textureAtlas animation gets triggered at start of application

Question

My problem is that textureAtlas animation runs on start of application. I only want it to be triggered when an inputListner gets the correct input, and not on start. Currently it gets triggered both times. What have missed? this is my code.

 //show method 
animationTime=0;

 atlas= new TextureAtlas("Atlas/animation.atlas");
 regions= new Array<TextureAtlas.AtlasRegion>(Atlas.getRegions());
 animation= new Animation(1f/31f,regions);

//input listener:
animationTime = 0;
animation.setPlayMode(Animation.PlayMode.NORMAL);

//render method:
animationTime+=delta;    
decal.setTextureRegion(animation.getKeyFrame(animationTime));

Answer 1

If you want your animation to be triggered by input you shouldn't call this line all the time :

animationTime+=delta;    

cause this line of code make your animation moved, is suggest this :

// render
if(animationTrigger) {
animationTime+=delta; 
}

// input listener
if(input) {
animationTrigger = true;
}

The animation will be triggered when the flag is on TRUE

If any trouble leave a comment
