Ok so I got my animation working. The only problem I am running into is having it start automatically. I believe this is an RDX issue not the animation. Here is the code I am using for it (btw you can use this in game and it works)
Code:
RDX.RegisterFeature({
name = "animation_rotation"; version = 1;
title = i18n("Animation: Rotation"); category = i18n("Animations");
multiple = true;
IsPossible = function(state)
if not state:Slot("UnitFrame") then return nil; end
if not state:Slot("Base") then return nil; end
return true;
end;
ExposeFeature = function(desc, state, errs)
if not desc then VFL.AddError(errs, i18n("No Descriptor.")); return nil; end
if not (desc.owner) or (not state:Slot("Tex_" .. desc.owner)) then
VFL.AddError(errs, i18n("Invalid texture")); return nil;
end
return true;
end;
ApplyFeature = function(desc, state)
local fname = "frame.Tex_" .. desc.owner;
local createCode =
fname .. [[_animation = ]] .. fname .. [[:CreateAnimationGroup();
]] .. fname .. [[_animation:SetLooping("REPEAT");
]] .. fname .. [[_rotation = ]] .. fname .. [[_animation:CreateAnimation("ROTATION");
]] .. fname .. [[_rotation:SetDegrees(]] .. desc.degrees .. [[);
]] .. fname .. [[_rotation:SetDuration(]] .. desc.duration .. [[);
]] .. fname .. [[_rotation:SetOrigin(']] .. desc.origin .. [[', 0, 0);
]] .. fname .. [[_animation:Play();
]];
local paintCode = [[
if not ]] .. fname .. [[_animation:IsPlaying() then ]] .. fname .. [[_animation:Play(); else return; end
]];
state:Attach(state:Slot("EmitPaint"), true, function(code) code:AppendCode(paintCode); end);
state:Attach(state:Slot("EmitCreate"), true, function(code) code:AppendCode(createCode); end);
end;
UIFromDescriptor = function(desc, parent, state)
local ui = VFLUI.CompoundFrame:new(parent);
local owner = RDXUI.MakeSlotSelectorDropdown(ui, i18n("Target texture"), state, "Tex_", nil);
if desc and desc.owner then owner:SetSelection(desc.owner); end
local duration = VFLUI.LabeledEdit:new(ui, 50);
duration:SetText(i18n("Duration"));
duration:Show();
if desc and desc.duration then duration.editBox:SetText(desc.duration); end
ui:InsertFrame(duration);
local degrees = VFLUI.LabeledEdit:new(ui, 50);
degrees:SetText(i18n("Degrees"));
degrees:Show();
if desc and desc.degrees then degrees.editBox:SetText(desc.degrees); end
ui:InsertFrame(degrees);
--Origin
local er = RDXUI.EmbedRight(ui, i18n("Origin"));
local origin = VFLUI.Dropdown:new(er, RDXUI.AnchorPointSelectionFunc);
origin:SetWidth(100); origin:Show(); origin:SetSelection("CENTER");
er:EmbedChild(origin); er:Show();
ui:InsertFrame(er);
--local edy = VFLUI.LabeledEdit:new(ctr, 75); edy:SetText(i18n("Offset X/Y:")); edy:Show();
--local edx = VFLUI.Edit:new(edy); edx:Show();
--edx:SetHeight(24); edx:SetWidth(75); edx:SetPoint("RIGHT", edy.editBox, "LEFT");
--edy.Destroy = VFL.hook(function() edx:Destroy(); end, edy.Destroy);
--ui:InsertFrame(edy);
function ui:GetDescriptor()
return {
feature = "animation_rotation"; version = 1;
name = "Rotation";
owner = owner:GetSelection();
duration = duration.editBox:GetText();
degrees = degrees.editBox:GetText();
origin = origin:GetSelection();
};
end
return ui;
end;
CreateDescriptor = function()
return {
feature = "animation_rotation", version = 1,
name = "Rotation", owner = "Base", duration = 10, degrees = 360,
origin = "CENTER",
};
end;
});
Like I said above, the animation won't automatically start for some reason. Might be my own ignorance? Who knows. If you activate a frame re-paint (ie health/power change) it will start it and then continue going till the window is closed. This code is beta still. Not all the options are implemented and there is no destroy code yet to stop the animation when the window is closed. Use at own risk.
Edit: This animation WILL NOT MOVE IF YOU UNLOCK THE DESKTOP. You will need to re-open the window under a situation where you are not prompting a frame update.
These include a change in health/power, buff gained, buff loss, (I do not believe buff duration will prompt a frame update), roster change(not tested but it might).
Sorry but I am going to talk to Sigg about adding a general AnimationGroup to each unitframe either in the form of a feature or pre-built into the unitframe.
