customblockanim.lua - Cause we got no block.txt at the moment

[Emral]

This script lets you customize blocks kinda like you would customise NPCs, BGOs and effects in txt files. Definitely not basegame-worthy, but it should take care of wanting animating blocks of certain sizes.

Code: Select all

-- customblockanim.register is the only thing you can call in this library. It takes an ID and several optional arguments and will transform all blocks of the specified ID into what you set them to be. It will adjust width and height or all blocks of the ID to image.width and image.height/frames automatically.
customblockanim.register(id, {
	frames = #, --default 4
	framespeed = #, --default 8
	opacity = #, --default 1
	priority = #, --default -65
	img = imageresource, --defaults to standard image of the block id, will make block automatically invisible if left unchanged
})

This is cool, it will be surely useful for the project i am helping out with.

Why exactly is this drawing the blocks manually? That has a bunch of limitations (such as blocking access to Graphics.sprites). Why doesn't it use the block animation memory locations like the animated blocks in basegame do? (With the exception of the TNT block, which does need to draw itself manually in order to use per-instance animation).
