Scrolling

To make animated themes you MUST know how to make static themes

Animated themes can come in different ways

Scrolling, frame by frame, etc

I'll be making base themes for each new animation styles, but for this tutorial we will be using Scrolling animation

We will be using this one as a base: (Missing)

  1. Open switch toolbox and go to LoungeScaleMeter.bflyt

Image title

  1. Choose your scrolling image

for this tutorial we will be using this one

Image title

  1. Add it like with BC3_UNORM format

Image title

  1. Open materials and select L_BtnLoungeScale_03

Image title

edit

  1. Now the good part, animating

If you want to leave it as it is now you can do that but ill explain how to animate anyways

Select Animation Hierarchy we will be using LoungeScaleMeter_In.bflan

Image title

An animation is made up by 3 important things

-TagInfo -Animation Info -the animated part on this case L_BtnLoungeScale_03

Image title

I dont know what the limit of Frames an animation haves, but i feel like 1000 to 2000 is enough or atleast for scrolling animations

you can change this on TagInfo and Animation Info

On TagInfo change the Frame amount in this case -1000 to anything you like, do the same with Animation info

Image title

  1. Now select the part we to animate

in this case L_BtnLoungeScale_03

Image title

Translate Y means it will only move on the Y axis

Key Frames 0 to 2 means the position in which the image will be moving

Frame 0 = position A Frame 1 = position B Frame 2 = Back to position A

  1. Select the Key Frame and edit

Image title

Value means the position

You can play with this as much as you want, it's all up to you

i'll save and show the final product

you can make it slower by increasing the amount of frames

Notes:

-You need an already existing part to animate, like something that is already on a theme that is animated, if you add a new one it wont work or atleast without doing some coding

-The curve type needs to be hermite or it wont work either, or atleast it didnt work for me lol
