Tip

Animation Frame Points are invisible, manually placed points, used to play effects (sounds/particles), or execute custom behaviors with the API/Skript, whenever an animation frame begins.

Know which frame to add a point to

  • Execute /mdis anim info to display provide information about your selected animation

    This animation has 11 frames with IDs ranging from 0 to 10 (0 is frame 1, 10 is frame 11)

  • Preview your desired animation frame with packets by using /mdis anim previewframe <frame-id>

    Use /mdis anim showframe <frame-id> without packets on versions below v3.0.0

Creating a Frame Point

  • While standing where you want to frame point to be, enter the command /mdis anim addpoint <frame-id> <point-tag>

    • frame-id is the ID of the frame that should have the point added

    • point-tag is the tag/identifier the frame point should use.
