Making a fence

[TheoTownFan]

Okay so I downloaded a Barbed Wire fence as a plugin and it's been chilling there in my decorations folder with kinda gets on my nerves. Now that we got the new beta update for fences my OCD with this plugin is really ticking me off, lol.

Here's some pictures to let you understand.

This is the category I want the barbed wire plugin inside. But I don't know how!

Can someone please help me. I have ES File Explorer so I don't mind with the coding as long as you guys can tell me the steps.

Thank you,

}]

The fence is drawn at the bottom of the tile I believe. Let's give this a try.

So to get it in the desired category, use this line in the code:

Code: Select all

   "category":"$cat_fence00",

To get it to use the fence tool, it needs to be defined like $atmfence above.

The fence tool uses two frames of width 16. Frame 0 is the left side, frame 1 is the right side.

Can I put night animations in a fence?

Can I put night animations in a fence?

No, I don't think so. I tried calling an animation from a fence. I did not see it being used.

Using null frames

Code: Select all

"frames":[]

for example in a fence results in a crash error when the game tries to draw it as it is expecting two bitmaps.

Code: Select all

"frames":[,]

works however.
