Animation Class

Extends Component, EventTarget(mixin)

Module: cc

The animation component is used to play back animations.

Animation provide several events to register：

• play : Emit when begin playing animation
• stop : Emit when stop playing animation
• pause : Emit when pause animation
• resume : Emit when resume animation
• lastframe : If animation repeat count is larger than 1, emit when animation play to the last frame
• finished : Emit when finish playing animation

Details

Properties

defaultClip

Animation will play the default clip when start game.

currentClip

Current played clip.

_clips

All the clips used in this animation.

playOnLoad

Whether the animation should auto play the default clip when start game.

__eventTargets

Register all related EventTargets, all event callbacks will be removed in _onPreDestroy

node

The node this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a node.

Examples

cc.log(comp.node);

uuid

The uuid for editor.

Examples

cc.log(comp.uuid);

_enabled

enabled

indicates whether this component is enabled or not.

Examples

comp.enabled = true;
cc.log(comp.enabled);

enabledInHierarchy

indicates whether this component is enabled and its node is also active in the hierarchy.

Examples

cc.log(comp.enabledInHierarchy);

_isOnLoadCalled

Returns a value which used to indicate the onLoad get called or not.

Examples

cc.log(this._isOnLoadCalled > 0);

_name

_objFlags

name

The name of the object.

Examples

obj.name = "New Obj";

isValid

Indicates whether the object is not yet destroyed. (It will not be available after being destroyed)
When an object's destroy is called, it is actually destroyed after the end of this frame. So isValid will return false from the next frame, while isValid in the current frame will still be true. If you want to determine whether the current frame has called destroy, use cc.isValid(obj, true), but this is often caused by a particular logical requirements, which is not normally required.

Examples

var node = new cc.Node();
cc.log(node.isValid);    // true
node.destroy();
cc.log(node.isValid);    // true, still valid in this frame
// after a frame...
cc.log(node.isValid);    // false, destroyed in the end of last frame

Methods

getClips

Get all the clips used in this animation.

play

Plays an animation and stop other animations.

Parameters

• name String The name of animation to play. If no name is supplied then the default animation will be played.
• startTime Number play an animation from startTime

Examples

var animCtrl = this.node.getComponent(cc.Animation);
animCtrl.play("linear");

playAdditive

Plays an additive animation, it will not stop other animations. If there are other animations playing, then will play several animations at the same time.

Parameters

• name String The name of animation to play. If no name is supplied then the default animation will be played.
• startTime Number play an animation from startTime

Examples

// linear_1 and linear_2 at the same time playing.
var animCtrl = this.node.getComponent(cc.Animation);
animCtrl.playAdditive("linear_1");
animCtrl.playAdditive("linear_2");

stop

Stops an animation named name. If no name is supplied then stops all playing animations that were started with this Animation.
Stopping an animation also Rewinds it to the Start.

Parameters

• name String The animation to stop, if not supplied then stops all playing animations.

pause

Pauses an animation named name. If no name is supplied then pauses all playing animations that were started with this Animation.

Parameters

• name String The animation to pauses, if not supplied then pauses all playing animations.

resume

Resumes an animation named name. If no name is supplied then resumes all paused animations that were started with this Animation.

Parameters

• name String The animation to resumes, if not supplied then resumes all paused animations.

setCurrentTime

Make an animation named name go to the specified time. If no name is supplied then make all animations go to the specified time.

Parameters

• time Number The time to go to
• name String Specified animation name, if not supplied then make all animations go to the time.

getAnimationState

Returns the animation state named name. If no animation with the specified name, the function will return null.

Parameters

• name String

addClip

Adds a clip to the animation with name newName. If a clip with that name already exists it will be replaced with the new clip.

Parameters

• clip AnimationClip the clip to add
• newName String

removeClip

Remove clip from the animation list. This will remove the clip and any animation states based on it. If there are animation states depand on the clip are playing or clip is defaultClip, it will not delete the clip. But if force is true, then will always remove the clip and any animation states based on it. If clip is defaultClip, defaultClip will be reset to null

Parameters

• clip AnimationClip
• force Boolean If force is true, then will always remove the clip and any animation states based on it.

sample

Samples animations at the current state.
This is useful when you explicitly want to set up some animation state, and sample it once.

Parameters

• name String

on

Register animation event callback. The event arguments will provide the AnimationState which emit the event. When play an animation, will auto register the event callback to the AnimationState, and unregister the event callback from the AnimationState when animation stopped.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.
• callback Function The callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

                         The callback is ignored if it is a duplicate (the callbacks are unique).
  

• state cc.AnimationState
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, can be null
• useCapture Boolean When set to true, the capture argument prevents callback

                         from being invoked when the event's eventPhase attribute value is BUBBLING_PHASE.
                         When false, callback will NOT be invoked when event's eventPhase attribute value is CAPTURING_PHASE.
                         Either way, callback will be invoked when event's eventPhase attribute value is AT_TARGET.
  

Examples

onPlay: function (type, state) {
    // callback
}

// register event to all animation
animation.on('play', this.onPlay, this);

off

Unregister animation event callback.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type being removed.
• callback Function The callback to remove.
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, if it's not given, only callback without target will be removed
• useCapture Boolean Specifies whether the callback being removed was registered as a capturing callback or not.

                         If not specified, useCapture defaults to false. If a callback was registered twice,
                         one with capture and one without, each must be removed separately. Removal of a capturing callback
                         does not affect a non-capturing version of the same listener, and vice versa.
  

Examples

// unregister event to all animation
animation.off('play', this.onPlay, this);

hasEventListener

Checks whether the EventTarget object has any callback registered for a specific type of event.

Parameters

• type String The type of event.

targetOff

Removes all callbacks previously registered with the same target (passed as parameter). This is not for removing all listeners in the current event target, and this is not for removing all listeners the target parameter have registered. It's only for removing all listeners (callback and target couple) registered on the current event target by the target parameter.

Parameters

• target Object The target to be searched for all related listeners

once

Register an callback of a specific event type on the EventTarget, the callback will remove itself after the first time it is triggered.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.
• callback Function The callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

                         The callback is ignored if it is a duplicate (the callbacks are unique).
  

  • arg1 Any arg1
  • arg2 Any arg2
  • arg3 Any arg3
  • arg4 Any arg4
  • arg5 Any arg5
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, can be null

Examples

eventTarget.once('fire', function () {
    cc.log("this is the callback and will be invoked only once");
}, node);

emit

Trigger an event directly with the event name and necessary arguments.

Parameters

• type String event type
• arg1 Any First argument
• arg2 Any Second argument
• arg3 Any Third argument
• arg4 Any Fourth argument
• arg5 Any Fifth argument

Examples

eventTarget.emit('fire', event);
eventTarget.emit('fire', message, emitter);

dispatchEvent

Send an event with the event object.

Parameters

• event Event

update

Update is called every frame, if the Component is enabled.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

Parameters

• dt Number the delta time in seconds it took to complete the last frame

lateUpdate

LateUpdate is called every frame, if the Component is enabled.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

__preload

__preload is called before every onLoad. It is used to initialize the builtin components internally, to avoid checking whether onLoad is called before every public method calls. This method should be removed if script priority is supported.

onLoad

When attaching to an active node or its node first activated. onLoad is always called before any start functions, this allows you to order initialization of scripts.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

start

Called before all scripts' update if the Component is enabled the first time. Usually used to initialize some logic which need to be called after all components' onload methods called.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

onEnable

Called when this component becomes enabled and its node is active.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

onDisable

Called when this component becomes disabled or its node becomes inactive.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

onDestroy

Called when this component will be destroyed.
This is a lifecycle method. It may not be implemented in the super class. You can only call its super class method inside it. It should not be called manually elsewhere.

onFocusInEditor

onLostFocusInEditor

resetInEditor

Called to initialize the component or node’s properties when adding the component the first time or when the Reset command is used. This function is only called in editor.

addComponent

Adds a component class to the node. You can also add component to node by passing in the name of the script.

Parameters

• typeOrClassName Function | String the constructor or the class name of the component to add

Examples

var sprite = node.addComponent(cc.Sprite);
var test = node.addComponent("Test");

getComponent

Returns the component of supplied type if the node has one attached, null if it doesn't.
You can also get component in the node by passing in the name of the script.

Parameters

• typeOrClassName Function | String

Examples

// get sprite component.
var sprite = node.getComponent(cc.Sprite);
// get custom test calss.
var test = node.getComponent("Test");

getComponents

Returns all components of supplied Type in the node.

Parameters

• typeOrClassName Function | String

Examples

var sprites = node.getComponents(cc.Sprite);
var tests = node.getComponents("Test");

getComponentInChildren

Returns the component of supplied type in any of its children using depth first search.

Parameters

• typeOrClassName Function | String

Examples

var sprite = node.getComponentInChildren(cc.Sprite);
var Test = node.getComponentInChildren("Test");

getComponentsInChildren

Returns the components of supplied type in self or any of its children using depth first search.

Parameters

• typeOrClassName Function | String

Examples

var sprites = node.getComponentsInChildren(cc.Sprite);
var tests = node.getComponentsInChildren("Test");

_getLocalBounds

If the component's bounding box is different from the node's, you can implement this method to supply a custom axis aligned bounding box (AABB), so the editor's scene view can perform hit test properly.

Parameters

• out_rect Rect the Rect to receive the bounding box

onRestore

onRestore is called after the user clicks the Reset item in the Inspector's context menu or performs an undo operation on this component.

If the component contains the "internal state", short for "temporary member variables which not included
in its CCClass properties", then you may need to implement this function.

The editor will call the getset accessors of your component to record/restore the component's state
for undo/redo operation. However, in extreme cases, it may not works well. Then you should implement
this function to manually synchronize your component's "internal states" with its public properties.
Once you implement this function, all the getset accessors of your component will not be called when
the user performs an undo/redo operation. Which means that only the properties with default value
will be recorded or restored by editor.

Similarly, the editor may failed to reset your component correctly in extreme cases. Then if you need
to support the reset menu, you should manually synchronize your component's "internal states" with its
properties in this function. Once you implement this function, all the getset accessors of your component
will not be called during reset operation. Which means that only the properties with default value
will be reset by editor.

This function is only called in editor mode.

schedule

Schedules a custom selector.
If the selector is already scheduled, then the interval parameter will be updated without scheduling it again.

Parameters

• callback function The callback function
• interval Number Tick interval in seconds. 0 means tick every frame.
• repeat Number The selector will be executed (repeat + 1) times, you can use cc.macro.REPEAT_FOREVER for tick infinitely.
• delay Number The amount of time that the first tick will wait before execution.

Examples

var timeCallback = function (dt) {
  cc.log("time: " + dt);
}
this.schedule(timeCallback, 1);

scheduleOnce

Schedules a callback function that runs only once, with a delay of 0 or larger.

Parameters

• callback function A function wrapped as a selector
• delay Number The amount of time that the first tick will wait before execution.

Examples

var timeCallback = function (dt) {
  cc.log("time: " + dt);
}
this.scheduleOnce(timeCallback, 2);

unschedule

Unschedules a custom callback function.

Parameters

• callback_fn function A function wrapped as a selector

Examples

this.unschedule(_callback);

unscheduleAllCallbacks

unschedule all scheduled callback functions: custom callback functions, and the 'update' callback function.
Actions are not affected by this method.

Examples

this.unscheduleAllCallbacks();

destroy

Destroy this Object, and release all its own references to other objects.
Actual object destruction will delayed until before rendering. From the next frame, this object is not usable any more. You can use cc.isValid(obj) to check whether the object is destroyed before accessing it.

Examples

obj.destroy();

_destruct

Clear all references in the instance.

NOTE: this method will not clear the getter or setter functions which defined in the instance of CCObject. You can override the _destruct method if you need, for example: _destruct: function () { for (var key in this) { if (this.hasOwnProperty(key)) { switch (typeof this[key]) { case 'string': this[key] = ''; break; case 'object': case 'function': this[key] = null; break; } } }

_onPreDestroy

Called before the object being destroyed.

_serialize

The customized serialization for this object. (Editor Only)

Parameters

• exporting Boolean

_deserialize

Init this object from the custom serialized data.

Parameters

• data Object the serialized json data
• ctx _Deserializer
