UIFlipbookAnimationComponent

The UIFlipbookAnimationComponent animates the display of a range of cells in a sprite sheet image. You must use an Image component along with the UIFlipbookAnimationComponent component.

UiFlipbookAnimationBus

Services messages for the UiFlipbookAnimationComponent.

Start

Begins playing the flipbook animation.

Syntax

void Start()

Stop

Ends the animation.

Syntax

void End()

IsPlaying

Returns true if the animation is currently playing. Otherwise, false.

Syntax

void IsPlaying()

GetStartFrame

Returns the first frame to display when starting the animation.

Syntax

AZ::u32 GetStartFrame()

SetStartFrame

Sets the first frame to display when starting the animation.

Syntax

void SetStartFrame(AZ::u32 startFrame)

GetEndFrame

Returns the last frame to display for the animation.

Syntax

AZ::u32 GetEndFrame()

SetEndFrame

Sets the last frame to display for the animation.

Syntax

void SetEndFrame(AZ::u32 endFrame)

GetCurrentFrame

Returns the frame of the animation currently displayed.

Syntax

AZ::u32 GetCurrentFrame()

SetCurrentFrame

Sets the frame to immediately display for the animation.

Syntax

void SetCurrentFrame(AZ::u32 currentFrame)

GetLoopStartFrame

Returns the first frame that is displayed within an animation loop.

Applicable only when the Loop Type is set to anything other than None.

Syntax

AZ::u32 GetLoopStartFrame()

SetLoopStartFrame

Sets the first frame that is displayed within an animation loop.

Applicable only when the Loop Type is set to anything other than None.

Syntax

void SetLoopStartFrame(AZ::u32 loopStartFrame)

GetLoopType

Returns the type of looping behavior for this animation.

Syntax

eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType GetLoopType()

See SetLoopType for a list of possible loop type values.

SetLoopType

Sets the type of looping behavior for this animation.

Syntax

void SetLoopType(eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType loopType)

Possible loop types are as follows:

enum eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType
    {
        eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType_None,
        eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType_Linear,
        eUiFlipbookAnimationLoopType_PingPong
    };

Each type performs a different looping action:

• None – Animation ends when end frame is reached.
• Linear – The frame displayed after the end frame is always the Loop Start Frame.
• PingPong – The direction of the animation loop goes back and forth between the start frame and the end frame.

GetFrameDelay

Returns the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next frame.

Syntax

float GetFrameDelay()

SetFrameDelay

Sets the number of seconds to wait before displaying the next frame.

Syntax

void SetFrameDelay(float delay)

GetIsAutoPlay

Returns true if the animation will begin playing as soon as the element is activated. Otherwise, false.

Syntax

bool GetIsAutoPlay()

SetIsAutoPlay

Sets whether the animation will begin playing as soon as the element is activated.

Syntax

void SetIsAutoPlay(bool isAutoPlay)

UiFlipbookAnimationNotificationBus

Notifies listeners of important events concerning the UiFlipbookAnimationComponent.

OnAnimationStarted

The flipbook animation has begun playing.

Syntax

void OnAnimationStarted()

OnAnimationStopped

The flipbook animation has stopped playing.

Syntax

void OnAnimationStopped()

OnLoopSequenceCompleted

The flipbook animation has completed one loop iteration. This triggers only when the Loop Type of the flipbook animation is configured to anything other than None.

For Linear loops, this triggers when End Frame is displayed.

For Ping Pong loops, this triggers when either Start Frame or End Frame is displayed (depending on the current loop direction of the loop).

Syntax

void OnLoopSequenceCompleted()
