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
}
]

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.
