Motion System 2
Since Build 1050 Alpha ABS has improved motion system
Features of Motion System 2:
- No need redo your animations, Motion system 2 use own commands, all your already exists Motions System animation will works fine.
- Support more than 3 frames on each animation. You can create animations with as many frames as you want.
- Support skills. You can create own animations for any skill. Casting animation and using skill animation is separated.
- More frames for weapon attack animation.
- Support custom actions. You can create some animations for enemy or player and play it with uAPI script call anytime.
- Each animation speed and frame count configuration through
Motion System 2 has Demo project with all animation types examples
Demo Project
- Sprites for motions must be in 📁 img/AMotions/
ABS Parameters:
-
<motionX: NAME>- where NAME - name of motion -
<motionADelay: X>- where X - delay between frames when attack animation playing. (default 9, minimum 1) -
<motionDelay: X>- where X - delay between frames when base and in battle state animation playing. -
<motionFrames: COUNT>- where COUNT - frames count (default 3) -
<motionOffset: DY>- where DY - offset in pixels for Y coordinate -
<motionWait: Z>- if 1, the character will be able to move (acting) only after the end of the animation (default 0)
Settings:
Animation sprite sheet structure:
File name structure:
weapon_$motionName_$actor_$index
where $actor - file name with actor graphics
$index - index of actor on this graphic file
$motionName - name of this motion (for use in game)
ABS Parameters:
-
<motionX: X>- where X - 1 - has motion, 0 - no motion -
<motionADelay>,<motionDelay>,<motionFrames>,<motionOffset>,<motionWait>- same as for weapons (see above)
Settings:
Animation sprite sheet structure:
File name structure:
enemy_$actor_$index
where $actor - file name with actor graphics
$index - index of actor on this graphic file
ABS Parameters:
-
<motionX: NAME>- where NAME - name of using skill motion -
<motionADelay: X>- where X - delay between frames when use skill animation playing. (default 9, minimum 1) -
<motionDelay: X>- where X - delay between frames when cast skill animation playing. -
<motionFrames: COUNT>- where COUNT - frames count (default 3) -
<motionOffset: DY>- where DY - offset in pixels for Y coordinate -
<castMotion: NAME>- where NAME - name of cast skill motion -
<castMotionFrames: COUNT>- where COUNT - frames count (default 3) -
<castMotionOffset: DY>- where DY - offset in pixels for Y coordinate -
<motionWait: Z>- if 1, the character will be able to move (acting) only after the end of the animation (default 0)
Settings:
Not necessary create both (cast and using) animations
Animation sprite sheet structure:
File name structure:
skill_$motionName_$actor_$index
where $actor - file name with actor graphics
$index - index of actor on this graphic file
$motionName - name of this motion (for use in game)
cast_$motionName_$actor_$index
where $actor - file name with actor graphics
$index - index of actor on this graphic file
$motionName - name of this motion (for use in game)
Examples:
For calling custom motion, use uAPI script calls.
uAPI.playAMotionForPlayer(NAME, FRAMES, DELAY, NOT_MOVE?, OFFSET) - play motion NAME for player
Where: FRAMES - frame count in Motion
DELAY - delay between frames when playing animation
NOT_MOVE? - if true - player can control character while playing animation
OFFSET - offset in pixels for Y coordinate
uAPI.playAMotionForEnemy(EVENT_ID, NAME, FRAMES, DELAY, NOT_MOVE?, OFFSET) - play motion NAME for enemy with ID EVENT_ID on map
Where: EVENT_ID - enemy event Id on map
FRAMES - frame count in Motion
DELAY - delay between frames when playing animation
NOT_MOVE? - if true - enemy can't moving while playing animation
OFFSET - offset in pixels for Y coordinate
Example:
Animation sprite sheet structure:
File name structure:
action_$motionName_$actor_$index
where $actor - file name with actor graphics
$index - index of actor on this graphic file
$motionName - name of this motion (for use in game)
