ATL Rotation within Live Composite (Animated Car) [solved]

[ketskari]

So I have some wheels:

Code: Select all

    image wheelcw:
        "car/wheel.png"
        linear 3.0 rotate 360
        repeat

    image wheelcw2:
        "car/wheel2.png"
        linear 3.0 rotate 360
        repeat

And a Live Composite of a car:

Code: Select all

    image car for = LiveComposite(
            (797, 492),
            (0,0), "car/base.png",
            (565, 265), "wheelcw",
            (-35, 265), "wheelcw2",
            )

The wheels animate, but only once. As in... once in the whole game. Even if I go back to the main menu and start again, the wheels will just stay still as the car slides across the screen.

Is there a way to fix this? Or a better way to do this?

Thanks very much in advance. :)

Are your wheels defined after the car? Not sure if this makes a difference, but that's how I've seen LiveComposite examples done before. You would basically do the first code you showed below the second one.

Moved the code around, but it made no difference, unfortunately.

Hmm... can you give me the images you're using so I can fiddle with this myself and see if I can get it to work?

Here are the car graphics and the .rpy file with what I have currently.

Thanks. :)

Got it. Change the wheel code to this:

Code: Select all

    image wheelcw:
        "car/wheel.png"
        rotate_pad True
        rotate 0
        linear 3.0 rotate 360
        repeat

What's happening is that when it's time for the second runthrough of the ATL, the wheel's rotation is already at 360, so it doesn't need to rotate any more.

Well that's an embarrassingly simple solution.
Thank you!
