How to make one-time animation?

Question

I just wonder, how to make one time animation. I have a lot of animations, but they, unfortunately, are repeating in the loop, and that's not what I wanted. Here's some code fragments:

public void act(float delta) {
    super.act(delta);
    stateTime += Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime();
    TextureRegion currentFrame = activeAnimation.getKeyFrame(stateTime, true);
    setDrawable(new TextureRegionDrawable(currentFrame));
}

RUNNING_ANIMATION_BY_SIDE = new Animation<TextureRegion>(0.333f,framesRunningBySide,Animation.PlayMode.LOOP);
SHOOTING_ANIMATION = new Animation<TextureRegion>(0.333f, framesShootingFront, Animation.PlayMode.NORMAL);
STEADY_ANIMATION = new Animation<TextureRegion>(0.230f, framesStandingFront, Animation.PlayMode.LOOP_RANDOM);
DYING_ANIMATION = new Animation<TextureRegion>(0.230f, framesDyingFront,Animation.PlayMode.NORMAL);

setActiveAnimation(STEADY_ANIMATION);

How to make my actor to play animation only one-time? As you see, I've set to DYING_ANIMATION a PlayMode.NORMAL.

Answer 1

You're using overloaded method getKeyFrame(float stateTime, boolean looping) of Animation class.

If you pass looping true as second parameter, your animation playmode will convert from PlayMode.NORMAL to PlayMode.LOOP

so use getKeyFrame(float stateTime) or pass false as second parameter but for STEADY_ANIMATION playmode will converted from PlayMode.LOOP_RANDOM to PlayMode.LOOP.
