RiveApp Trigger issue

aliagha.huseynli · 18 Jul 2023, 08:02

Hi Noesis team members,

I have a problem with using the Rive trigger type in C#
Any idea how can I use it in C# also how can I bind it within my xaml?

By the way, I can add other types such as boolean, number(float, int)

<NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveControl Height="500" Width="500" Source="/Assets/App/TestRive/Anchor_Cannon.riv">
            
            <!--#region Boolean-->
            <NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveInput InputName="IsThrow" InputValue="{Binding IsThrow}"/>
            <NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveInput InputName="IsDown" InputValue="{Binding IsDown}"/>
            <!--#endregion-->
            
            <!--#region Number-->            
            <NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveInput InputName="AnchorReload" InputValue="{Binding AnchorReload}"/>            
            <!--#endregion-->
            
        </NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveControl>

If you are referring to the RiveTriggerAction, it is defined as an interactivity action you can use in response to any interactivity trigger as shown in the documentation example.

<Grid
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"
  xmlns:noesis="clr-namespace:NoesisGUIExtensions;assembly=Noesis.GUI.Extensions">
  <noesis:RiveControl x:Name="rive" Source="player.riv"/>
  <Button Content="{Binding PlayerName}">
    <b:Interaction.Triggers>
      <b:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
        <noesis:RiveTriggerAction TargetName="rive" TriggerName="Fire"/>
      </b:EventTrigger>
    </b:Interaction.Triggers>
  </Button>
</Grid>

If you want to trigger the action from C# you can use the DataEventTrigger and just raise an event that you will be listening from the xaml.

Code: Select all

Thanks but it is outdated documentation. And with all due respect, it is horrible :)
It does not show me any path I can follow. This one as well (https://www.noesisengine.com/docs/App.R ... ntrol.html)
Do you believe that to call or reach this Rive input from .xaml to my C# code I watched a video from YouTube at 21:51 I saw the code which I want (https://youtu.be/F6Q4pfnBhbI)
It should be in the documentation not in the video ))
Anyway...
Now I need a similar version of the code example to know how can I use it.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance :)

it is outdated documentation

In what sense is outdated? The sample included in that document is functional.

And with all due respect, it is horrible :)

Well, there is always room for improvement. What are you missing from that class documentation? The code/data binding stuff? There is more documentation about code-behind and data binding topics in other tutorials.

It does not show me any path I can follow.

From your first message I understood you already had the bool/number inputs working. So you probably had a ViewModel exposing bool/number properties, and already notifying of changes, and the ViewModel set as DataContext of the xaml. And if your question was about the RiveTriggerAction and how to trigger it from C# the best option is to expose an event in your ViewModel and use the DataEventTrigger in xaml as I mentioned. The C# code will look like this:

public class RiveTriggerViewModel : MonoBehaviour
{
    public event EventHandler OnStar;
    private void RaiseOnStar() { OnStar?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty); }

    void Start() {
        NoesisView view = GetComponent<NoesisView>();
        view.Content.DataContext = this;
    }

    void Update() {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
           RaiseOnStar();
    }
}

And the xaml will look like this:

<Grid>
  <b:Interaction.Triggers>
    <NoesisGUIExtensions:DataEventTrigger Source="{Binding}" EventName="OnStar">
      <NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveTriggerAction TargetName="rive" TriggerName="OnStar"/>
    </NoesisGUIExtensions:DataEventTrigger>
  </b:Interaction.Triggers>
  <NoesisGUIExtensions:RiveControl x:Name="rive" Height="500" Width="500" Source="/Assets/App/TestEventTrigger/Shapes.riv"/>
</Grid>

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for your time. Right now it works how it should be.
