How To Stop Drawing A Spritebatch Animation In Libgdx?

Hi I have a spritebatch animation in Libgdx. It only plays once and when it is finished I want to stop drawing it so it doesn't appear on the screen. I have a boolean that checks

Solution 1:

The problem I see is that you always declare a new boolean variable "alive" and set the alive to true at the beginning:

booleanalive=true;

and then all your drawing is happening and after all that you set alive to false if your animation is finished:

if(walkAnimation.isAnimationFinished(stateTime))
    alive = false;

==> That is too late, because after this you don't do anything anymore with this local variable.

---

You could for example check if "alive" should be true or false right at the beginning and set its value accordingly, like for example:

booleanalive=true;
 if(walkAnimation.isAnimationFinished(stateTime)) {
    alive = false;
 }
 //your drawing code below..

alternatively you could make "alive" a field instead of a local variable.
