Because Drake Wilson asked for a work around for a non existent feature I
decided just to simply write it in. You can now trigger a function at the
end of a movie. Its now in CVS download via:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pyzzle.sourceforge.net/download.html#cvs">http://pyzzle.sourceforge.net/download.html#cvs</a> or just update your CVS repository.<br>
<br>
Use it via the function call: <br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <font color="#ff0000">movie.play_trigger(<i>ArrayPos</i>, <i>myMovietriggerFn</i>,
<i>useCursor</i>)</font> -&gt; None&nbsp; <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; where: <i>ArrayPos</i> is the movies position in the array <i>Node</i>.moviefile.<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <i>myMovietriggerFn</i> is a Pointer to the function
you wish to call at the end of the movie<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <i>useCursor</i> = 0, 1 Give player cursor control while
movie is playing. Only use this when neccessary. It defults to 0.<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
A few notes:<br>
- I was having trouble with logical node changes with the new trigger function
so I have written a new node change function:<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <font color="#ff0000">pyzzle.change_node(<i>Node</i>)</font> -&gt; None<br>
<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; Use this function now when ever a logic node change is required. You
now cannot hardwire the new node in via nodedata.nextslide = <i>Node</i>.
Well you can but things might get interesting.<br>
<br>
- Currently the trigger function it only exists for non-looping movie. <br>
<br>
- Remember only one mpeg can be played at one time in pyzzle. So do not try
to use the trigger function to play two or more movies simultaneously. <br>
<br>
- Because at the moment I do not have any good way to demonstrate it ive
commented out its call in the demogame.py file. <br>
To see it in action change line 157 in demogame.py: <br>
from &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; movie.play(0,1,1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  <br>
to&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; movie.play_trigger(0,myMovietrigger,1)&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (The commented out function behind the 1st function)<br>
<br>
then run demogame.py. I hope you like it (;<br>
<br>
- Its fresh in CVS so please report any bugs.<br>
<br>
In game objects bugs squashed BTW.<br>
<br>
Have fun. Anymore feature requests please fire them off. Im very happy to
consider them.<br>
