PaperZD State machine and Event system extension for Paper2D

@QuantaCat

Hey, thanks for creating this plugin, I had a question and a potential bug Ive found, bug first:

For some reason shortcuts arent working when Im using the animation graph (stuff like F2 to rename, C to comment, etc), when I do press F2 in the animation graph, it opens up the node Ive selected to the animation attached to it, and when I switch back, the name of the node is selected and changeable. Am I missing something here? (basic commands like copy paste, etc, are all working fine though) ((and with further testing, stuff like align nodes in multiple ways works too))

and also, is it possible to set or play flipbooks to a certain frame or event? Any fine control of a flipbook assigned to a node? I just feel weird about having 6 different nodes for each idle facing state of a character in isometric, for example. Something that could be solved by having all of the idle states in a single flip book and just switch or play back & forth.

Thanks!
Tom.

Hi there!
Yes, that’s a known issue… i haven’t been able to bind the shortcuts on the editor for some reason, the commands just don’t get bound.
Hopefully i can get onto fixing those issues soon, when i have the time.

Regarding the playback and how it interacts with the flipbook itself, the default animation sequence only supports one flipbook, and the animation state doesn’t let you choose more than one animation state. I’m working on an isometric kind of game eventually and will hop onto solving that issue at hand. In the meantime, what other projects do is create their own AnimationSequence and change them so they support multiple animations and just change them depending on where the character is facing. That would need some C++ knowledge though.

Hope that answers some questions, sorry for the delay answering, the forums don’t notify me when i get new answers and i’m mostly on discord lately.

If you have more questions let me know, i’ll do my best to help out!
