Text Animator

Text Animator is an extension of the text renderer. You can use tags to add animation to some words almost anywhere.

Effects

Basic usage

• Add effect: `text`
• Remove effect: `text`
• Effects can be stacked.

typewriter

Can only be used at the beginning of the text. Rendering characters or words one by one, simulating typing.

• Example: `Typewriter Effect`

bounce

Make characters bounce back vertically.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 1.0)
• Example: `BOING!`

fade

Periodically change opacity (breathing light).

• Parameters:

  • a: Minimum Opacity (default 0.3)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 0.0)
• Example: `Fading Text`

glitch

Create text slicing, and occasional flicker, generating additional layers in some cases.

• Parameters:

  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • j: Character Jitter Chance (default 0.015)
  • b: Character Blink Chance (default 0.003)
  • s: Slicing/Shifting Chance (default 0.08)
• Example: `ERROR`

grad (Gradient)

Support linear gradient in RGB or HSV, can be flowing and segmented.

• Parameters:

  • from: Start Color (default 5BCEFA)
  • to: End Color (default F5A9B8)
  • hue: Whether to interpolate in HSV space (default false)
  • f: Flow Speed (0 for static, default 0.0)
  • sp: Span, affecting color distribution between characters (default 20.0)
  • uni: Whether to be unidirectional without swinging (default false for back-and-forth)
• Example: `Flowing Gradient Text`

neon

Draw multiple glowing outlines for characters.

• Parameters:

  • p: Sampling Count, at least 4 (default 10)
  • r: Radius (default 2)
  • a: Opacity Multiplier (default 0.12)
• Example: `Neon Glow`

pend (Pendulum/circular)

Characters swing around the top-middle, can plus small circular trajectories.

• Parameters:

  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • a: Maximum Angle in degrees (default 30.0)
  • r: Circular Radius (default 0.0)
• Example: `Swinging Around`

pulse

Overall brightness fluctuates over time (does not affect shadow layer).

• Parameters:

  • base: Minimum Brightness Multiplier (default 0.75)
  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 0.0)
• Example: `Power Rising`

rainb (Rainbow)

Cycle colors over HSV.

• Parameters:

  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 1.0)
• Example: `Colorful Text!`

shadow

Modify the offset and color of the text shadow.

• Parameters:

  • x: Horizontal Offset Delta (default 0.0)
  • y: Vertical Offset Delta (default 0.0)
  • c: Color in hex (e.g. FF0000 for red) (default 000000)
  • r,g,b: Color (default 0.0)
  • a: Opacity (default 1.0)
• Example: `No Shadow Shadowed Text`

shake

Randomly jitter in all directions, creating a sense of tension/energy.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
• Example: `WARNING!`

swing

Characters spinning back and forth.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 0.0)
• Example: `Waving Text`

turb (Turbulence)

Random displacement perturbation based on noise.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
• Example: `Windy Text`

wave

Characters undulating up and down like waves.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 1.0)
• Example: `Flowing Text`

wiggle

Each character wiggles along a fixed random direction.

• Parameters:

  • a: Amplitude (default 1.0)
  • f: Frequency (default 1.0)
  • w: Wave Size (default 1.0)
• Example: `Wiggly Text!`

Parameter Quick Reference

• a: Amplitude/Opacity (meaning varies slightly across effects)
• f: Speed/Frequency
• w: Wave Size
• r: Radius

Notes

• Multi-layer rendering: Effects like glitch and neon will generate additional layers or slices.
• Rendering Order: Effects added later execute first, potentially altering inputs (e.g., coordinates/color/opacity) of preceding effects.
• Performance: High p (neon sampling) and complex overlays increase overhead; use judiciously.

Configuration

Options like typewriter speed and mode can be found in Chat Settings.
