I have rain already made into a SpriteSequence, but I am having trouble incorporating it into its actual use. I want the rain to play after the player gets a score of 15, 30, 45, 60, etc., and play for a certain amount of time. While it’s playing, I would also like it to effect the gravity.

Not sure if the support forums help people code, but I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

Hello Steve,

I’m not quite sure what you meant by “I would also like it to effect the gravity”, but here is a code snippet you might find helpful. Press the mouse to increase the score. When the score is 15,30,45,60 the animation will be played for 3 seconds and then stop. Make sure to set all *** fields corresponding your rain animation

import Felgo 3.0
import QtQuick 2.0

GameWindow {
  id: gameWindow
  property int score: 0
  
  Scene {
    id: scene
    width: 800
    height: 480
    
    SpriteSequenceVPlay {
      id: rainAnimation
      
      anchors.centerIn: parent
      defaultSource: "../assets/rain.png" // *** source file of your animation spritesheet
      
      visible: timer.running // when the time is over we hide the animation
      
      SpriteVPlay {
        name: "shooting"
        frameWidth: 256 // *** width of only one frame
        frameHeight: 256 // *** height of only one frame
        frameCount: 4 // *** number of frames in the animation
        frameRate: 10
      }
      
    }
    // 
    MouseArea{
      anchors.fill: parent
      onPressed: {
        score = score + 5 // increase the score on every click
        if(timer.running === false && score%15 == 0) // if the animation is not running and score is %15 == 0 (15,30,45...) 
          timer.running = true // start the animation
      }
    }
    
    // a test Text component to check the score
    Text{
      color: "orange"
      text: score
      font.pixelSize: 64
    }
    
    Timer {
      id: timer
      interval: 3000 // how long to play the animation
      running:false
      repeat:true
      onTriggered: {
        running = false // turn off the animation after the time is over
      }
    }
  }
}

Hi Steve,

here is another possible solution, without SpriteSequence, using the Qt particle system:

import Felgo 3.0
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Particles 2.0

GameWindow {
  id: gameWindow
  
  activeScene: scene
  
  width: 960
  height: 640
  
  Scene {
    id: scene
    
    width: 480
    height: 320
    
    Rectangle {
      anchors.fill: parent
      color: "black"
    }
    
    MouseArea {
      anchors.fill: parent
      onClicked: {
        rainTimer.start()
      }
    }
    
    Timer {
      id: rainTimer
      interval: 3000
    }
    
    ParticleSystem {
      id: particles
      running: true
    }
    ItemParticle {
      system: particles
      fade: false
      delegate: Rectangle {
        width: 2
        height: 10
        color: "white"
        opacity: 0.6
      }
    }
    
    Emitter {
      // enable the particles as long as the timer is running
      enabled: rainTimer.running
      system: particles
      emitRate: 60
      lifeSpan: 3000
      velocity: PointDirection { y:240; yVariation: 60; }
      size: 3
      sizeVariation: 4
      width: parent.width
      anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
      height: 1
      anchors.bottom: parent.top
    }
    
    PhysicsWorld {
      // if it's raining, the gravity is -20, else it's -10
      // this does not affect the particles, it's just to answer your question
      gravity.y: rainTimer.running ? -20 : -10
    }
  }
}

If you click on the screen, we start a timer that is running for 3 seconds. While the timer is running we spawn rain particles and change the gravity of the physicsworld. I used an ItemParticle for demonstration purposes, you would most likely swap this one for an ImageParticle with a rain drop particle image.

Cheers,
Alex
