I haven't used it yet, but I'm thinking of doing it in the future for one of my mod ideas. So I can't really help you that much now since I don't have any code examples I can point to. What kind of modding experience do you have?

Code: Select all

data:extend{
  {
    type = "animation",
    name = "my-animation",
    filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/electric-furnace/electric-furnace-heater.png",
    width = 25,
    height = 15,
    frame_count = 12,
    animation_speed = 0.5,
  },
}

In control.lua you can then place the animation anywhere on the map. You cannot edit the animation in control.lua, but it does have some properties like scale and speed that you can adjust.
