## Effects in Animations
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is much easier to use particles or sounds in animation rather than in animation controller.
|
|
Animations can have effects in them, such as:
|
|
|
|
- Particles
|
|
- Sounds
|
|
|
|
### Particles
|
|
|
|
Minecraft Particles can be used in entity animations. For example, the phantom has an animation which emits the minecraft:phantom_trail particle constantly. Let's try to add a particle to our entity's attack animation.
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/entity/my_entity.json</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"particle_effects": {
|
|
"flames": "minecraft:mobflame_emitter"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here we defined a shortname for particle that we are going to use.
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of particles [here](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Particles) or [here](/particles/vanilla-particles).
|
|
|
|
:::warning Warning!
|
|
Not every particle works there. If you have problems, consider trying another particle. For example, use this one.
|
|
Also note that some particles emit constantly.
|

|
|
|
|
### Sounds
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a sound, you need to define it too.
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/entity/my_entity.json</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"sound_effects": {
|
|
"meow": "mob.cat.meow"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::warning Warning!
|
|
Not every sound works there. If you have problems, consider trying another sound. For example, use this one.

## Adding Effects to Animation
|
|
|
|
You can add particles or sounds to your animation mainly or in Blockbench.
|
|
|
|
### Mainly
|
|
|
|
You need to add the following to your animation:
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/animations/my_animation.json#my.animation</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"particle_effects": {
|
|
"0.0": {
|
|
"effect": "flames",
|
|
"locator": "" //You need to add a locator in your model
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/animations/my_animation.json#my.animation</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"sound_effects": {
|
|
"0.0": {
|
|
"effect": "meow"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can call more than one particle at the same time:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"particle_effects": {
|
|
"0.0": [
|
|
{
|
|
"effect": "particle_1",
|
|
"locator": "locator_1"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"effect": "particle_2",
|
|
"locator": "locator_2"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/animations/my_animation.json</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"format_version" : "1.8.0",
|
|
"animations" : {
|
|
"animation.sheep.grazing" : {
|
|
"animation_length" : 2.0,
|
|
"loop" : true,
|
|
"particle_effects": {

|
|
"effect": "flames",

|
|
"0.2" : [ 0.0, -9.0, 0.0 ],
|
|
"1.8" : [ 0.0, -9.0, 0.0 ],
|
|
"2" : [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
|

},
|
|
"rotation" : {
|
|
"0.2" : {
|
|
"post" : [ "180.0 * (0.2 + 0.07 * math.sin(q.key_frame_lerp_time * 1644.39))", 0.0, 0.0 ],
|
|
"pre" : [ 36.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```

### In Blockbench
|
|
|
|
First let's add a locator for our particle. Go to "Edit" section, select a group, right-click and choose "Add Locator":
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rename it and move where you want.
|
|
|
|
Then go to "Animate" section, choose an animation and click on a magic stick icon:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now click "+" to open menu and specify the data:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can attach a sound to animation the same way.
|
|
|
|
Now save your animation and launch the game!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Offscreen Updating
|
|
|
|
You can set `"should_update_bones_and_effects_offscreen"` to `true` inside entity rp scripts for particle and sound effects to update offscreen, by default both of them will stop playing if the entity isn't being rendered on display.
|
|
|
|
<CodeHeader>RP/entity/my_entity.json#description</CodeHeader>
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"should_update_bones_and_effects_offscreen": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
