Def Timeline

Easy way to make animation play in sequence to Defold Engine

Installation

You can use Timeline in your own project by adding this project as a Defold library dependency. Open your game.project file and in the dependencies field under project add:

https://github.com/AllanDouglas/deftimeline/archive/master.zip

Once added you may require either (or both) of the two main lua

local timeline = require("timine.def_timeline")

Add Animation

timeline.add(url, property, playback, to, easing, duration, delay, on_completed, label)

local timeline = require("timeline.def_timeline")
local t = timeline.new()
t.add(".", "position.x", nil, 150, nil, 2)
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 150, nil, 2)
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 0, nil, 2)

t.play()

You can use labels to play animations together

local timeline = require("timeline.def_timeline")

local t = timeline.new()
t.add(".", "position.x", nil, 150, nil, 2, nil,'label_1')
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 150, nil, 2, nil, 'label_1')
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 0, nil, nil, 2)	
t.play()

Add animation from payloads

you can use a table with then arguments names to add a animation

t.add_from_payload({
	property = "rotation",
	to = vmath.quat_rotation_z(3.141592 / 4),
	label = "label_1",
	url = ".",
	duration = 1
})

Callbacks

On Complete the timeline

local timeline = require("timeline.def_timeline")

local t = timeline.new()
t.add(".", "position.x", nil, 150, nil, 2, nil,'label_1')
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 150, nil, 2, nil, 'label_1')
t.add(".", "position.y", nil, 0, nil, 2)
t.on_completed(
	function()
		print('the end')
	end
)
t.play()

On Complete the label

t.add_end_label("test", function()
pprint("the test label over")
end)
