Spritemaps in Masklists

(rostok) #1

Hello, I have a Graphiclist with couple of animated SpriteMaps. What I would like to achieve is animated Masklist. Is it possible? If so, how?

So what you really want? An animated colision box? An animated Pixelmask?

@rostok I assume you’d like to synchronize masks with frames of animation, like having a mask that corresponds with each frame of an animation. Is this what you’re trying to achieve?

I have an entity with graphics represented by two Spritemaps and grouped into GraphicList. I would like to detect collisions based on animated pixelmasks. Not only masks should be synchronized with spritemaps as Zach suggested but also trigger collision for both of them.

If you really need a pixelmask, this might help you. You’ll have to modify the code so you render the pixelmask instead of the Spritemap.

And to trigger both spritemaps sycronyzed you can use this:

var graphics:Vector.<Graphic> = graphiclist.children;
for (var i:int = 0; i < graphics.length; i++)
{
    (graphics[i] as Spritemap).play(/*The parameters you need*/);
}

Also, if you know how many you’ll have you can make a class wich extends Graphic or save them before add them in the pixelmask (they are not cloned so you can use that to control them).

… You should use the render function :

 public function Object(x:Number=0, y:Number=0) 
	{

		_maskSource = new BitmapData(width, height true, 0);
		var pixelmask:Pixelmask = new Pixelmask(_maskSource);
		

                sprFX.add("fire", [0,1,2], 13, true);
		sprFX.play("fire");
				
		mask = pixelmask;

		this.x = x;
		this.y = y;

	}
	
        override public function added():void 
	{
		super.added();
			
		graphic = new Graphiclist(sprFX);
			
	}
	
	override public function render():void 
	{
		_maskSource.fillRect(_maskSource.rect, 0);
		sprFX.render(_maskSource, new Point, new Point);
		
		super.render();
	}

Thanks guys, I solved my problem by just changing mask based on current entity state.
