    TNT Animator pause...

    Hi,

    When I add this to my spawner class, I get a slight pause each time it's run...
    local animLoader = CTNTAnimatorLoader.new()
animLoader:loadAnimations("Animations/atlas-2-animation.tan", atlas, true)
local anim = CTNTAnimator.new(animLoader)
anim:setAnimation("CAVEMAN_FALLING")
anim:addToParent(anim)
self:addChild(anim)
self.myAnimation = anim;
anim:playAnimation()
    How would I alter the code so that it wasn't loading the whole atlas each time?

    It works if I make aninLoader a global, but trying to avoid that.

    Thanks

    Tom

      Hi! tom!

      i really need to see your class to try to help you, anyway

      you should avoid to call
      local animLoader = CTNTAnimatorLoader.new()
animLoader:loadAnimations("Animations/atlas-2-animation.tan", atlas, true)
local anim = CTNTAnimator.new(animLoader)
      when you spawn a new object...

      generally i load my anim gfx not inside critical loops of my game and free it
      in the same manner.

      :)

      Hi Greg :-)

      I found that if I put this part on a scene:
      -- Setup animation loaders for atlases
      animLoader = CTNTAnimatorLoader.new()
animLoader:loadAnimations("Animations/atlas-2-animation.tan", Atlas2, true)
      And this bit on the class that does the spawing:
      local anim = CTNTAnimator.new(animLoader)
anim:setAnimation("CAVEMAN_FALLING")
anim:addToParent(anim)
self:addChild(anim)
self.myAnimation = anim;
anim:playAnimation()
      Things work great.

      And another HUGE thank you for both TNT Animator and your particle engine. I use them both a great deal.
