I find my own solution;
I didnt noticed that there is an option in bluprint variables “expose on cinematic”. You should create a bool variable, check “expose on cinematic” and trigger this from sequencer. In my example I’ve made event begin play stop the flipbook, then play the flipbook when variable triggered.
I am doing 2d pixel art platformer and I am making cinematic intro. I wish to show camera a flipbook animation after some camera movement… In my example first I zoom in the player’s face, then I will show my dream flipbook. But I cant figure it how to start flipbook animation from beginning. Generally where ever I left in viewport it starts from same frame. I tried auto-active and play rate, both are useless. Is there anyway? Maybe from blueprint?
Hi, I know this is from years ago but I just came across this with similar issue. Do you think you can possibly break down what you did to achieve this? Im new to BP so I am having trouble setting what you posted up properly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, I will try this out!
Also-- can you by any chance give me a screen shot of all of that and how it is set up? Im so new to BP i feel I may get lost in the process of this or if you can tell me what exactly to do in linking and such? Sorry if this may seem a bit much of a request.
Another solution I found is like this; select the flipbook need to be start from zero, than create a reference in level blueprint, in the event begin play of level blueprint, make them “play from start” with that node, then set playrate “0”, then after in the seqeuencer select them, put in sequencer and set their playrate 1 again where you want. Thats it!
Also how would I make a reference in the level BP?
I think its better for you to work on blueprints fundementals first… Click the actor in the scene, open level bp, then right click inside the level bp, you’ll see “create a reference” option there
Sorry… one more question… when I try to get the “play from start” node in the level seq BP, it doesnt seem to be available. is this due to the fact I need to do that in the animations BP?
Yes I will have to. unfortunately with time constraint with this project Im battling learning it and getting this done at the same time. This helps me alot thank you. Im trying to see how I can piece this all together within the time crunch, Ill try and figure out how to piece it together
your actor should be a flipbook.
Hi, so I figured it out and managed to have it start when I want to which is great. my only issue is that the flipbook will not start on its first frame but starts on a random frame when played, do you have any idea why that is?
life savor thanks a lot
Anyone have a screenshot for this??
