[0.18] Burner Generator

Post by bobingabout »

I've updated the Burner Generator in my mods to use the new prototype, based on what I saw in the base game example. (Mostly just a clone of the steam engine with a few minor tweaks in the structure)

Question. Is there any chance of a working visualisation?
I mean, it's a burner, I'm not saying it needs a full set of working visualisations, but as an example, the boiler has a fire animation that displays when it's working.
Any chance for anything like that on the Burner Generator? (or even already there, just not in the example?)

There is idle_animation, and animation, I suppose that will work as it sounds

I'll give it a try, see if I can come up with something that works.

idle_animation disapears when animation turns off, so I did it with layers specifying the same animation twice, and it seems to work.

is there a tag that says to always show idle animation, or should I call it done?

Thanks for the help anyway, I'll call it done for now then.
