Forums » Help » check for animation end?

can anyone confirm if the following actually works:

if( this.currentAnim.loopCount > 0 ) {
	// played through at least once
}

i pulled this code from another post and was suggested by Dom but doesn't seem to work worth a shit.

i basically need to play through an animation once and then switch to a different animation and this code aint doin it. I also tried adding .rewind to my animation but that shit don't work either...very frustrating.

it works.
Maybe you need to check for the correct animation first?
if you have a animation before your current animation you need to check the loopCount.

Show some code if you want more help.

This is the code im using in my game:

this.currentAnim = this.anims.swipe;
if( this.currentAnim.loopCount > 0 ) {
	// played through at least once
	this.currentAnim = this.anims.walk;
}

i also tried appending .rewind to the following:
this.currentAnim = this.anims.swipe.rewind();

but doesn't make a difference.

is there something im missing?

Where did you put that code? It should be in your entity&039;s #update() method - i.e. you need to check each frame "is this animation done yet"?

Edit: if you post code snippets, please use the ## symbols around your code. It will be easier to read with syntax highlighting and proper indentation. E.g.:

## 
... your code
## 

yes its in the update method

Does the animation visually appear to be looping?

Did you inspect this.currentAnim with your debugger? Or are there any error messages in the javascript console? Can you post the sprite sheet used for this animation and the initialization code for the swipe-anim?
