Animations

While the game engine is basically 2D, we do have a few animations for various effects to add some action.

Use

These animations are mainly short lived and small in size. Most of these are related to combat actions like shooting or explosive effects.

Animations are located in /Modules/Common/Animations folder. These assets are used by the game engine for the type of actions noted by the filename.

Users cannot add new items to this folder. If you wish to change the any animation in this folder, you must do the following:

Use the same name
The art element must have the same size for height and width in pixels and the same name and number of frames and duration
The animation frames should be PNG files with transparency
The files must be saved into a ZIP file with the same name

Note

Making an animation too large or small, too long or short, or misspelling the name of frames or the file can result in a game engine crash.

Note

If you plan to make new animations, it is advised to back up the originals to a new location.
