Built-in Animations

Parameter Types

Name

Description

a

Amplitude, the strength of an effect. A higher amplitude creates a stronger effect.

For example: the height of a wave, the amount shake offsets letters.

d

Delay, the time in seconds before the effect starts.

f

Frequency, the speed of an animation. A higher frequency creates a faster effect.

l

Limit, the number of cycles (or seconds for animations without cycles) before the animation stops.

w

Wave Size, for effects that work in waves (<wave>, <rainbow>, etc.). For example, a wave size of 5 means the full wave will be completed after 5 letters.

Examples

Code

Explanation

Example <wave>text</wave>!

text is animated as a wave, it uses default parameters.

<wiggle>Example</wiggle><wave>text</wave>

Example wiggles with default parameters; text waves with default parameters

<wave>Example <swing>text</swing></wave>

Animations can be combined

<wave f=5>Example</wave>

Example waves 5 times per second.

<wave a=3 d=3 f=5 w=10>Example</wave>

Example waves with an amplitude of 3 (very large), a frequency of 5, and a wave size of 10 letters. The animation starts 3 seconds after the text appears.

Performance cost

The type and amount of animations you use should not significantly impact performance. Most of the performance cost is up-front when you set your text and is mostly dependent on the length of your text.

Check out the Performance Optimization Guide for more information.

Check out Custom Animations and Custom C# Animations if you want to extend the asset with your own animations.
