Animations
This is the animations page that describes all the animations in this plugin. There are two main kinds of animations, string animations and image animations. More may be added later and they may be edited/updated in future versions of the plugin.
String animations
One of the desired features of this plugin is making text move across the screen, to achieve this, you need to supply a animation type for a line to provide how the computer will animate a line. To see this demonstrated, you can try the plugin and different animation styles.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Scrolling forward Scrolling backward | Animation (right forward, left backward) that moves text across the screen and after the entire line has left the range of view, it appears on the other side of the view |
Wrapped forward Wrapped backward | Scrolling animation that wraps text as it scrolls across the screen, as soon as a character leaves on side of the screen, it enters on the next side of the line |
Frame by Frame | looks at the string and splits it up into frames delineated with a ";" ex: "hi;hello" would become : ["hi", "hello"]. |
None | no animation |
Conversion Table, different types of the plugin reefer to the animation types differently due to character limitations and some design limitations. Here is a table that will tell you all you need to know
Name | Config | Command |
---|---|---|
Scrolling forward | "scroll forward" | "scroll_fwd" |
Scrolling backward | "scroll back" | "scroll_bck" |
Wrapped forward | "wrap forward" | "wrap_fwd" |
Wrapped backward | "wrap back" | "wrap_bck" |
Frame by Frame | "frames" | "frames" |
None | "none" | "none" |
Fun idea: you could build your own animation with special software and import it as a frame by frame animation with a semicolon delimiter and have it work like any other animation. If it's really cool, send me a pm with the strings that constitute the animation.
Image Animations
The image is also animated so it needs an animation type, here are all the types. The names don't really mean much and I should have come up with better names.
Type | Description |
---|---|
gif | Animated, it will treat the loaded image as a gif file and load all frames as an animation it |
png | Not animated, it will load a static image of the image, works for most file formats |
These are more consistently named through the plugin. I recommend only using .png and .gif files. Also, when loading an image file, if no file can be found under the specified name, the plugin will save the default image and use that.
can you do an example please ? :D
you make an img with your config and an img with the result in minecraft
