Animations

[Kulche]

I rewrote the tutorial to make it clearer and easier for others to learn


Definition

First, you have to define the animation so you can use it later. Here's how to do so:

Code: Select all

[
	{
	"id":"$tutorial_animation00", //unique id of your animation
	"type":"animation",
	"frames":[{"bmp":"tutorial.png"}, {"bmp":"tutorial2.png"}],
	"speed":2.5 //speed at which will the frames change, 1 is default, the higher the value, the slower it goes
}
]

Usage

Now, you need to add the actual animation to a building:

Code: Select all

[
	{
	... //rest of the building's code goes here ^
	"animation":[
		{"id":"$tutorial_animation00", //defines which animation will it use
		"x":14, //position of animation on horizontal axis, x:0 is at the leftmost edge, will show the anim close to the center
		"y":-3 //position on vertical axis, x:0 is on the middle of the tile, will show the anim slightly above the center
		}]
}
]

And, that's the result:

You have to believe it actualy moves, here's the file if you don't:
