Using the commands

Only the GMs can use these API commands.

In order to "record" the animation, move the player bookmark to the page with the DL layer you want to animate. Set up the paths on the DL layer as you want, and then use the !snapshot command.

The animation record will persist between game sessions, although the script is not set up to record different animations for different pages.

Once you're ready to show off your fantastical magical labyrinth to your players, use the !run command. Stop the animation with !stop.

You cannot record additional snapshots while the animation is running. If you need to change the animation or you're ready to record a different one, you need to use !reset to clear the old animation.

Notes

This script does not create or delete paths. If you want a frame with one or more paths missing, you can simply move them off the map.
