Question

I have 5 sprite frames and i made them into an animation with a delay of 0.05 seconds between each frame. I then used CCAnimate to turn it into an action then ran it on a sprite.

CCAnimation *animation = [CCAnimation animationWithFrames:animationArray delay:0.05];
CCAnimate *animate = [CCAnimate actionWithDuration:10.0 animation:animation restoreOriginalFrame:YES];
[sprite runAction:animate];

The issue is that the frames have a delay of 2 seconds rather than 0.05. Is it possible to loop the animation with a frame ever 0.05 seconds for a duration of 10 seconds?

Answer 1

I would suggest the following:

1. make sure that the first argument to CCAnimate actionWithDuration matches the product of your delay` by the number of frames you have;

2. use CCRepeat to repeat in a loop your basic animation:

   CCRepeat* repeat = [CCRepeat actionWithAction:animate times:5];
   [sprite runAction:repeat];
