Sprite Manager 1 Animation Trouble

Questions & Answers

I'm having trouble getting SpriteManager 1 to play animations. I've looked around and cant seem to find a good example on how to do it properly.

I setup the player and the animation like this 

//Player
GameObject player;
Sprite playerSprite;
public GameObject playerPrefab;

private void setupPlayer() {

        //Create and position the player sprite
        Vector3 playerStartPos = new Vector3(0,0,0);
        player = (GameObject) Instantiate(playerPrefab, playerStartPos, Quaternion.identity);
        playerSprite = spriteManager.AddSprite(player, 0.7f, 1f, 10, 397, 50, 100, false);

        //Run animation
        UVAnimation runAnimation = new UVAnimation();

        Vector2 startPosUV = spriteManager.PixelCoordToUVCoord(10, 397);
        Vector2 spriteSize = spriteManager.PixelSpaceToUVSpace(0, 50);

        runAnimation.BuildUVAnim(startPosUV, spriteSize, 8, 1, 8, 12);
        playerSprite.AddAnimation(runAnimation);

        runAnimation.name = "run";

    }

Then I try to tell the animation to play I do this.

public void Update() {

        playerSprite.PlayAnim("run");

    }

When It calls the animation wont play. I also tried changing the the startPosUv so it was different from the original position. All that happened was when the play was called it went to that position and didn't animate.

Am I missing something?

I believe that you need to call PlayAnim() only once to start the animation. You're calling it every frame in Update() which probably resets the animation back to the first frame, which would explain why your sprite doesn't seem to animate.

Additionally, you may want to set runAnimation.loopCycles to -1 to have the animation loop indefinitely. Otherwise, the animation will only play once and stop.
