Animated Menu like phases

Hello, does anyone know how to make animations in UI areas continue to loop? I see the button in BB but not sure how to enable it. Bare with my Novice Questions i'm learning. I would like to have a similar effect to Phases on the main menu screen.

 

Create a scene that is muted by selecting it and pressing M on your keyboard. Then add that scene to your main menu - you can do that on that mind map looking graph, click once on Main Menu and select the scene from the right hand side menu

 

I'm assuming this can't be done in BB2?



Thanks!

 

I haven't done an animated menu yet in bb2 but I'm pretty sure the tools to do this are baked in to the ui editor now, including key frames and path extrapolation

 

I am 100% sure that you can do it, as I am trying to do as well. So if I find anything I will make sure that I will tell you guys

 

Guys do you mean how in Phases the blocks are spawning with light effects in BG?

You'd create a "scene" like any other level, but in this add background/Lights and for the spawning boxes effect, add a box physics object and set it to spawner permanent, give it velocities, and play around with the settings until you see it doing what you want it to.

Then you'd go to the menu editor and as Start Screen select the scene you created in scene editor (make sure you mute it there). Then add your buttons and you're good to go

 

To emulate the background scene behavior of BB1, in BB2 you simply add a new "world" to the Main Menu UI for example and create your background scene there.

@Andy Thanks a lot! I was doing the exact same thing but the other way around

 

Your the best @Andy!

 

now that i see it, makes total sense, thank you!

 

Hi @Andy - did what you said but nothing happens - goes directly to "game start" screen

 

The mind map is correct. Not sure what the issue is from you description.
