Creating Animations - CodeCrafter47/BungeeTabListPlus GitHub Wiki

When creating animation you have two choices: Use the !animated custom placeholder or the !animated component. While the custom placeholder can only create animated text, using the !animated component allows you to change the icon and ping at the same time.

The !color_animation Custom Placeholder

The !color_animation Custom Placeholder offers an easy way to create a set a predefined effects. It is easier to show than tell, so here is a sample of the different effects that can be created.

The following config has been used to create those effects. You can use it as a starting point for your own, customizing colors and such.

customPlaceholders:
  demo_random:
    !color_animation
    effect: "random"
    colors: ['&8', '&7', '&7']
  demo_wave:
    !color_animation
    effect: wave
    baseColor: "&c"
    effectColor: "&e"
    speed: 4
  demo_wave_backwards:
    !color_animation
    effect: wave
    baseColor: "&c"
    effectColor: "&e"
    speed: -4
  demo_wave_center:
    !color_animation
    effect: waveCenter
    baseColor: "&5"
    effectColor: "&d"
  demo_glitter:
    !color_animation
    effect: glitter
    baseColor: "&6"
    effectColor: "&f"
components:
- ${demo_wave Amazing}
- ${demo_wave_backwards Colorful}
- ${demo_wave_center Beautiful}
- ${demo_glitter Glamorous}
- ${demo_random Nothing to see}

The !animated Custom Placeholder

It is possible to do animations using the !animated custom placeholder. The following example creates a ${animated_bars} placeholder that can be used anywhere on the tab list.

customPlaceholders:
  animated_bars:
    !animated
    interval: 0.2
    elements:
    - "&6&c=&6=============="
    - "&6=&c=&6============="
    - "&6==&c=&6============"
    - "&6===&c=&6==========="
    - "&6====&c=&6=========="
    - "&6=====&c=&6========="
    - "&6======&c=&6========"
    - "&6=======&c=&6======="
    - "&6========&c=&6======"
    - "&6=========&c=&6====="
    - "&6==========&c=&6===="
    - "&6===========&c=&6==="
    - "&6============&c=&6=="
    - "&6=============&c=&6="
    - "&6==============&c=&6"

The !animated Component

While the custom placeholder is great for creating fast paced text animations, the !animated component comes with the advantage of being able to not only animate text but also change the icon and ping of a slot. However, we recommend against changing the icon in fast animations, as the client always requires some time to update the icon.

In the following example we use the !animated component to cycle through displaying different stats:

- !animated
  interval: 1.5
  components:
  - {text: "&cBalance: &6${viewer vault_balance 1.2}", icon: "default/balance.png", ping: 0}
  - {text: "&cRank: &6${viewer vault_primary_group}", icon: "default/rank.png", ping: 0}
  - {text: "&cPing: ${viewer_colored_ping}ms", icon: "default/ping.png", ping: 0}
