Scrolling Texture Type

Scrolling textures

Scrolling textures are a type of animated texture similar to vanilla's animated textures. However, instead of specifying each frame individually, the frame 'scrolls' over the texture.
The scrolling texture type uses the identifier scrolling and has the following properties:

Note

Random textures also support all properties of the base texture type.

key	values	default	description
from	top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right	top_left	Where the frame starts
to	top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right	bottom_left	Where the frame ends
frame_width	integer, >0	16	Width of the frame
frame_height	integer, >0	16	Height of the frame
frame_time	integer, >0	10	Duration each frame is displayed for in ticks, 1 second = 20 ticks
loop_type	wrap, reset, reverse	wrap	How to continue from the end of one animation iteration to the next
loop_pause	integer, >=0	0	Pause duration between loops in ticks, 1 second = 20 ticks

Here is an example of the scrolling texture type used to create a conveyor belt:

{ "fusion": { "type": "scrolling", "from": "top_left", "to": "bottom_left", "frame_time": 10, "frame_width": 16, "frame_height": 16, "loop_type": "wrap", "loop_pause": 0 } }

Loop type

There are 3 different loop types available for scrolling textures: wrap, reset, and reverse. The loop type determines what happens at the end of a loop to continue with the next loop. The wrap option makes the frame wrap around the image to the starting point. The reset option makes the frame jump to the starting point. The reverse option plays the frames back in reverse.

Here is an example of an electronic board to show the difference between the loop types:

{ "fusion": { "type": "scrolling", "loop_type": "wrap", "from": "top_left", "to": "top_right", "frame_time": 4, "frame_width": 16, "frame_height": 16 } }
{ "fusion": { "type": "scrolling", "loop_type": "reset", "from": "top_left", "to": "top_right", "frame_time": 4, "frame_width": 16, "frame_height": 16 } }
{ "fusion": { "type": "scrolling", "loop_type": "reverse", "from": "top_left", "to": "top_right", "frame_time": 4, "frame_width": 16, "frame_height": 16 } }
