Well I mean, first you should say what problem you are having, a problem with LUA is not the same as one with Json, or with some syntax or semantics, if u give more detail someone could surely help you...

My problem concerns a night animation not showing up at all although I am sure to have included everything necessary to make it work, and I am working with json.
I will soon post the json.

If you do not get any code errors, it is most likely that you are simply not aligning the night animation in X, Y.
I'll leave this here for reference:
Another option would be to use the
Animation Dev. Tool by ian

I already tried with that, but unfortunately that doesn't work, the animation just doesn't show up. Maybe that could actually be the reason, but I have no reference points to start from, so I don't know how much to move X and Y at all. Plus mine is an animation with a complex texture, so unfortunately I can't even use the Animation Dev Tool...
By the way this is the code
Code: Select all
[
{
"id": "$nightanimation1234",
"type": "animation",
"light": true,
"light switching": "true",
"frames": [
{
"bmp": "Cefal1 NA.png",
"count": 1,
"h": 4,
"w": 4
}
],
"rotation aware":
false},
{
"id": "$c.religion.2024-04-17-18:46",
"author": "FVI",
"meta": {
"pca": {
"version": "4.3.0"
}
},
"frames": [
{
"bmp": "Cefal.png"
}
],
"influence religion": 100,
"animation": [{"id": "$nightanimation1234", "x":0,"y":100}],
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"type": "religion"

Since I don't have those frames, I'll just give an example:
Code:
Select all Reset
[{
"id":"$example-night-animation-AJ22",
"type":"animation",
"light":true,
"light switching":true,
"frames": [{"bmp":"Night.png"}]
},
{
"id": "$example-plugin-AJ22",
"title": "Example",
"text": "Example.",
"author": "ArthurJ22",
"meta": {
"pca": {
"version": "4.3.0"
}
},
"frames": [{"bmp": "Example.png"}],
"animation": [{
"id": "$example-night-animation-AJ22", "x": 0, "y": -80
}],
"influence religion": 20,
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"draw ground": true,
"auto build": false,
"type": "religion"
}
]
Code:
Select all Reset
{
"id": "$manifest-5c51dc23-79b2-46e2-b321-0aa5bc1c6647",
"version": 1,
"title": "Example",
"text": "This is an example plugin, please do not publish.",
"author": "ArthurJ22"
}
As u can see its exactly as in the guideline, it is simply a matter of marking and knowing where they are supposed to be.
Btw that's not the only way of night frame, it's just the "easiest" one.
-----
Regarding ur code, you will already notice that u have Y = 100, being a positive value means that you have sent it under the ground.

I've tried to fix my code following some attributes of yours, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. I do not get why if I put both X and Y as 0, it doesn't automatically overlaps when it's night.
Anyway I could give you the frames if it helps.

You had a few errors in the code, here is the fixed:
Code:
Select all Reset
[{ //Animation Type
"id":"$nightanimation1234",
"type":"animation",
"light":true,
"light switching":true,
"frames": [{"bmp":"Cefal1 NA.png"}]
},
{ //Frame Data
"id": "$c.religion.2024-04-17-18:46",
"title": "Example",
"text": "Example.",
"author": "FVI",
"meta": {
"pca": {
"version": "4.3.0"
}
},
//Frames + Animation
"frames": [{"bmp": "Cefal.png"}],
"animation": [{
"id": "$nightanimation1234", "x": 0, "y": -128
}],
//Tags
"influence religion": 100,
"width": 4,
"height": 4,
"draw ground": true,
"auto build": false,
"type": "religion"
}
]
Again, you have to measure, you're not measuring and that's why you're struggling.
That is the measure of why it is -128.
Final result:
It should be noted that you have some "wild" pixels and details that u have not erased in ur
night frame that you should fix.
