game.
For example, if we want to make a face whith eyes that blink, we'd like to get something like this:
(eyes blink for 0.1 sec)
But if every frame's duration needs to be the same, we'll get something like this:
(unless we insert several duplicated frames, and that doesn't seem to be efficient)
As you can see we needed more control over animation's time. We didn't mean to reinvent the wheel, so we searched again and again but found nothing, then DanPelGar started to modify the 'Animation' class. Now we are using the 'AnimationNinja' class.
These are the additions to the original class:
Code's license is the same that libGDX uses, the Apache 2.0 (you can use it free of charge, in commercial and non-commercial projects).
Greetings!

public AnimationNinja (float[] frameDuration, Array keyFrames, int playType) {

int frameNumber = 0;
if (frameNumberFloat < framePosition[0])
frameNumber = 0;

frameNumber = frameDurationArray.length - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < frameTime.length - 1; i++) {
if (frameNumberFloat < framePosition[i + 1] && frameNumberFloat >= framePosition[i])
frameNumber = i + 1;
}
//the rest of the method stays the same
switch (playMode) {
case NORMAL:
frameNumber = Math.min(keyFrames.length - 1, frameNumber);
break;
case LOOP:
frameNumber = frameNumber % keyFrames.length;
break;
case LOOP_PINGPONG:
frameNumber = frameNumber % ((keyFrames.length * 2) - 2);
if (frameNumber >= keyFrames.length)
frameNumber = keyFrames.length - 2 - (frameNumber - keyFrames.length);
break;
case LOOP_RANDOM:
frameNumber = MathUtils.random(keyFrames.length - 1);
break;
case REVERSED:
frameNumber = Math.max(keyFrames.length - frameNumber - 1, 0);
break;
case LOOP_REVERSED:
frameNumber = frameNumber % keyFrames.length;
frameNumber = keyFrames.length - frameNumber - 1;
break;
default:
// play normal otherwise
frameNumber = Math.min(keyFrames.length - 1, frameNumber);
break;
}
return frameNumber;
}
If you are starting using libGDX there are high chances that you are in the same situation as we were, so we thought that putting here the solution we got would be a good idea. Here is the class AnimationNinja.javaCode's license is the same that libGDX uses, the Apache 2.0 (you can use it free of charge, in commercial and non-commercial projects).
