Repeat

It is sometimes useful to repeat a sequence of action for your games. For example if you want an enemy to patrol back and forth, or for a platform to repeat a certain pattern.

Repeat​

This method will cause the actor to repeat all of the actions built in the repeatBuilder callback. If the number of repeats is not specified it will repeat forever. This method is part of the actor 'Action' fluent API allowing action chaining.

typescript
// Move up in a zig-zag by repeated moveBy's
actor.actions.repeat((repeatCtx) => {
  repeatCtx.moveBy(10, 0, 10)
  repeatCtx.moveBy(0, 10, 10)
}, 5)
typescript
// Move up in a zig-zag by repeated moveBy's
actor.actions.repeat((repeatCtx) => {
  repeatCtx.moveBy(10, 0, 10)
  repeatCtx.moveBy(0, 10, 10)
}, 5)

Repeat Forever​

This method will cause the actor to repeat all of the actions built in the repeatBuilder callback. If the number of repeats is not specified it will repeat forever. This method is part of the actor 'Action' fluent API allowing action chaining.

typescript
// Move up in a zig-zag by repeated moveBy's
actor.actions.repeatForever((repeatCtx) => {
  repeatCtx.moveBy(10, 0, 10)
  repeatCtx.moveBy(0, 10, 10)
})
typescript
// Move up in a zig-zag by repeated moveBy's
actor.actions.repeatForever((repeatCtx) => {
  repeatCtx.moveBy(10, 0, 10)
  repeatCtx.moveBy(0, 10, 10)
})
