I have an animation of 4 (possibly more) frames in an AtlasSprite. I want to display each frame, and also move the sprite after each frame is displayed.
My current thoughts on how to do this:
1. I could use a scheduler, check each frame, and update the position.
2. I could make each frame an individual animation, then an action, and add it to a sequence. Then move the sprite via MoveTo. Would be troublesome in larger animation sequences.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hate to bump the thread, but I'd like to know if there's a better way built into cocos for this. I've search throughout the sdk and haven't found anything that looks like it would make my suggestions above any better.
I plan on having quite a few animations, and I'd like to reduce the coding and potential maintenance as much as possible.
Thanks again.
what we're doing right now with our "hero" character (that has legs), is to create the animation, but we don't run it. At each tick I check the x position of the character, if he has moved lambda_x pixels, I change to the next frame of the animation...
Maybe you could try something like that. If your character is not moving just in the x axis, then you could try getting the distance from last known point, and if that distance is bigger than lamda_d, then change the frame.

Thanks for the reply. I can change frames, that's not the problem.
It's an animation of an arm waving. The body of the character is another sprite underneath. When the arm waves, the should raise up (move up, then down). I've already made the sprite larger to cover the entire range of motion, but I'd like to learn a good way to do it in code.
I read in another post about sub-classing IntervalAction - and using a callback. Maybe this is the way to go if I need to do it in the future?
Thanks!
Hi, I really have a serious problem now. I am building a game. And now my game crashes when I keep moving my fingers too fast. On the simulator is fine, but on the actual iPhone it crashes. I plan on doing something like when the player commit something, it will disable the touches until the animation finished. But I don know how to disable it and enable it again at ease. Could you guys help me out, or have any other better ideas please help me. I truely appreciate any helps
yea i try. let me show you my code
if ((touchCount > 0 && touchCount ==2) && (rangeY2 > 0.0 && rangeY2 < 20.0))
{
bras++;
self.isTouchEnabled = NO;
if (currentBox == 0 || currentBox == 4 || currentBox == 8)
{
[self braOpenAnimation];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.8f target:self selector:@selector(loadPinkBra) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
} else if(currentBox == 1|| currentBox == 5 || currentBox == 9) {
//self.isTouchEnabled = YES;
[self braOpenAnimationPink];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.8f target:self selector:@selector(loadPurpleBra) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}
else if(currentBox == 2 || currentBox == 6 || currentBox == 10)
{
[self braOpenAnimationPurple];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.4f target:self selector:@selector(loadBlueBra) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}
else if(currentBox == 3 || currentBox == 7)
{
[self braOpenAnimationBlue];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.4f target:self selector:@selector(loadBlackBra) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}
then within the function I set enable it.
