I need to do some calculations between every update(), so I need to ensure that a function is processed before the next frame.
Is there any way to achieve this? Just like "WaitForEndOfFrame" in Unity?
You can override the updateTree in your FlameGame (or in your Component, if you only want it to happen before the updates of a subtree) and do your calculations right before all the other components start updating. This would be right after the last frame, except for the first frame, but that one you can skip by setting a boolean.
So something like this:
class MyGame extends FlameGame {
bool isFirstTick = true;
#override
void updateTree(double dt) {
if(!isFirstTick) {
// Do your calculations
} else {
isFirstTick = false;
}
super.updateTree(dt);
}
}
But I have to ask, why do you need to do this? render won't be called until all the update calls are done, do can't you just put your calculations in the normal update method?
In Flutter we don't get an update() function unlike Unity. That is in the default API that we use, there are ways to tap into something of that effect. Normally we use a Ticker and create an animation to get periodic updates synced with screen refresh rate.
However, if what you are trying to do is to run something in between build() calls, WidgetsBinding.instance!.addPostFrameCallback() may be what you are looking for.

I have monster named Fungant in my 2D platform game.
It can hide as mushroom and rise to his normal form.
I try to handle it in code, but I don't know how to get information about finished animation (without it, animation of rising and hiding always was skipped).
I think the point there is to get info about complete of the one of two animations - Rise and Hide.
There is current code:
if (
fungantAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("Fungant Rise")
)
{
fungantAnimator.SetBool("isRising", false);
isRisen = true;
fungantRigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(
walkSpeed * Mathf.Sign(
player.transform.position.x - transform.position.x),
fungantRigidbody.velocity.y
);
}
if (fungantAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("Fungant Hide"))
{
fungantAnimator.SetBool("isHiding", false);
isRisen = false;
}
I try this two ways:
StateMachineBehaviour
I would like to get StateMachineBehaviour, but how to get it?
No idea how to process this further.
AnimationEvents
Tried to do with animation event but every tutorial have list of functions to choose (looks easy), but in my Unity I can write Function, Float, Int, String or select object (what I should do?).
I decided to write test() function with Debug only inside, and create AnimationEvents with written "test()" in function field, but nothing happens.
Same as above, no more ideas how to process this further.
I personally would use animation events for this. Just add an event to the animation and then the event plays a function after the animation transition is finished.
For more information on how to use animation events you can click here.
This post may also help you to add an event when the animation is finished.
I hope this answer helps you to solve this problem.
I have a call to my Firebase database that retrieves data from a player, and then it sends this data to an object. (In this object there is a list containing the weapons).
Except that in another file, I call the function to retrieve the weapons in the list. This one is empty when the game starts, because the then is not passed yet.
I solved the problem by setting an isReady variable to true when the then is passed, and I put in a void Update() the call of the function on the list.
I don't think this is the right solution, and there must be a better one, do you have an idea ? I start on unity
Here is the code :
This method will search in the list.
public void DisplayIfOwned()
{
if (GameObject.Find("PlayerManager").GetComponent<GetDataSoldier>().soldier.weaponsList.Contains(id)) weapon.SetActive(true);
else weapon.SetActive(false);
}
This method calls api to retrieve the player.
public void FillSoldierData()
{
RestClient.Get<Soldier>("https://minisoldiers-fdd66.firebaseio.com/Soldiers/" + SoldierCreation.soldierName + ".json")
.Then(response =>
{
soldier = response;
UpdateSoldier();
isReady = true;
});
}
You really should provide more clear information, I needed to make assumptions of how exactly you did things. Don't hesitate to add more code snippets, it's very helpful :)
If my assumptions are correct though, then why not just call DisplayIfOwned method directly inside Then(...? You said you're doing that in Update, so you surely have class level reference that has access to that method.
If it's done in some other way, then this might be what you want: Action
I have a Canvas (World Space Render mode) with a Text and a Button component displayed in a tridimensional space (it's a VR app). The canvas instantiated at runtime using a prefab.
I get a reference to the Text object using:
_codeTextLabel = canvasPrefab.transform.Find("CodeTextLabel").gameObject.GetComponent<Text>();
I want to update the text at run-time using:
void Update()
{
_codeTextLabel.text = _codeText;
}
where _codeText is just a variable I update based on specific events.
The problem is that the Text gets updated only the first time, but if I try to change the variable nothing happens. I have tried several combinations and also the method _codeTextLabel.SetAllDirty() but it doesn't work.
The only way to update the text is to re-instantiate the prefab.
Are you instantiating your prefab before setting the values. If you are storing the _codeTextLabel reference before instantiating then your reference will point to the prefab not the runtime object. I can't see the rest of your code, so I can't say for sure. (I would have asked as a comment, but as I'm new I don't have the reputation to do so)
edit: I did a test to try and recreate your problem. I made the following script and it appears to work as expected. CanvasPrefab is a worldspace canvas with a UnityEngine.UI.Text component attached. (The script is attached on an empty game object in the scene btw)
public class ChangeText : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject CanvasPrefab;
private GameObject runtimeCanvas;
public string runtimeText = "something";
private Text textRef;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
runtimeCanvas = GameObject.Instantiate(CanvasPrefab);
textRef = runtimeCanvas.GetComponentInChildren<Text>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
textRef.text = runtimeText;
}
}
as long as you did something wrong, It works absolutely so I guess there are several cases
Failed to do "_codeTextLabel = canvasPrefab.transform.Find("CodeTextLabel").gameObject.GetComponent();"
'_codeTextLabel' lost reference from 'GameObject.
Doesn't change runtimeText' change at all
Subscription of events failed I mean, your updating scripts doesn't get proper event to update that text.
Without codes, this is only thing I can guess for yours so please check above I hope there is case among above.
I'm not yet as much into Java as I'd like to be, so I find my current task to be quite a bit challenging:
A chart showing data gathered in another class.
A slider whose end value is determined by the last entry of in the dataset used in the chart.
The playbutton currently doesn't do anything except letting the slider tick in steps of 5 until it is paused again.
My problem right now is: I am supposed to highlight one item at a time in the chart based on which value the slider currently shows.
And to be honest... I'm not yet used to renderers yet.
If I understood it correctly I would need to use
renderer.drawItem(java.awt.Graphics2D g2,
XYItemRendererState state,
java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D dataArea,
PlotRenderingInfo info,
XYPlot plot,
ValueAxis domainAxis,
ValueAxis rangeAxis,
XYDataset dataset,
int series,
int item,
CrosshairState crosshairState,
int pass)
but I am totally inexperienced with as well the method as its arguments and got no idea how to initialize them.
I mean... I got a plot, a dataset, and 2 series from the chart, I also suggest "item" would be the index of the item to highlight in the series, which I could convert from the slider-value.
Unfortunately plaguing google about it turned out to be rather frustrating since all I got was the very code I posted above on about 50 different pages (I gave up after).
I would like to know ... first of all if I am even about to use the correct method and, as ashamed as I am to ask like this... how to use it.
Well... looking forward to some answers and... thanks in advance.
Well, I now solved my problem in a different way than I intended to but it works out just fine for me.
Instead of highlighting a point in the curves I just simply add a Domainmarker that would adjust based on the value the slider currently shows.
class1 TestSlider
private HashSet<SliderListener> sliderListenerSet = new HashSet<SliderListener>();
public void addSliderListener(SliderListener Listener){
sliderListenerSet.add(Listener);
}
slider.addChangeListener(this);
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
JSlider source = (JSlider)e.getSource();
if (!source.getValueIsAdjusting()) {
fireSliderChanged();
}
}
public void fireSliderChanged(){
for (SliderListener currentListener : sliderListenerSet)
currentListener.sliderValueChanged();
}
class2 SliderListener
public interface SliderListener extends EventListener{
public void SliderValueChanged();
}
class3 Chart
Marker marker = new ValueMarker(0);
plot.addDomainMarker(marker); //so that it would be there at the beginning
TestSlider ts = new TestSlider();
ts.addSliderListener(new SliderListener(){
#Override
public void sliderValueChanged() {
plot.removeDomainMarker(marker); //I only want one of them at a time - the one with the value the slider is currently showing so remove the old one...
marker = new ValueMarker(ts.slider.getValue());
plot.addDomainMarker(marker); // ... and add the one with the new value
}
});
}
I tried to keep it as short and universal as I could and I hope I didnt cut out anything important.
Well, I'm still new to this site, so... in case I did a mistake somewhere feel free to tell me.
In my application I need to wait until external program (using QProcess) is finished. I want to keep the application responsible so blocking methods are unacceptable.
Also I need to disallow user input. I've tried to make QEventLoop and exec it with QEventLoop::ExcludeUserInputEvents flag, but as documentation says it only delays an event handling:
the events are not discarded; they will be delivered the next time processEvents() is called without the ExcludeUserInputEvents flag.
So I implemented simple event filter and install it on qApp (the idea is took from Qt Application: Simulating modal behaviour (enable/disable user input)). It works well, but sometimes QApplication::processEvents function never returns even if I specify the maximum timeout. Could anyone help me to understand for what reasons it periodically happens?
class UserInputEater : public QObject
{
public:
bool eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event)
{
switch(event->type())
{
case QEvent::UpdateRequest:
case QEvent::UpdateLater:
case QEvent::Paint:
return QObject::eventFilter(object, event);
default:
return true;
}
}
};
-
UserInputEater eventEater;
qApp->installEventFilter(&eventEater);
QProcess prc;
prc.start("...");
while(!prc.waitForFinished(10))
{
if(qApp->hasPendingEvents())
{
// Sometimes it never returns from processEvents
qApp->processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents, 100);
}
}
qApp->removeEventFilter(&eventEater);
UPD: Seems like it depends of the timeout value for QProcess::waitForFinished.
I guess you are filtering some useful events (for example, QEvent::SockAct could be involved). Try to add some debug output and find out which event types you're actually filtering. Or it might be better to specify the black list of events you want to block instead of white list of events you want to allow. See this answer.
Also you shouldn't use return QObject::eventFilter(object, event);. You should use return false. All other event filters will be called automatically.
This solution however seems weird and unreasonable to me because you can just call setEnabled(false) for your top level widget to block user input, and then you can use QApplication::processEvents without any flags.
