FlatRedBall engine Spriter integration. This is a Glue plugin designed to make it ridiculously simple to load and use animations created with the Spriter tool in a FlatRedBall game.

flatredball-spriter's Issues

Add a way to override tweened values for any object in the animation

The situation might arise where someone using a SpriterObject wants to manipulate a piece of the animation (e.g. to point an arm toward a target on screen). Since the animation just happily plays as directed, there is no way to do this.

A simple Dictionary<SpriterObject, KeyFrameValues> OverrideTweenValues property should suffice. These values make more sense being absolute, though, since the caller wants to think in terms of screen & world coordinates rather than relative to an arm's parent, for instance.

Add support for points in animations

Something doesn't work when changing pivots over keys

This seems to create extra timeline keys, but they aren't animating correctly.

Add support for multiple entities

Currently, spriter allows multiple entities to be added to a project, but this library only looks at the first entity by default.

The spriter plugin will have to tell Glue about the possible entities, and there should be a default (whole file) selection, which might end up just being the first entity still. Though, it might make more sense to only allow entity selection and not the entire file, and just have the first entity be the default selection in Glue.

Add a template file to enable creating new spriter files directly from glue

Add a visible property to SpriterObject and SpriterObjectCollection

Add support for the different types of interpolation available in spriter

From what I can see, Spriter supports:

Instant (no interpolation)
Custom bezier curves
1d speed curve, with quadratic, cubic, quartic, or quintic control points

I need to research these more to find out exactly how to implement them, but they need to be supported.

Add support for character maps

Objects not cleaning up when changing screens

Tester Project: http://1drv.ms/1fMZpXL
When you launch the game and click the button it moves from one screen to another. During the cleanup process the Spriter Objects don't clean up and stay in the SpriteManager Lists. You can remove one of the instances and replace them with Boom(old entity), Coconut(old entity), or testEntity(new entity).

Add support for sound effect triggers

SpriterObject.RenderCollisionBoxes is not causing the Polygons to be Visible.

Add collision object support

With Spriter pro, collision objects can be added and tweened like sprites on screen, so they need to be supported.

Spriter objects cannot be put on Layers

The code for adding to managers simply adds Sprites/Shapes to the managers without looking at the current Layer for the object. I sent an email with the exact code.
