...Where element means game element's token (you can enable those in the game in settings, by the way, and they will show up in editor when checking element's properties), action means whatever that element is doing for that animation to occur (.moving, .digging, .collecting, .pushing, .snapping, .active, .exploding, etc.), direction means whichever direction the element is facing (.left, .right, .up and .down) and attribute, which is basically additional data about animation's location on a texture file (.xpos and .ypos), the amount of frames it requires (.frames), whichever frame you want it to start from (.start_frame), in what kind of way you want the animation to go (.anim_mode), etc.element.action.direction.attribute: [value]
Code: Select all
custom_1.moving.right: my_animation.png # -- The image file the sprite is taken from
custom_1.moving.right.xpos: 0 # -- The horizontal position of your sprite in the image, where 0 means 0 pixels off and 1 means 32 pixels off
custom_1.moving.right.ypos: 1 # -- The vertical position of your sprite in the image, same rule with pixels applies here
custom_1.moving.right.frames: 8 # -- The amount of frames your sprite will use for the animation, in order from left to right. 1 means there's no animation
custom_1.moving.right.delay: 4 # -- The amount of time before the current frame changes to the next one, where 1 = 0.02 seconds
custom_1.moving.right.anim_mode: loop # -- The different kinds of animation modes you can potentially use
# --- loop - regular loop, it goes through all frames and then resets to the first one (1234567812345678123...)
# --- pingpong - goes through every frame, then reverses before reaching the start and reverses back to the regular order (1234567876543212345...)
# --- pingpong2 - same as pingpong but holds first and last frames a frame longer (1234567887654321123...)
# --- random - randomly picks a frame, no specific pattern (???????????????...)
# --- random_static - similar to random, but it keeps the same frame frozen until the element itself moves, changes or does anything to update it's animation
# --- linear - goes through every frame before stopping at the last frame (1234567888888888888...)
# --- reverse - reverses the animation (8765432178654321876...), can also be combined with few other modes (for example, '.anim_mode: linear,reverse', 8765432111111111111111...)
custom_1.moving.right.start_frame: 0 # -- The number of a frame you want the animation to start from, where first frame is 0 and second frame is 1
custom_1.moving.right.global_sync: false # -- If true, this means that instead of playing this animation individually for every element, all elements of that exact action and facing that exact direction will globally synchronize their animations ever since you enter a level disregarding if some instances were few milliseconds late
custom_1.name: My animation # -- A custom name you can apply to any element in editor (won't really work with actions and directions besides some unique cases like 'dynamite.active', 'switchgate_switch.active' and 'bug.down')
