How to get painting animation to play once, then disappear?

Andyclimax81 16/01/2019 19:15

I've animated a spark for my cigarette lighter, so that when you trigger the flint, a spark comes out. The problem is that it is either on a constant loop, or is frozen on a frame.

I've tried turning off loop in the painting's animation tab, and I've tried turning on "play once" in the Frame-by-Frame tab (and every combination of both).

What am I doing wrong?

  How is it triggered? I'd add a keyframe to the timeline which makes it visible when triggered I think. Then it won't be frozen on a frame while 'waiting'

  I think you could try to emit once and animate in sequence

  I had this - i ended up emitting the painting and then killing it after 0.5s (or whatever time your animation needs) by setting its emit duration

  Thanks, everyone.
  
  I forgot to mention the way I have it set up.
  
  I have a trigger zone on the flint (which is triggered by the imp), that is connected to the keyframe. The painting is set to invisible, then I make it visible when I record the keyframe. I've done this for the flame (which is a sculpture) and it works fine.
  
  I'll give the emitting thing a go, but my animation is only three frames long, and I also don't want it to shoot up like a firework
  
  I eventually want to make it so that you have to grab and spin the flint to start the animation, but that's a problem for another time. :)

  emitters just emit stuff. you don't have to fire them anywhere - you can set the velocity to 0. I think mine are all about 50:50 firing out or just standing still
