Oops, my mistake this time, I assume it goes to the room because the comparison is true so only one output. So.. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to determine why video_get_duration() returns 0 instead of the length of the video (unless it's a trivial case of calling it before you have loaded a video..)
I have in fact sent two emails to you so far, responding to your questions. You might want to check your inbox and possibly spam folder for the 18th of this month.
And the second email was with regards to the functions, with which @rIKmAN pointed out, are described in full in the example object (obj_video).
video_get_duration() returns the length of the video. It will return 0 if the file could not be found though. If it is returning 0, I'd make sure that that path and filenames are correct. (Note: it may take two or three step events for this to become non-zero as this is dependent on the initial retrieval from your HDD).
if (time_diff > video_get_duration())
{
room_goto(FirstLevel);
}if (time_diff > video_get_duration())
{
room_goto(FirstLevel);
}1. You don't show how you calculate time_diff
// Progress to first level after video has finished playing
if(video_get_current_time() > video_get_duration())
{
room_goto(FirstLevel)
}//if (time_diff > video_get_duration())
if(video_get_current_time() > video_get_duration() && video_get_duration >= 0)
{
room_goto(FirstLevel)
}
&& video_get_duration >= 0if(0 > 0 && 0 >= 0)Can you add this to a Draw_GUI event and tell me what is says?
draw_text(20, 20, room_speed);The demo runs at 9999 just to show off the performance and even says that in the code.
// Unlock room speed and disable application surface.
// This is optional and purely for optimisation/benchmark purposes.
room_speed = 9999;
application_surface_enable(false);/// Create Event
video_init(window_device());
video_load("your_video_filename.xxx");/// Draw Event
if(video_get_current_time() > video_get_duration())
room_goto(FirstLevel);
video_draw();/// @description Initialisation
// Unlock room speed and disable application surface.
// This is optional and purely for optimisation/benchmark purposes.
room_speed = 9999;
application_surface_enable(false);
// Initialise the video system. Only required to ever call this only once in the application.
result_init = video_init(window_device());
// Load a video from 'Included files'.
result_load = video_load("game.mp4");
// Example of how to load video using anywhere in the windows file system.
// video_load("c:\\b.mp4");
// Create placeholder for the video surface and draw result variable.
video_surface = 0;
result_draw = 0;
start_time = video_get_current_time;/// @description Example functionality
///video get duration is 41.43
///rhs eventually g4ets to duration
show_debug_message("Duration = " + string(video_get_duration()) + ", Current = " + string(video_get_current_time()));
curr_time = video_get_current_time();
time_diff = curr_time - start_time;
//if (time_diff > video_get_duration())
if(video_get_current_time() > video_get_duration())
{
room_goto(FirstLevel)
}/// @description Example draw usage
// Only create the surface once the video has loaded.
// As we wont nessesarily know its dimensions before this time.
if(!surface_exists(video_surface) && video_get_duration() > 0)
{
//video_surface = surface_create(video_get_width(), video_get_height());
video_surface = surface_create(1024, 768);
video_draw(); // Pre-draw sets up internal texture mapping after video has confirmed to have started.
}
// Once the surface exists and video is playing, set the surface as the render
// target and draw the video to it. Then we can draw back to the screen.
if(surface_exists(video_surface))
{
surface_set_target(video_surface)
result_draw = video_draw();
surface_reset_target();
draw_surface_ext(video_surface, 0, 0, 1.0, 1.0, 0, c_white, 1);
}start_time = video_get_current_time;Ok, thanks for the additional info there. I can in-fact replicate that behaviour now. It's due to the low 30 FPS room speed. The difference between video_get_current_time() and video_get_duration() is indistinguishable at that speed so it seems.
if(video_get_playback_ended())
room_goto_next();Nope, it's quite complete. Probably the most ambitious project I have ever worked on. I am quite proud of it.
I don't still think that about you now btw, that was the impression I had of you before years ago
That's ok. I'm still only 'mildly skilled'.
Not at this stage unfortunately.
Destroying and re-creating the surface is what you want to do.
