cocos2d-x sprite animation using .plist

Question

Iam new to cocos2d-x and having problem running sprite animation from .plist file in android. below is the code iam using to animate my sprite in ccTouchesBegan

I have my plist file in resources folder

void HelloWorld::ccTouchesBegan(cocos2d::CCSet *pTouches, cocos2d::CCEvent *pEvent)
{
    mole->stopAllActions();

    CCArray *frames = CCArray::create();
    for(int i = 1; i <= 11; i++)
    {
        CCString *frame = CCString::createWithFormat("b%04d.png", i);
        frames->addObject(CCSpriteFrameCache::sharedSpriteFrameCache()->spriteFrameByName(frame->getCString()));
    }
    mole->runAction(CCAnimate::create(CCAnimation::create(frames,.15)));
}

and getting the following log:

on line 144: i have this

bool CCAnimation::initWithAnimationFrames(CCArray* arrayOfAnimationFrames, float delayPerUnit, unsigned int loops){

please help!

Answer 1

    RepeatForever* HelloWorld::moving()
    {
        // 3. repeat the frame
        int numFrame = 8;

        cocos2d::Vector<cocos2d::SpriteFrame *> frames;
        SpriteFrameCache *frameCache = SpriteFrameCache::getInstance();

        char file[100] = {0};

        for (int i = 0; i < numFrame; i++)
        {
            sprintf(file, "bear%d.png", i+1);
            SpriteFrame *frame = frameCache->getSpriteFrameByName(file);
            frames.pushBack(frame);
        }

        Animation *animation = Animation::createWithSpriteFrames(frames, 0.07);
        Animate *animate = Animate::create(animation);

        RepeatForever *repeat = RepeatForever::create(animate);

        return repeat;
    }
    sprite->runAction(moving());

First add PNG file created from SpriteBulder(In many images Animation)
second add plist file

Answer 2

It seems that I was adding the frames to the array and not the names use the createWithSpriteFrames method of CCAnimation resolves the issue.

Ex.

CCAnimation::createWithSpriteFrames(frames,.15)

might be useful for someone!

Answer 3

Enjoy the class i have write in C++ for cocos2d-x, it can create CCAnimate object by a plist.

to create CCAnimate with the helper class below is simple:

if you have a sequence of frames named node0 node1 .... node4, you can create the CCAnimate object use the follow code above:

CCAnimateManager::animateWithFrame("node", 5, 0.17,"node");
CCAnimate * anima = CCAnimateManager::getAnimate("node");

this is the header file.

#include <iostream>
#include "cocos2d.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace cocos2d;

class CCAnimateManager:public CCAnimation
{
public:
    static CCAnimate * getAnimate(string name);
    static void animateWithFile(string name, int frameCount, float delay, string animateName, const char * format = "%s%04d.png");
    static void animateWithFrame(string frame,int frameCount, float delay, string animateName,const char * format = "%s%04d.png");
};

and here is the cpp file:

#include "CCAnimateManager.h"
#include "cocos2d.h"

using namespace cocos2d;

CCAnimate * CCAnimateManager::getAnimate(string name)
{
    return CCAnimate::create(CCAnimationCache::sharedAnimationCache()->animationByName(name.c_str()));
}

void CCAnimateManager::animateWithFrame(string frame, int frameCount, float delay, string animateName, const char * format)
{
    CCAnimation* animation = CCAnimation::create();
    animation->setDelayPerUnit(delay);
    char str[64] = {0};
    for (int i = 0; i < frameCount; i++)
    {
        sprintf(str, format,frame.c_str(), i);
        CCSpriteFrameCache* cache = CCSpriteFrameCache::sharedSpriteFrameCache();
        CCSpriteFrame* frame = cache->spriteFrameByName(str);
        animation->addSpriteFrame(frame);
    }
    CCAnimationCache::sharedAnimationCache()->addAnimation(animation, animateName.c_str());
}

void CCAnimateManager::animateWithFile(string name, int frameCount, float delay, string animateName, const char * format)
{
    CCAnimation* animation = CCAnimation::create();
    animation->setDelayPerUnit(delay);
    char str[64] = {0};
    for (int i = 0; i < frameCount; i++)
    {
        sprintf(str, format,name.c_str(), i);
        CCTexture2D * texture = CCTextureCache::sharedTextureCache()->addImage(str);
        CCSize size = texture->getContentSize();
        CCRect rect = CCRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height);
        CCSpriteFrame * frame = CCSpriteFrame::createWithTexture(texture, rect);
        animation->addSpriteFrame(frame);
    }
    CCAnimationCache::sharedAnimationCache()->addAnimation(animation, animateName.c_str());
}
