Death Animation System

Source file: client/engine/systems/systems_functions/DeathAnimationSystem.cpp

Purpose: Remove entities marked for a death animation once their non-looping animation finishes.

Components used:

  • AnimationDeath (death-in-progress flag)
  • AnimatedSprite (current animation state)

Behavior​

  • Iterates entities with AnimationDeath.
  • If AnimatedSprite exists and currentAnimation returned to "Default" (death anim ended), kills the entity via reg.KillEntity.
  • If no AnimatedSprite, removes the entity immediately.

Main signature​

void DeathAnimationSystem(Eng::registry &reg,
    Eng::sparse_array<Component::AnimatedSprite> &animated_sprites,
    Eng::sparse_array<Component::AnimationDeath> &animation_deaths);

Notes​

  • Assumes AnimationSystem switches back to "Default" after a non-looping death animation.
  • Loop safety is expected to be configured on the animation itself.
