Previewer
I've been working on this feature for a while, and it's been out for a while, but never got to talk about it, and why it's brilliant.
The FlowEnt Previewer helps you visualise animations(scripted or build in the editor) right in the scene, without hitting play! This is great when you want to build an animation and want to see step by step the process, or when you want to debug it and see it frame by frame.
In order to open it you can go to the FlowEnt menu and open the window from there.
After that, you will see the window...and if you have any animations attached to the selected GameObject you'll see something like this
Now you can see a variety of colours there and we'll get that to that in a sec. What the previewer does is, it scans all the scripts attached to the currently selected GameObject and it displays any FlowEnt animation it finds. It scans for the following
- Builder Serialised Fields
- Fields
- Properties
- Parameterless Method
And this is what the colours mean...
Once you've identified the animation you'd like to preview, you have the simple buttons that manipulate the animation and you can playback so you can see how it looks!
Focused Mode
You can also use the button attached to any animation which will open the Previewer window with the animation focused so you don't have to always find the one you are looking for. This could be very useful in the case of previewing an animation inside a Flow!
