I’m trying to make a class AnimationChain that will play a list of Animations in an AnimationPlayer back to back. This part is working fine. However, I also want it to detect if another animation is played on the AnimationPlayer that interrupts the AnimationChain.
i.e. I start a chain of animations like [“idledown”, “idleright”, “idleleft”] with the AnimationChain and then somewhere else in code I call AnimationPlayer.play(“idleup”) while the AnimationChain is still running.
The problem is that I tried to connect the "animation_changed" signal to a function on the AnimationChain class and it is never fired. I tried the same with "animation_started" and it fires as usual.
Here is the code for AnimationChain:
extends Node
class_name AnimationChain
signal finished
var animation_player: AnimationPlayer
var is_interrupted = false
var is_playing = false
func _init(ap: AnimationPlayer):
animation_player = ap
var err = animation_player.connect("animation_changed", self, "interrupted")
if err:
print("Error initializing AnimationChain")
err = animation_player.connect("animation_started", self, "started")
if err:
print("Error initializing AnimationChain")
func started(_new_name: String):
print("Started")
func interrupted(old_name: String, new_name: String):
print("Interrupted ", old_name, "with ", new_name)
is_interrupted = true
func run(animations: PoolStringArray, _durations = null):
is_playing = true
is_interrupted = false
if animation_player.current_animation == animations[0]:
animation_player.seek(0, true)
for i in range(animations.size()):
var animation_name = animations[i]
animation_player.play(animation_name)
yield(animation_player, "animation_finished")
if is_interrupted:
print("Animation chain interrupted, not finishing!")
is_playing = false
emit_signal("finished")
return
is_playing = false
emit_signal("finished")
And I start the AnimationChain with:
bb.animation_chain.run(["idle_down", "idle_down_right", "idle_down_left"])
then interrupt it a few frames later with
animation_player.play("idle_up")
This animates exactly as I expect it to. The started function is called at the beginning of each animation in the chain and when I interrupt with the “idleup” animation, but the interrupt/animation_changed function never is called.
Maybe I’m mistaken when the animation_changed signal is called? Thanks for any suggestions/help!
