Animations

An animation is a page with an animation: section and keyframes. Make one in the editor (Make animation, then the + buttons on the timeline) or by hand:

animation:
  length: 40              # ticks (20 = 1 second)
elements:
  black:
    type: box
    anchor: center
    x: -2040
    width: 4080
    height: 1080
    color: "#000000"
    keyframes:
      - {t: 0, opacity: 0}
      - {t: 10, opacity: 100, ease: in}     # linear, in, out, in-out, step
      - {t: 40, opacity: 0}

Playing animations

• Command: /novaui play <animation> [player|all] and /novaui stop <animation> [player|all].
• API: NovaUIAPI.play(player, "anim_fade", () -> ...) runs your code when it ends.
• Automatically, in config.yml: animations.on-join, on-teleport, on-world-change (teleport-min-distance skips short teleports).

The shipped animations are anim_teleport, anim_title (also /welcome) and anim_fade.

Good to know

Animations update 20 times a second. Position, box size, head size and opacity move smoothly. Text size and image size step between the sizes the pack has.
