Hello guys!

I want to make a short animation (1-2second long), that plays before the trainer form shows up.
I already read some stuff about the animation, and how to make it work using a timer, but i dont know if it's possible to run it before the trainer shows up.
Any suggestions?
I tried to search for a thread or something related, but i can't find anything.

Thanks!

create a new form (borderless, centered on the screen) with the animation in it.

when the last frame has been rendered (or after 2 seconds) hide/destroy that form, and show the trainer form

(So don't show the trainerform when it launches, show the animationform instead)

Hello once again Razz
I am trying to figure out how to hide the form when the last frame gets rendered, but i cant seem to figure it out. I used the timer from /viewtopic.php?t=579732 , and it works like a charm. But i cant figure out how to stop it..

From my understanding, some thing like
Code:
If frame == 30 then
     UDF1.Close()

should work. But it doesnt. It just keeps cycling through the frames.

Thanks once again, and sorry!

add a showMessage() to see if your code gets executed (perhaps frame is never 30)

(and your animation form is called UDF1?l

I guess that you meant to add it in the if statement i mentioned. Well, it works and it displays my message. But not when frame_030 gets rendered. It shows up everytime i execute the code.
And yes, i didn't name the form(for now). I thought that i understand timers, but i guess not Razz

Here is the code
Code:

UDF1.Show();
playSound(findTableFile("test.wav"))

local ts,r=tostring,nil;
r = function(s,c,l)s,c,l=ts(s),ts(c),l+0;s=(#s<l and r(c..s,c,l) or s);return s;end; -- simple function to pad zeros
local main = UDF1.CEImage1; -- target
local fmin,fmax = 0,30; -- min frame, max frame
animation = animation or createTimer(getMainForm(),true);
animation.Interval = math.floor(1/30*1000); -- 30 fps
animation.onTimer = function (t)

   local tag,id = string.match(main.Hint,"(%a+)_(%d+)"); -- find frame and the number from Hint
   if (tag and id) then
      id = (id+0>=fmax and fmin or id+1);
   else
      tag,id = 'frame',0; -- hint is not set, so let's set it.
   end

   local frame = string.format('frame_%03d.gif',id) -- frame_001.gif for example
   main.Hint = frame; -- Storage.. lazy to use a variable;
   main.picture.loadFromStream(findTableFile(frame).stream); -- find table file and load it into the image object
end
   if frame == frame_030 then
      showMessage("works")
   end

UDF1.OnClose = function (sender)
    return caFree
end


Thanks once again

That's because you have something like this
Code:

animationForm.show()

-- setup animation timer that will start to change the image
animation.onTimer = function (t)
  ... -- change image
end

-- check if on frame_030
-- note the timer was just created, it may not have even had time to run yet
-- also using global 'frame' variable not the 'frame' variable created in the animation timer (which is "local" to that function)
if frame == frame_030 then
   showMessage("works")
end



put the check inside the timer so that it's checked when the frame is changed.

Well, i feel stupid now. That makes sense. Thanks man!
Using showMessage ended up just spamming the string that i typed, but Close() seems to work fine.

This is the code right now, and it seems to work fine
Code:
UDF1.Show();

local ts,r=tostring,nil;
r = function(s,c,l)s,c,l=ts(s),ts(c),l+0;s=(#s<l and r(c..s,c,l) or s);return s;end; -- simple function to pad zeros
local main = UDF1.CEImage1; -- target
local fmin,fmax = 0,30; -- min frame, max frame
animation = animation or createTimer(getMainForm(),true);
animation.Interval = math.floor(1/30*1000); -- 30 fps
animation.onTimer = function (t)

   local tag,id = string.match(main.Hint,"(%a+)_(%d+)"); -- find frame and the number from Hint
   if (tag and id) then
      id = (id+0>=fmax and fmin or id+1);
   else
      tag,id = 'frame',0; -- hint is not set, so let's set it.
   end

   if id == 30 then
      UDF1.Close()
   end

   local frame = string.format('frame_%03d.gif',id) -- frame_001.gif for example
   main.Hint = frame; -- Storage.. lazy to use a variable;
   main.picture.loadFromStream(findTableFile(frame).stream); -- find table file and load it into the image object
end


UDF1.OnClose = function (sender)
    return caHide
end

Thanks once again!
