Hiding a tk2dAnimatedSprite

[arkanoid87]

Hello

I'm trying to hide a tk2dAnimatedSprite.

With tk2dSprite I can disable the renderer or the entire gameobject, but the same option seems not not available on animated sprites. Am I wrong?

Currently I'm hiding the object by moving it outside the view, is it the supposed way of hiding it?

Thank you

You can just deactivate the game object.

sprite.gameObject.active = false;

I've found out that I need at least one tk2dAnimatedSprite playing any animation to use renderer or gameobject toggle. If no animations are playing (no mesh update cycle I suppose) the toggle checkboxes won't work.

Thats weird, you should be able to turn off the MeshRenderer no problem. Anyway, its much more efficient to disable the gameobject.

I've solved by enabling/disabling the gameobject only when starting animations.

my problem now is quite different, inside a coroutine I launch:

Code: [Select]

myTk2dAnimatedSprite.gameObject.active = true;
myTk2dAnimatedSprite.Play( "myAnimationName" );
but during the following frame myTk2dAnimatedSprite.spriteID is shown and only the next frame myAnimationName displays the first frame. This makes the previous sprite flashing on screen for one frame.

Is there any provided solution for this or I should "yield return null" to skip one frame before enabling the gameobject?

thank you

I will be issuing a fix for this in the next release. Whats happening is that play doesn't update the frame itself, that happens in Update, but when you call it from a coroutine, Update only gets called in the next frame.
