Animating rotation via properties

[piotr.karkocha]

Hi,

following some of the tutorials, like using custom component system, I made a property for animating a rotation of an object. 
Unfortunatelly it does not work at all.

Could you please have a look at the code:

Rotator.h

#pragma once
#include <UnigineNode.h>
#include <UniginePhysics.h>
#include "../../ComponentSystem/ComponentSystem.h"
#include "Players/VRPlayer.h"

class Rotator : public ComponentBase

{
public:
	COMPONENT(Rotator, ComponentBase);
	COMPONENT_INIT(init);
	COMPONENT_UPDATE(update);

	// property
	PROP_NAME("Rotator");
	PROP_AUTOSAVE(0);

	PROP_PARAM(Float, animation_speed, 0.5f);
	PROP_PARAM(Float, turn_speed, 30.0f);
	PROP_PARAM(Float, acceleration, 5.0f);

protected:
	void init();
	void update();

private:

	float start_turn_speed = 10;
};

Rotator.cpp

#include "Rotator.h"
#include <UnigineGame.h>
#include <UnigineEditor.h>

REGISTER_COMPONENT(Rotator);

using namespace Unigine;
using namespace Math;

void Rotator::init()

{
	start_turn_speed = turn_speed;
}



void Rotator::update()

{
	float ifps = Game::get()->getIFps();
	turn_speed = turn_speed + acceleration * ifps;
	node->setRotation(node->getRotation() * quat(0, 0, turn_speed * ifps));
}

What am I doing wrong?

The object i´m trying to animate is a dynamic mesh.

Hi Piotr,

Perhaps you've forgotten to initialize the Component System by adding the following code to the AppSystemLogic.cpp:

int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
	// ...
	// initialize ComponentSystem and register all components
	ComponentSystem::get()->initialize();
	return 1;
}

As the Component System is initialized, you can add the Rotator component to your node via code like this:

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
      //...
      // get your node by name - e.g. "DynamicMesh"
      NodePtr node = Editor::get()->getNodeByName("DynamicMesh");
	
      // add the Rotator component to your node
      ComponentSystem::get()->addComponent<Rotator>(node->getNode());

	return 1;
}

And your code should work fine.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi Fox,

my project is based on the VR Sample, so the component system is already initialized. 
I also have assigned the property to the node in the editor, so this should work too. 
But the object does not rotate. So I guess the problem must be somewhere else....

Hi,

i got it to work.

Thanks!

Glad to hear that, Piotr!

Just wanted to ask you for a small sample, cause in case of using the VR Sample I've got everything working fine ))

Thanks!
