Title: Paused game
Post by: Alessaint on July 01, 2012, 08:04:45 AM

Hi,

does UIButtonPlayAnimation play an animation regardless of Time.timeScale value? I found this

1.50
NEW: The UI is now timeScale-independent, letting you pause the game via Time.timeScale = 0.

yet when I pause the game (Time.timeScale = 0) the animation doesn't play (otherwise it does). Should this work? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot

A.

I think there's a public bool you set in the inspector for the animation.

UIButtonPlayAnimation activates an animation via ActiveAnimation class, which samples it framerate-independent. Animation.Play() is not.

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately I'm not sure I fully understand though :)

Do you mean that UIButtonPlayAnimation doesn't rely on Animation.Play() and so it can play an animation even when the game is paused? Because I'm using UIDButtonPlayAnimation and yet I can't get it to work for some reason...

In another words -if I add UIButtonPlayAnimation to a button, fill in animation name and after pressing the button pause the game, the animation should still play?

Thanks

@Nicki: thanks for a hint - unfortunately I couldn't find anything like that in the animation's inspector settings

That's correct, UIButtonPlayAnimation does not rely on Animation.Play(). Did you set the target animation? It won't work without it.

Sorry for the bump, but there's anyway to play anims with timescale=0?
I couldn't find any option for that in the last version.

ActiveAnimation.Play is always timescale-independent, which is what UIPlayAnimation uses.
