CSS Animation~~~

[ASF1nk]

Straight to the point.
I'm trying to make the character icons (the squares) in the CSS animate every time you select the character (when the coin is placed).

So how would I ago about doing that? I kinda know how to animate using BrawlBox, but I don't really know if I need to create a new model with its own animation or what. Or how to make the animation start when the character has been selected.

Help will be appreciated, thanks.

I'll look into it right now. They may not have animations for them, unlike the menu icons, but I can check for you.

EDIT: Alright, so, I'm not 100% sure what these animations do, but, sc_selcharacter.pac

MiscData[30] -> Any MenSelchrFace_TopN. Open it up, and go to the animation named the same as the face you opened, but with a _0 at the end. I am GUESSING that this is either the idle, or the selection animation, so mess around with that a bit and see what it does.

i wonder i should try this out too i always wondered about css animating

I tired editing that, but that animation is for when you enter the CSS, not when you select a character, now I edited and I some how got what I wanted, but something tells me its not right when I enter the CSS there are no icons, and when the hand goes over them they appear but like in angle you can barely see what character they are, and when you select them I get the rotating animation I want, but if you pass the hand over the icons while holding the coin the icons go back to that angle animation, not sure what to do.

so are trying to make the actual pics animate or just the boxes because then it could be like the original smash bros

ok here is what I thought about doing first but realized I didn't know how to do it.
I thought about making a new model and a corresponding new animation.
For the model I would copy MenSelchrFaceI_TopN and for the animation I thought about copying the animation for MenSelCoineff_TopN which is the effect for when you place the coin, hard to see if you don't look at it, but anyways I then realized that I didn't know how to link the actual icon model to the animation. I mean even thought they shared the same name the model had the icons, but the animations wasn't for the icons i was for some effect, so I stopped there.

hmm let me try something

 

[ASF1nk]

ok I figured something out the angled animation in which the icons appears is frame 21 which is the last animated frame in an unedited animation.

well at least is something .-.

Did you add any frames to the animation?

 

[ASF1nk]

well. I went past frame 21, but I deleted frames.

If you delete or add any frames to the animation, it'll glitch up. I found out the hard way when animating my menu buttons.
