I have animated my record player with a small bit of animated gif. Pretty proud of myself. But is it possible to have a switch on the turntable that would stop/start the animation. That would be real cool.
:-)

I have no time to test it but try if this script works:
Quote:
function playercontrolcore1OnUpdate(Sender)
{
if(playercontrolcore1.get("%IsPlaying")=="true")
{
disc.Play=1
}
else
{
disc.Play=0
}
}


This script is a copy from other widget, so you will need to match it with yours. The "disc" should be replaced with the name of your gif file. And don't forget to assign the tag to playercontrolcore1-OnUpdate.

went into editor hit widget and added this code
function playercontrolcore1OnUpdate(Sender)
{
if(playercontrolcore1.get("%IsPlaying")=="true")
{
gif1.Play=1
}
else
{
gif1.Play=0
}
}

But doesn't stop unfortunately.
Did I place it in the right spot. There was no other code there.
It did highlight the right gif, so that looked correct

Hi,
I think you have to do this:
1. bind the .gif-image to the playercontrolcore
2. "activate" the playercontrolecore (to use script) by double clicking into the white editing box
3. change this line of script from:
if(playercontrolcore1.get("%IsPlaying")=="true") to:
if(playercontrolcore1.isplaying)

For me it works well now.

Many thank Dagedee!!!
Works perfectly!!
What can't Xwidget do?
:-)
:-)
Ripper, thanks all for the help and time.

If anyone wants to finish this widget properly and post for others, please do.
Maybe credit me for the idea only?
Also I stole the image from the internet so not sure how that goes for copyright.
:-(

Nice BUT be careful at the CPU usage of the animated widgets.. To check it, after press "Debug" to test the widget, open the pc task manager and check the "xwtest.exe" and "XWDesigner.exe" to see the cpu %.
Good widgets must give 0~2% cpu...

Cool!!
You could always PNGAnimate for high quality animations (look out for size!!)

It works ok on cpu with everything running but there is a little load.
I would not know how to make a png animate. This was all made from ani gifs I found and it the platters case just cropped it to suit.
