public class AnimationRenderComponent extends RenderComponent
Renders animations from a texture atlas on an entity.

Example usage: 

   AnimationRenderComponent animator = new AnimationRenderComponent("player.atlas");
   entity.addComponent(animator);
   animator.addAnimation("attack", 0.1f); // Only need to add animation once per entity
   animator.startAnimation("attack");
Texture atlases can be created using:
- libgdx texture packer (included in External Libraries/gdx-tools)
- gdx-texture-packer-gui (recommended) https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui
- other third-party tools, e.g. https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker

  • Method Details

    • addAnimation

      public boolean addAnimation(String name, float frameDuration)
      Register an animation from the texture atlas. Will play once when called with startAnimation()
      Parameters:
      name - Name of the animation. Must match the name of this animation inside the texture atlas.
      frameDuration - How long, in seconds, to show each frame of the animation for when playing
      Returns:

    • addAnimation

      public boolean addAnimation(String name, float frameDuration, com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.Animation.PlayMode playMode)
      Register an animation from the texture atlas.
      Parameters:
      name - Name of the animation. Must match the name of this animation inside the texture atlas.
      frameDuration - How long, in seconds, to show each frame of the animation for when playing
