Class AnimLayer

java.lang.Object

com.jme3.anim.AnimLayer

All Implemented Interfaces:

JmeCloneable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class AnimLayer
extends java.lang.Object
implements JmeCloneable

A named portion of an AnimComposer that can run (at most) one Action at a time.

A composer with multiple layers can run multiple actions simultaneously. For instance, one layer could run a "wave" action on the model's upper body while another ran a "walk" action on the model's lower body.

A layer cannot be shared between multiple composers.

Animation time may advance at a different rate from application time, based on speedup factors in the composer and the current Action.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	cloneFields(Cloner cloner, java.lang.Object original) Converts this shallow-cloned layer into a deep-cloned one, using the specified Cloner and original to resolve copied fields.
Action	getCurrentAction() Returns the Action that's currently running.
java.lang.Object	getManager() Returns the current manager.
AnimationMask	getMask() Returns the animation mask.
java.lang.String	getName() Returns the layer name.
double	getTime() Returns the animation time, in scaled seconds.
java.lang.Object	jmeClone() Performs a regular shallow clone of the object.
void	setCurrentAction(Action actionToRun) Runs the specified Action, starting from time = 0.
void	setManager(java.lang.Object manager) Assigns the specified manager.
void	setTime(double animationTime) Changes the animation time, wrapping the specified time to fit the current Action.

Method Detail

getCurrentAction

public Action getCurrentAction()

Returns the Action that's currently running.

Returns:

the pre-existing instance, or null if none

getManager

public java.lang.Object getManager()

Returns the current manager.

Returns:

the pre-existing object (such as an AnimEvent) or null for unknown

getMask

public AnimationMask getMask()

Returns the animation mask.

Returns:

the pre-existing instance, or null if this layer can animate the entire model

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the layer name.

Returns:

the name of this layer

getTime

public double getTime()

Returns the animation time, in scaled seconds.

Returns:

the current animation time (not negative)

setCurrentAction

public void setCurrentAction(Action actionToRun)

Runs the specified Action, starting from time = 0. This cancels any Action previously running on this layer.

Parameters:

actionToRun - the Action to run (alias created) or null for no action

setManager

public void setManager(java.lang.Object manager)

Assigns the specified manager. This cancels any manager previously assigned.

Parameters:

manager - the desired manager (such as an AnimEvent, alias created) or null for unknown manager

setTime

public void setTime(double animationTime)

Changes the animation time, wrapping the specified time to fit the current Action. An Action must be running.

Parameters:

animationTime - the desired time (in scaled seconds)

cloneFields

public void cloneFields(Cloner cloner,
                        java.lang.Object original)

Converts this shallow-cloned layer into a deep-cloned one, using the specified Cloner and original to resolve copied fields.

The clone's current Action gets nulled out. Its manager and mask get aliased to the original's manager and mask.

Specified by:

cloneFields in interface JmeCloneable

Parameters:

cloner - the Cloner that's cloning this layer (not null)

original - the instance from which this layer was shallow-cloned (not null, unaffected)

jmeClone

public java.lang.Object jmeClone()

Description copied from interface: JmeCloneable

Performs a regular shallow clone of the object. Some fields may also be cloned but generally only if they will never be shared with other objects. (For example, local Vector3fs and so on.)

This method is separate from the regular clone() method so that objects might still maintain their own regular java clone() semantics (perhaps even using Cloner for those methods). However, because Java's clone() has specific features in the sense of Object's clone() implementation, it's usually best to have some path for subclasses to bypass the public clone() method that might be cloning fields and instead get at the superclass protected clone() methods. For example, through super.jmeClone() or another protected clone method that some base class eventually calls super.clone() in.

Specified by:

jmeClone in interface JmeCloneable

Returns:

a new instance
