AzureLib

v4.0.13

Additions

• Added AzAnimator#onFirstAnimate(T), a hook that runs once on an animator's first animate() call, right before its controllers update. Commands dispatched here apply on that same frame, making it the reliable place to start spawn/initial animations.
• Added AzAnimator#getOrCreateContext(K, T), which binds the animatable to the context when it is created.
• Added AzPendingDispatches, which queues animation commands sent to an entity or block entity before its animator exists and replays them once the animator is created.
• Added AzIdentifiableItemStackAnimatorCache#dispatchOrQueue, which does the same for item stacks per AzItemAnimatorView.

Fixes

• Fixed animatables rendering in their bind pose (T-pose) for a frame when a transition finished, most noticeably on controllers with a transition length of 0. The transition state now hands off to the play state and applies keyframes in the same update.
• Fixed AzAnimationTimer adding the full absolute render time to animTime on its first tick, which made controllers treat transitions as instantly finished.
• Fixed animation commands being silently dropped when they arrived before the animatable had been rendered (entity, block entity, and item stack dispatch packets, and client-side dispatch).
• Fixed "Unable to create animation queue: animatable is null" when a command was dispatched before an animator's first animate() call, which left the controller with nothing to play.

Changes

• AzProvider now binds the animatable to the animation context on creation and flushes pending dispatches after registering controllers, both when creating an animator and when rebuilding it on a model change.
• Item stack dispatches (server packet and AzCommand#sendForItem on the client) now go through dispatchOrQueue instead of skipping stacks with no animator yet.

Developer Notes

• Use onFirstAnimate to start an entity's initial animation instead of keying off tickCount == 0. A freshly spawned entity is not guaranteed to render before its first client tick, especially on the first spawn after loading a world.
• Commands sent before an animatable's first render are now replayed when its animator is created rather than discarded, so server-sent spawn animations will now play where they previously did not.
• Queued item stack commands expire after 10 seconds. A command with no view is queued separately for each view that has no animator yet.
