Animate PAA

[Connor. 205]

I was playing around with the idea of GIF-like "animated" textures on vehicles & markers. Turned out better than I was expecting so thought I'd share it.

Works in SP/MP, documentation is on github. Can be loaded as a mod or packed into a mission file. The mod version is on SWS, both versions and a demo is on the github release.

This is something total new !!!

Congratulations Connor.!

 

I would like also to ask you if it's posible.

 

We i started creating my GF Blood Stains and SFX Script :

I was asked if it's possible to animate the blood pics , so that the blood pools would grow from none to full.

 

Might now this be possible ?

Thanks !

George: Is it possible to animate a scale up?

Hello EDcase ,

it is possible and it is like this in bloodlust , but the result is not that good and there is a problem with the surfaces ,it appears the ground to flash in the progress.

 

So this is why i'm asking.

Hi there, I've only taken a moment to see how your mod works but from what I've seen it is possible to do what you're asking.

There would end up being a slight issue with the animation looping once it finishes but I'll add something to toggle that later today.

Just released an update adding two new loop modes and a config property to define which mode your animation should use.

Definitions can be found here: https://github.com/ConnorAU/A3AnimatePAA/blob/master/demo/config.cpp#L42-L46

Hey Connor, that is really slick man.  Great idea.  I hope @Grumpy Old Man doesn't watch your example vid in top post and see the dancing banana marker...  He'll definitely abuse that feature.

Great for making ambiance I think. Like TVs or monitors with sormthing moving on the screen

Update:

• Added image control support
• Added sqf-based parameters (see syntax 2)
• Modified config format (see example)
• Fixed demo

Do you know that since you created this, PAA animations really became a thing? You can do slide/zoom with textures using animation sources just like on 3D Models.

Of course not scripted solution but.... your stuff is mod config anyway.
