Since KoalaGuy was deleted, all his posts are gone. One of those posts was about custom animations. So here I am remaking the tutorial

To define your animation:

Code: Select all

[
   {
       "id":"myanimation",
       "frames":[ {
              "bmp":"myanim.png"
              "move x":5 //In moment number 1, 
             //our animation will be in x 5
             "move y":16 //and in y 16
           },{
              "bmp":"myanim.png"
              "move x":10 //In moment number 2, 
             //our animation will be in x 10
             "move y":16 //and in y 16
           }
           
         ]
         "handle interpolation":5 //5 ticks between
         //moment 1 and moment 2
     }
]

To use it:

Code: Select all

[ 
  {
    "id":"buildingwithanimation",
    "type":"decoration",
    "width":1,
    "height":1,
    "frames":[{"bmp":"basepart.png"}],
    "animation":[
      {"id":"myanimation"}
    ]
  }
 ]

I hope I didn't mess up with anything

You would normally put the animation in the same json file as the plugin. Like so:

Code: Select all

[
{Example 1 in quote
},
{Example 2 in quote
}
]

I have a question
I can create an animation that looks like the animation of the energy supply buildings?

[MeUsic]

Can someone explain to me how to make an animation array? I have the model and night lights model ready, but I can't make them appear in game.

[burgernamn]

is ticks = speed of the animation?

[Dzhiya]

Does this animation reverse and repeatedly automatically? Or is there value?

How do we make night transition animation?

[Kulche]

[Mendel Group]

The transition from day to night makes different hues, how do we do that?

How do you finder the X and Y in a picture?

How do you finder the X and Y in a picture?

Example here I was measuring where the light would be, remember that if it is to up a frame it must be negative so it would be "y": -80



As you can see, it's exactly as the guideline says. It's all about marking the spots and remembering where they go.

Keep in mind that ideally, you should use individual light frames if they are windows and the vast majority have the same shape, primarily to optimize plugin space.

Besides, it might be a bit trickier, but the same principle applies. As long as you know where the zero point is, you can position the frame correctly in X too.

Another option would be to use the Animation Dev Tool by ian, which is more visually intuitive and allows you to position the frames more easily.
