Mov as texture!

Ok this is not working, have you changed something in Unity 1.1 or what?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //-- Using .mov files as textures on obj:
3.  
4. var framesPerSecond = 15;
5.  
6. function Update () {
7.  
8.    //-- Calculate the frame to use by repeating time when it exceeds playLength
9.    
10.    var FrameCount = Texture.frameCount;
11.    var playLength = FrameCount / framesPerSecond;
12.    var timeMe = Mathf.Repeat (Time.time, playLength) / playLength;
13.    var frame : int = timeMe * FrameCount;
14.    
15.    frame = Mathf.Clamp (frame, 0, Texture.frameCount -1);
16.    Texture.frame = frame;
17.    
18.         if (frame == FrameCount) {
19.         //do something!
20.         }
21. }
22.  

 

I get this error:

1.frameCount is not a menber of Unity Texture!

2.frame is not a member of Unity Texture!

 

Ah, the "var texture : FileTexture;" wasn't there when I last checked.. Working nicely now though

 

Ok, now why doesn't this work as expected?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //-- Using .mov files as textures on obj:
3.  
4. var texture : FileTexture;
5.  
6. var framesPerSecond = 15.0;
7.  
8.  
9. private var stopMovie = true;
10.  
11.  
12. function Update () {
13.  
14.  
15. startMovie ();
16.  
17.  
18.  
19.     if (stopMovie == false) {
20.  
21.     frameCount = texture.frameCount;
22.  
23.  
24.  
25.     playLength = frameCount / framesPerSecond;
26.  
27.  
28.  
29.     time = Mathf.Repeat (Time.time, playLength) / playLength;
30.  
31.  
32.  
33.     var frame : int = time * frameCount;
34.  
35.     frame = Mathf.Clamp (frame, 0, texture.frameCount -1);
36.  
37.  
38.  
39.     texture.frame = frame;
40.     }
41.    
42.         if (frame > 39) {
43.         //do something!
44.        
45.         stopMovie = true;
46.         finishMe ();
47.         }
48. }
49. function startMovie () {
50. yield WaitForSeconds (1.2);
51. stopMovie = false;
52. }
53.  
54. function finishMe () {
55.  
56. yield WaitForSeconds (3.4);
57. Application.LoadLevel("Menu");
58.  
59. }
60.  

 

Is coroutines the same as functions in Unity? How is regular functions called?

 

A coroutine is a function that has a yield statement somewhere in it.

Update and FixedUpdate can not be coroutines.

 

It doesn't seem that I can call coroutine inside Update.. Is there no equalent to a function in Unity? (I just need to call a function inside Update, thats all!).

 

Of course Unity has functions.

But the function you are calling contains a yield. That's the problem. You can not call coroutines directly only normal functions that do not contain a yield.

 

Hmmm... could this be what you are trying to do?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //-- Using .mov files as textures on obj:
3.  
4. var texture : FileTexture;
5. var framesPerSecond = 15.0;
6. var stopAfterFrame = 39;
7. private var stopMovie = true;
8.  
9.  
10. yield WaitForSeconds (1.2);
11. stopMovie = false;
12.  
13. function Update () {
14.  
15.     if (stopMovie == false) {
16.    
17.         playLength = texture.frameCount / framesPerSecond;
18.    
19.         time = Mathf.Repeat (Time.time, playLength) / playLength;
20.         var frame : int = time * frameCount;
21.         frame = Mathf.Clamp (frame, 0, texture.frameCount -1);
22.         texture.frame = frame;
23.         if (frame > stopAfterFrame) {
24.             stopMovie = true;
25.             StartCoroutine("FinishMe");
26.        
27.         }
28.     }
29. }
30.  
31. function FinishMe () {
32.     yield WaitForSeconds (3.4);
33.     Application.LoadLevel("Menu");
34.  
35. }
36.  

 

ah! I'll just use a timeLeft variable then. Thanks for clearing up.

 

That was just the thing! I ended up using a timeleft var and subtracted from that by deltaTime, but your solution is much more elegant and just what I wanted to do!

Thanks a bunch!
