ANIMATIONEVENT

ANIMATION_EVENT

An animation frame even has occurred frame events can be set by calling SetFrameEvent?(int _frame)

only one frame can be set to be thrown at a time. After the event is thrown you will have to reset the event frame by calling SetFrameEvent?, if you want another event to be thrown when that frame is displayed again. The frame event is cleared after the event is thrown

sdl event structure when an animation event is posted

event.type: SDL_USEREVENT event.user.code: ANIMATION_EVENT event.user.data1: pointer to the instance of the animation object that posted the event; event.user.data2 = Not used

to find out what frame caused the event call GetFrameEvent? or GetCurrentFrame?

example:
SDL_Event event;
int eventFrame=0
//poll for events using event
//if event is SDL_USEREVENT and code is ANIMATION_EVENT

eventFrame=((*Animation)event.user.data1).GetFrameEvent()
or
eventFrame = ((*Animation)event.user.data1).GetCurrentFrame()
