** By jlynes ** SpriteSheet Animation Control

**By jlynes **

My first game project is just about wrapped up, I’ll announce it on here when it hits on Google Play, big thank you to everyone here for the assistance as I’ve been learning this engine.

Now for the question:

I’ve set up an animation timer for a sprite sheet and I’m calling it back with:

ETHEntity@ hamster = SeekEntity(“hamster.ent”);

FrameTimer@ frameTimer;

hamster.GetObject(“frameTimer”, @frametimer);

frameTimer.update(0, 1,0);

const uint currentFrame = frameTimer.getCurrentFrame();

hamster.SetUInt(“directionLine”, 0);



hamster.SetFrame(currentFrame, hamster.GetUInt(“directionLine”));

it works…however, in my last game it played through on repeat. For this one, I’m wanting the animation to play on a button press and end when another objects velocity is zero. I have the general idea of how that’s going to work, but when I push the button the sprite sheet just advances 1 frame instead of playing. Any ideas why?
