Animation WrapMode Once - Issue HELP!

Hi,

I am having an issue with a button and a linked animation.

What I want to achieve is:
when the button is held down the animation goes forwards, when released it reverses from where it is.

This works.. However..
If you hold the button and the animation reached the last frame it goes back to frame 1.

I do not want this. I need it to hold on the last frame and goes in reverse from there when the button is released.
so if there are 180 frames, holds on frame 180 when it get there.

ClampForever will not work because the longer you hold at the end the longer it takes to reverse.

PLEASE HELP!!

My current code is below

 

Code (csharp):

1. if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
2.  {
3.  theMainCharacter.animation["Anim1"].speed = 1;
4.  theMainCharacter.animation.Play("Anim1");
5.  }
6.  else {
7.  theMainCharacter.animation["Anim1"].normalizedTime = Mathf.Clamp01 (  theMainCharacter.animation["Anim1"].normalizedTime );
8.  theMainCharacter.animation["Anim1"].speed = -1;
9.  theMainCharacter.animation.Play("Anim1");
10.  }

Try that perhaps?

 

Hi,
Thank you for your input but this does not work. This just stops all animations.

It appears you placed the code on the reverse animation, there no issue on the reverse animation.

The forwards animation is the issue. When the forwards animation reaches the last frame it goes back to fram 1, how to stop this??

 

Switch to clamp forever? Then though I don't think the animation ever stops playing.

 

No, As I said I dont want that to happen.

The trouble with ClampForever is that it repeats the last frame. So if the button is held till the end of the animation then the last frame loops until the button is lifted. So if it loops the last frame 30 times, when the button is let go it also reverse through 30 still frames until the animation actualy starts to reverse.

Anyone got the genuis to solve this one?

 

Ok, So I googled, I tested, I googled, I tested, I read forums, I read manuals, 24 hours later if found a fix of sorts.
The below code is what I have used, just incase anyone else has this issue.
You must set the animation to ClampForever, but with some addtional code added.
I am pleased that is over!

 

Dude.. I googled and looked up fixes for my issue for AGES.. you are a genius.
I have to say this. Sorry to revive this post but you are a GENIUS!!!
