2nd Generation Goo animations
-
How does it work?
I place a bunch of animation frames in one place, together they create a stack of frame
When life of one frame depletes another frame is exposed
The Tool
I scripted a tool to help with making those animations
https://starcatcher.us/scripts/main.lua?get=205 (will be out when approved by mods)
It puts the goo in a stack for you and at the end reverses its order (so the animation plays forwards)
It also reduces particle count at the end.How to use the tool?
1. Download the script and enable it in the LUA script manager (The new update isnt in the script manager yet, use this link instead) (https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=19400)
2. Create a new empty save
3. Press CTRL + T to begin animating
4. Specify the resolution and frame interval of your animation
5. Draw the first frame with deco
6. Press the , key to start drawing the next frame (use . to copy the current frame)
7. After you draw all the frames you want, press CTRL + T again to finish the animation
8. The end result is automatically saved as stamp. Unpause the game to play the animationLimitations
Some of its limitations are the particle limit and the maximum size of a save in tpt.
The max frame count considers only the worst case scenario but could be higher depending on how much pixels change in between the frames
Is it CGI?
The tool just helps with stacking the frames but you draw the frames by hand with deco.
So it's not.
I also asked a TPT moderator

That's cool but the last thing that don't work is that when I press , it skips a frame, so I have a frame of my animation, a frame with no deco and then a frame back with deco

not sure if i understand you
But you should press , or . after you completed the current frame and want to draw the next one -
When I press , it says Frame 2 and Frame 3 at the same time. It acts like I press , two times, but I press it only one time. The frame 2 is skipped. And that's the same thing every time I press ,

First of all make sure in the script manager that you arent running the same script twice. If you have 2 copies of it disable one. If that doesnt help then try typing in the console GooAnim.nextFrame() and see if it still happens
