Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — combining user control and animation

And, as always, we will use the previous code as a starting point:

1. Firstly, we need two new variables in the FrameListener for controlling the movement speed and saving our rotation:

   float _WalkingSpeed;
   float _rotation;
   

2. In the constructor, we init the new values; we want to move at 50 units per second and start with no rotation:

   _WalkingSpeed = 50.0f;
   _rotation = 0.0f;
   

3. Then we need to change our animation states to prevent them from looping. This time, we are going to control when a new animation has to start and not Ogre 3D:

   _aniState = _ent->getAnimationState("RunBase");
   _aniState->setLoop(false);
   _aniStateTop = _ent->getAnimationState("RunTop");
   _aniStateTop->setLoop(false);
   

4. In the frameStarted() ...
