Switch animation when key pressed

beginners
#1

Hello, I am having trouble switching between two animations when key is pressed. I have two classes for each animation. Can anyone be kind enough to show me an example or explain how it should be coded.

Thanks!

hello,

say you have 2 animations :

anim1.draw();
anim2.draw();

you can chose the animation like so :

// ofApp.h
int animToPlay;

//ofApp::setup()
animToPlay = 0;

// ofApp::draw()
switch (animToPlay) {
    case 1 : anim1.draw(); break;
    case 2 : anim2.draw(); break;
    default : //whatever
}

// ofApp::keyPressed()
void ofApp::keyPressed(int key){
    if(key == 'a') {
       animToPlay = 1;
    }
    if(key == 'b') {
       animToPlay = 2;
    }
}

then use key ‘a’ or ‘b’ to change the animation

Like so you can use any key to trigger any animation. if you only have 2 animations, code could be simpler.
