What does "light switching" do?
I just love the DOPE-amine you get after completing a plugin!

You forgot [] around the "animation": ids in $HuResTp1.

Can I make a rotation-awared building have a single animation array?
E.g.:

Code: Select all

[
{
"id":"$nightanim_test",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[{"bmp":"test.png","w":32,"count":4}],
"light":true,
"light switching":true
},
{
. . .
"rotation aware":true,
"animation":[{"id":"$nightanim_test"}],
. . .
}
]
As I'm hardly ever online on forum, I don't read any notifications from here by now, so if you wanna ask me permission of a plugin, or something, ask me on Discord: JohnSallow#3093

Yes, that animation will be applied to all frames.

That's just a normal animation. It's a part of a building cut out.

Is it possible to set night animations for each frame of a building? I wanted to add night animations to a building with a left and right facing variant with rotation awareness.

I'm not an expert but try adding this in the night animation.

Code: Select all

"frames":[x] // x is the frame number (starts from 0)
Just my opinion

Might work, but I would recommend adding eg. "frame": 0 in your animation objects. This way, the animation will be applied to first frame only.

How am I supposed to save plugin space by animation? I don’t know how to do this. Tell me how. Thanks.

You may study this plugin.

It draws a base from one png, then multiple static floors with an elevator animation on each level from two other pngs, then a roof from a fourth png.
