Scriptable Keyframes

This is an old version of this page. You can view the most recent version or browse the history.

Using the script keyframe, you can now call MM skills or MEG commands at the exact animation frame. You can add new script keyframes by opening the effects timeline within Blockbench.

Afterward, add a new keyframe on the Instructions timeline. Instead of the normal XYZ input, you will see an input called Script.

MM Skills

You can call any custom-defined MM skills by using the prefix mm: and the skill name. For example:

Primary_5:
  Skills:
    - message{m="Get punched";audience=world} @self
    - explode @ModelPart{m=dr_axis;p=attack_point}

You can even use Skill Parameters within keyframes.

Primary_5:
  Skills:
    - message{m=<skill.dialogue>;audience=world} @self
    - explode @ModelPart{m=dr_axis;p=attack_point}

MEG Commands

MEG Commands are, by design, structurally very similar to MM mechanics. Currently, we have 7 commands which have the same attributes as their MM mechanic counterpart. However, all commands will only target the model you are editing.

changeparent = ChangeParent
partvis = PartVisibility
tint = Tint
enchant = Enchant
tag = SetModelTag
changepart = ChangePart
remap = RemapModel

To use a MEG command, you just enter it like using them as a normal mechanic.

Multiline scripts

You can write multiple lines of scripts into a single keyframe, and you can also mix and match different script types.

This keyframe would run the MM Skill that plays the dialogue and effect first, then the MEG command to enchant the arm bone.

Using Animation Variables

Finally, you can make use of the Variable Placeholder system provided by Blockbench itself. This system is also extremely similar to MM's variable system, and it works on both MM skills and MEG commands.
