Creating a message creator module:
1) Create a new module inside the MessageCreatorModules folder.
2) Create a function that takes a messageData object and returns:
{
KEY_BASE_FRAME = BaseFrame,
KEY_BASE_MESSAGE = BaseMessage,
KEY_UPDATE_TEXT_FUNC = function(newMessageObject) ---Function to update the text of the message.
KEY_GET_HEIGHT = function() ---Function to get the height of the message in absolute pixels,
KEY_FADE_IN = function(duration, CurveUtil) ---Function to tell the message to start fading in.
KEY_FADE_OUT = function(duration, CurveUtil) ---Function to tell the message to start fading out.
KEY_UPDATE_ANIMATION = function(dtScale, CurveUtil) ---Update animation function.
}
3) return the following format from the module:
{
KEY_MESSAGE_TYPE = "Message type this module creates messages for."
KEY_CREATOR_FUNCTION = YourFunctionHere
}
