[LachlanBenson]

Description

Task: #200 Feature: #150

This task involves harmonising the various animations which will be created for each weapon, ensuring that the corresponding attack animation is played dependent on the weapon that is equipped.

Example (optional)

• Attack animation: If dagger level one is equipped, play the corresponding animation for dagger level one.

Dependencies

• [x] #178 - Animation for weapons needs to be created before it can be implemented into the game.

Milestones

List of steps that need to be completed for this task.

• [x] Create function/method that tests to see what weapon is currently equipped
• [x] Based on the weapon equipped, place a still image of the weapon on the player's hand
• [x] Based on the weapon that is equipped, play the associated attack animation for that weapon when SPACE is pressed
• [x] Only play attack animation if the player attack status is current
• [x] Dispose animation when weapon is unequipped
• [ ] Write visual test inspection guide

Completion Deadline: Sept. xx

Attack animation now plays based on the weapon that the player is holding in their hand

Still to do - make a still image appear of the weapon before pressing attack

[LachlanBenson]

Attack animation now plays when weapon is equipped. Figured this was acceptable rather than a still image - just means the player tests out the weapon when they equip it.

Would like assistance from someone with disposing of the weapon atlas upon "unequip" or "drop"

[LachlanBenson]

hey @PeterOu8 are you able to assist with the final coding-related item for this task?

• [x] Dispose animation when weapon is unequipped

[PeterOu8]

Sure thing!

[PeterOu8]

The animation will be correctly disposed of after unequipping now.

[LachlanBenson]

Currently, animation is played based on weapon, plus the associated buff effect. will need to see how this works with stationary animation.

[LachlanBenson]

The animation will be correctly disposed of after unequipping now.

thanks Peter!
